Social Impact Study Manager Dagenham, England
Job description
Who are we at Arctech Innovation:
- We are on a mission to protect people’s health by enabling new and innovative products and technologies to predict and prevent the spread of pests and disease.
- We all live in a bug’s world. For every one of us, there’s around 500 million of them. We know we can’t eliminate every pest or disease. We also know that the next pandemic is likely to be an insect-borne disease. So, at Arctech Innovation, we are bringing together artificial intelligence with the genius of nature to revolutionize the way we manage diseases and prepare for future outbreaks.
- We believe in the power of partnership-driven social impact – we work with the private sector, governments, NGOs and academia to drive behaviour change, consumer engagement and community education to protect people against the threats of communicable diseases, in particular those diseases transmitted by insect vectors.
- With our deep expertise in medical entomology, insect behaviour, analytical chemistry, behaviour change and data modelling, we’ve already impacted more than 250m lives and established Arctech Innovation as an influencer and disruptor within global and public health.
Who you are:
- You are dynamic, enthusiastic, inquisitive and a self-starter, who loves to work in a fast-paced environment.
