In this senior leadership role, you’ll work closely with the CEO, Management Board and management team to shape our financial strategy, strengthen governance, and ensure effective management of our people, data, IT and facilities functions. This is a fantastic opportunity to bring your expertise to an organisation with a big heart, a strong social purpose and a team that genuinely cares.

  • Lead IT oversight and the outsourced IT function, ensuring systems are maintained and improved.
  • Oversee facilities management and represent WECHI as a Director for Hide Market Management.
