Delivering Together

Are you the experienced charity leader that will take our operational delivery to the next level?

The Operations Manager is a new leadership position that will play a pivotal role in the delivery of FFLAG’s operations which span online, offline, and local group support for parents and carers of LGBT+ loved ones. We also want you to bring experience of fundraising to help ensure we stay financially secure for the long term.

About FFLAG

FFLAG is a national voluntary organisation and registered charity and is the UK’s longest established parent support charity in the LGBT+ sector. Our history began in the grassroots parent helplines of the 1960s, grew through the 1980’s and 90’s as we supported anxious parents and fought against the discrimination of Section 28, becoming a formally registered charity in 2000.

Our work sounds simple, but it is life changing. We help parents and families understand, accept and support their LGBT+ family members with love and pride.

We offer a range of support options spanning 121 online and helpline support services, to a UK-wide monthly group Zoom meeting and face to face local groups. We also have an extensive collection of online resources and guides.  We attend as many Pride events as we can and our work supports thousands of families every year. This support is provided by an active base of FFLAG volunteers who are parents of LGBT+ children themselves, supported by other volunteers and allies. 

In addition to our support work, FFLAG advocates for the full human and civil rights of LGBT+ individuals. FFLAG speaks out and acts to defend and enhance those human and civil rights. 

What this job is all about

Simply put, as Operations Manager you will ensure the charity's activities are effective, sustainable, and aligned with our mission to support families with LGBT+ members

Reporting directly to the Chair, working closely with the Board of Trustees and supported by a part-time Volunteer Engagement & Events Coordinator you will:

• Lead and supervise the daily operational functions, ensuring smooth and compliant delivery of services.
• Lead fundraising activities, including grant applications, donor stewardship, and partnership development.
• Manage and support staff and volunteers, nurturing a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture.
• Support the Trustees to ensure compliance with all relevant UK charity legislation and regulatory requirements (e.g., Charity Commission, safeguarding, risk management, data protection).
• Collaborate with the Chair and Board of Trustees to develop and implement strategic plans, with clear KPIs and measurable outcomes.

What else might you be involved in?

Because this is a new role we expect to learn together about what additional activities you can support us with beyond the key priorities mentioned above.  This could include helping us to: 

• Monitor and report on operational performance, identifying opportunities for innovation and growth.
• Oversee financial management including budgeting, forecasting, and reporting, ensuring resources are used efficiently and transparently.
• Oversee communications and stakeholder engagement, including public relations, digital presence including website and social media, and community outreach.
• Act as an ambassador for FFLAG at events, forums, and in collaborative partnerships.

What are the skills and attributes you will need to be successful?

As the most senior employed position in the charity, we need an experienced operational leader that can grow with us. You will be self-motivated and enjoy working independently without the need for close supervision.  

In terms of specific areas of skill or experience we are looking for people who can demonstrate previous experience of:

• Operational Leadership: Demonstrable experience in a senior operations role, ideally within the charity or voluntary sector.
• Fundraising: Experience supporting or leading fundraising campaigns and developing income streams.
• Governance: Knowledge of UK charity governance and regulatory compliance.
• People Management: Confident in leading, motivating, and developing a small team and volunteers.
• Commitment to Inclusion: Passionate about equality, diversity, and supporting the LGBT+ community and their families.

• Strategic Thinking: Able to translate vision into actionable plans and execute effectively.

That’s where this role comes in. It’s an amazing opportunity to grow as a leader whilst helping us manage our growth and deliver excellent support services. 

We offer flexible remote working – we expect 3 days per week of effort but how you deliver that is open to discussion. And we are offering what we believe is a competitive financial and benefits package for the role.

At Impetus, our focus is on helping young people achieve positive education and employment outcomes to increase their chance of leading fulfilling and successful lives, irrespective of their background.

We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:  ​​

Through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change, we work towards a society where all young people can thrive in school, pass their exams and unlock the doors to sustained employment, for a fulfilling life. ​​

We are resolutely focused on outcomes and impact, driven by quality evidence.​

As the Project Manager - Data Programmes, you'll work closely with our Head of Data Science and Head of Volunteer Programmes to triage, scope, and manage our projects and to ensure we deliver impactful, responsible data science solutions for our partners. This includes leading and managing some of our key support programmes.

You'll be part of a kind and collaborative five-person staff team, and will work closely with our talented community of volunteer data scientists. This is an exciting and unusual opportunity to shape how the third sector uses data. Join us!

