Role description
Skills for Care is the strategic workforce development and planning body for adult social care in England. We work with employers, Government and partners to ensure social care has the right people, skills and support required to deliver the highest quality care and support now and in the future. Internally this role is called Product and Proposition Manager; the external job title is Proposition Manager.
Skills for Care is expanding its commercial offer over the next five years and is seeking a commercially minded Proposition Manager to apply experience in a purpose-driven organisation and make a real difference to the sector. The role is ideal for someone with a strong commercial background in commercial proposition development, consulting, or strategy, who is motivated by applying those skills in a charity environment where impact is tangible.
As Proposition Manager, you’ll play a central role in shaping how new ideas become viable, valuable offers for the market. You’ll bring structure, commercial thinking and customer insight to decisions about what Skills for Care develops, grows, evolves or stops. Your focus will be on the commercial design of propositions: understanding customer needs, defining value, shaping pricing and commercial models, and building robust business cases. Working with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll help ensure that what we bring to market is commercially viable, clearly positioned, and aligned with customer value and organisational priorities.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of strategy, insight and delivery – turning ideas into clear propositions and helping an organisation make confident, evidence-based decisions about where to invest and grow. If you’re excited by applying your commercial expertise in a charity setting, helping to strengthen and develop the adult social care workforce, we’d be keen to hear from you.
