Job description

Head of Governance and Institutional Relations

About Charity Right

At Charity Right, we are a focused and passionate international food charity on a mission to free people from the devastating effects of hunger. Since our founding, we have provided over 40 million meals across 7 countries, serving those who need it most with dignity and care.

Our Mission
We believe that no child should go to school hungry. Our single-cause focus allows us to be exceptionally effective at what we do best: providing nutritious school meals that keep children in classrooms and give them the opportunity to break free from poverty through education.

About the Role

This is a newly created leadership role responsible for developing and embedding the governance infrastructure and strategic partnerships that will position Charity Right as a credible and competitive organisation for institutional funding. The Head of Governance and Institutional Relations will be responsible for cultivating relationships with institutional funders, multilateral agencies, and foundations, while also leading internal governance and capacity-building efforts to ensure Charity Right is fully prepared to secure and deliver such partnerships.

The role will build and oversee the development of international branch offices where appropriate, ensuring alignment with partner eligibility requirements and regulatory frameworks. This role is cross-functional and high-impact, sitting at the intersection of compliance, strategy, fundraising, and programme delivery.

  • Build a comprehensive pipeline of funding opportunities aligned with Charity Right’s mission and delivery capacity.
  • Work closely with Programmes, Finance, and Fundraising teams to coordinate compelling funding proposals and aligned delivery models.

Organisational Governance & Capacity Building

  • Lead the development and continuous improvement of Charity Right’s governance framework to meet international standards for institutional funders.

International Presence & Localisation Strategy

  • Design and oversee the establishment of Charity Right branch offices in key geographies.
  • Ensure all international branches are compliant with local laws, reporting requirements, and brand/mission alignment.
  • Collaborate with legal and operational advisors to manage entity registration, governance structures, and oversight models in each country.

Strategic Partnerships and Alliances

  • Develop and implement a formal institutional partnering strategy.
  • Identify and vet strategic implementation partners that complement Charity Right’s delivery capabilities.
  • Negotiate, draft, and manage partnership agreements ensuring alignment with Charity Right’s values and strategic objectives.

Monitoring, Reporting & Evaluation

  • Develop and implement a framework to monitor the performance and outcomes of institutional partnerships and funded projects.
  • Ensure robust reporting mechanisms, including narrative and financial reporting, are in place.
  • Regularly brief the CEO and Board on the status of funder relationships, branch development, and institutional readiness.

Essential Skills and Experience

  • Significant senior-level experience in institutional fundraising, partnership management, or international development.
  • Strong understanding of governance frameworks, compliance standards, and operational due diligence requirements for international NGOs.
  • Demonstrated success in securing and managing funding from institutional donors.
  • Experience in establishing and managing international offices, branches, or subsidiaries.
  • Proven leadership skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across departments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strategic thinker with strong project management and execution capability.
  • Values-driven, with a commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusion.
  • Familiarity with safeguarding frameworks, donor audits, and risk registers.
