Current job opportunities

Head of Impact and Influence – Bristol, UK Office

Overview

Are you an experienced purpose led leader who is passionate about using insight, evidence, innovation and influence to create meaningful change?

This role would suit someone who is energised by learning, connecting ideas, influencing others and helping organisations stay ahead of emerging scientific, environmental and societal change.

There has never been a more exciting moment to join Natracare (Bodywise UK Ltd). As we transition into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT), we’re investing in our future, growing our team, strengthening what has always made us exceptional, and building the foundations for long-term shared success.

For over 37 years, we’ve been pioneers and global leaders in natural period and personal care. We’ve championed health, environmental responsibility, equity and human rights across our sector. Our reputation has been built on uncompromising standards, scientific integrity, innovation and a willingness to challenge the status quo.

As our founder gradually transitions away from day-to-day leadership, we are looking for someone to help protect and evolve the principles, standards and expertise that have made Natracare a trusted leader worldwide. This newly created role sits at the heart of that transition.

We’re looking for a strategic leader who can bring together emerging science, regulatory intelligence, environmental insights and industry developments to help shape the future of the brand and business. You will help ensure Natracare is positioned to make the right decisions and continues to lead the category.

This is an opportunity to combine purpose, innovation, education and strategic influence in a business where impact is central to who we are.

The role

We’re looking for a Head of Impact & Influence to champion and embed Natracare’s standards, purpose and thought leadership throughout the organisation.

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role working directly with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team and managing a team of three.

You can influence without relying on hierarchy
You build credibility through expertise, relationships and trust
You are passionate about protecting and evolving purpose-led brands
You believe business can be a force for positive change

This is not a traditional sustainability or regulatory role. We’re looking for someone who is naturally curious about the world, passionate about understanding emerging issues, foraging for information and motivated by helping organisations stay ahead of change.

You don’t need to be the expert in every subject area. Instead, you’ll know how to find the right expertise, ask the right questions and bring the right people together to connect purpose with business success.

Most importantly, you’ll be excited by the opportunity to help protect and evolve a trusted purpose-led brand, ensuring the principles that have guided Natracare for more than 37 years continue to shape its future. You are protecting an asset that doesn’t appear on the balance sheet but is crucial to our growth: trust, credibility, standards, differentiation and category leadership.

Working at Natracare

Since 1989, Natracare and our founder Susie Hewson have been campaigning for better options for our bodies, the planet, and workers.

Natracare is an equal opportunity employer, looking to build a diverse and well-rounded team working together towards one common goal: making the world a better, more sustainable place.

For us, it’s never been about profit, our mission is to create positive change for people and the planet. Guided by our values of being trustworthy, people focused, purpose led, and sustainable, we’re committed to doing things the right way. We were the first period care brand to join 1% for the Planet and are proudly B Corp certified.

As a Bristol based, family run business, we’ve built a calm, friendly workplace that’s surrounded by gardens where people can relax or meet outdoors. Everything we do reflects our belief in transparency, wellbeing, ethical practice, and meaningful impact.

We’re committed to promoting equality, diversity, and the rights of all of our people to be treated fairly. Natracare has proudly developed menstrual and menopause health and wellbeing policies to help support people at work. No-one should be at a disadvantage at work because of their periods or the menopause. We also support our people with periods by providing free period products in our bathrooms for all staff and guests. We were also the world’s first period product brand to become an endometriosis friendly employer.

We practice what we preach when it comes to sustainability – we buy organic where possible, including a weekly seasonal fruit box for the office. All equipment and stationery are considered for their impact on the planet and always with minimal plastic packaging. Natracare HQ is powered by the sun, with hot water and heating generated from air-source heat pumps. Our office is powered with a 40kW solar array, helping to save around 18,000 kg of CO₂ every single year. We even provide green energy back to the power grid on sunny days.

At Natracare, we believe in the empowerment of all people and want to ensure that’s reflected within our team. We’re a female founded, family run company and proud to have a variety of women in leadership roles in the office. We proactively invest in charities, organisations, and content creators from a whole host of backgrounds. Since 2019, we’ve been proud members of 1% for the Planet, donating over 1% of our turnover each year to environmental charities.

We enjoy working collaboratively in our vibrant office space based in South Gloucestershire, UK. We eat lunch around our kitchen table and picnic in the garden during the warmer months. The office is a lively and inviting place to spend work days – with an array of plants, an original Banksy on the wall, and people chatting away in at least one of the nine languages our team members speak.

We seek to further embrace diversity at Natracare’s head office – which is why if working with us sounds like a great fit for you, we’d love for you to get in touch!