About DataKind UK

DataKind UK is a small infrastructure charity with a vision of a strong, thriving third sector that embraces data science to become more impactful. Effective data use has the potential to transform an organisation's impact by improving decision-making, maximising operational efficiency, and ensuring service delivery is evidence-based. A lack of access to responsible data science skills and techniques in the third sector means it isn’t having the impact it could.

We provide a variety of free and contracted support services to help third sector organisations achieve their missions, encourage innovation, and improve decision making, problem solving, and practices.

Since 2013, more than 2,200 DataKind UK volunteers have supported over 300 charities—from large organisations like St John Ambulance and Action for Children to local food banks and campaigning charities—helping them better understand their users, evaluate what's working, streamline routine tasks, and ultimately better tackle society's biggest challenges. 

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for an experienced, people-oriented project manager who is excited to help us deliver and scale innovative data programmes. You will work directly with organisations from across the third sector to understand their missions and translate their challenges into well-scoped projects. You will also support teams of volunteer data experts to scope projects and deliver impactful data science solutions.

You don't need to write code or run analysis yourself, but you should be comfortable working alongside technical experts, asking the right questions to scope data projects, and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll need to hold conversations with data scientists about what's feasible, help charity partners understand what's possible with their data, and know when to bring in additional technical expertise.

If you don’t have all the experience and skills listed below, please still consider applying. We don’t expect a candidate to have 100% of these, but we do want to know that you have relevant experience and an appetite to learn in other areas.

Essential skills and experience

• Project management: You are a skilled project manager, successfully leading projects involving multiple stakeholders from conception to completion. You have experience managing multiple projects at once and can successfully prioritise and juggle competing demands. You can plan ahead, allocate resources, identify and mitigate risks, and bring in additional expertise as required.
• Scoping and needs assessment: You have experience collaborating with clients/stakeholders to assess their challenges, translate them into project plans, evaluate their feasibility, and create delivery plans.
• Volunteer and/or people management: Experience recruiting, training, coordinating, or managing volunteers or managing people over whom you do not have direct authority (eg. contractors/freelancers). Comfortable leading multi-skilled teams in a remote-first environment, fostering collaboration within newly established groups.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong active listening skills. You have experience being the main liaison for a project or programme, providing regular updates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’re not afraid to ask clarifying questions in areas that are new to you. You are skilled at distilling the key insights or next steps in project meetings to ensure clarity on the big picture and details.

Desirable

• Experience managing or delivering data-related or social tech projects.
• Experience volunteering or working with volunteers.
• Familiarity with CRMs and/or project management software.
• Experience working or volunteering in the UK nonprofit/charity sector.
• Knowledge of the UK nonprofit/charity landscape and common digital, data, or tech challenges facing third sector organisations.
• Understanding of privacy, ethics, or responsible data and AI.
• Experience with impact measurement or evaluation frameworks.

Qualities

• You are aligned with DataKind UK’s core values: curious, responsible, collaborative.
• You have an interest in data, are willing to work with technical volunteers, feel comfortable asking questions, and are keen to learn more!
• You are self-directed and goal-oriented, and like working independently.
• An approachable, friendly people-person, you enjoy building productive relationships with people from different backgrounds and experience levels, and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
• You thrive in an environment where every day is a bit different, and you are happy working flexibly and adaptively. 
• You are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views, and values.
• You like to learn and can quickly absorb and synthesise information from new domains. You know what you don’t know and are comfortable asking questions or for help. You can switch between big-picture and detail-oriented thinking.
• You are a collaborative team player, and happy to jump in and support team members where needed. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit.

Working hours and location 

This is a full-time role (35 hours per week); however we will consider part-time options (28 or 32 hours per week) for a strong candidate. Working hours are flexible, but we ask that 75% of working time is within the hours of 10am and 6pm, to facilitate team working and real-time collaboration.

The role requires regular out-of-hours commitments - roughly one weekend per quarter and 2-4 evenings per month for volunteer events. This work is part of, rather than additional to, your hours, and you must take time off in lieu for any extra working hours.

Our organisation is remote-first, and this role is hybrid, with access to London office space on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and quarterly in-person commitments in London. We have a preference for candidates able to work from our office space in London at least one day per week. There may be occasional national travel within the UK for other events and conferences, with reasonable expenses covered.

You must have the right to work in the UK.

Benefits

• Working in a small, flexible, hybrid team where you are trusted to manage your time and your projects. If you need to take time out of the day to go to a dentist appointment or for your child’s school play, go ahead! We are focused on outputs over time spent at your desk.
• Onboarding and continual development of data science, analytical, and technical knowledge.
• 27 days of annual leave + 8 public holidays.
• 5% employer pension contribution.
