Natural Resources Wales is a young and ambitious organisation with a unique remit that is breaking new ground in its sustainable management of Wales’ precious natural resources. When natural resources and our ecosystems flourish, society and the economy thrive as well. Established in 2013 by the Welsh Government, this pan-Wales organisation of 2000 people with a budget of £200m is the first of its kind in the world to bring together the tools needed to manage, maintain, enhance and sustain natural resources. NRW have a unique legislative framework within Wales that gives exceptional scope for this role to make a real difference on a significant scale. The organisation wants to be one of the first to leave the natural environment in a better state than they found it in, and to help improve the well-being and prosperity of the people of Wales.
Due to a restructure, NRW seek a Head of Sustainable Commercial Development to join their leadership team. This role offers an exceptional opportunity for someone with a passion for the sustainable management of natural resources and commercial development to lead a team of c. 35 staff in Commercial and Business Development and an annual budget of £30m timber sales, £13m commercial income, and £11.5m spend.
NRW’s commercial activities including Energy, Timber, Tourism & Recreation, Culture and Analytical Services provide an important income stream at a time when public funding continues to be stretched to cover more and go further with less. However, their commercial activity is not focused on financial gain alone. Planet and People are as important as ‘Profit’ (income/investment) and NRW are focused on Prosperity for Wales.
NRW are looking for an inspiring individual with passion who can nurture the organisation to grow in confidence in its commercial delivery, the energy to help NRW, customers and partners achieve their goals, shape their long-term commercial proposition and realise their potential as an organisation.

40.3 million people live in slavery today, with men, women and children used, controlled and exploited by other people for commercial or personal gain. The Freedom Fund is a leader in the global movement to end modern slavery.
We identify and invest in the most effective frontline efforts to eradicate modern slavery in the countries and sectors where it is most prevalent. Partnering with visionary investors, governments, anti-slavery organisations and those at risk of exploitation, we tackle the systems that allow slavery to persist and thrive. Working together, we protect vulnerable populations, liberate and reintegrate those enslaved and prosecute those responsible.
The Freedom Fund operates anti-slavery programs in Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Thailand and Myanmar and will open new programs in Brazil, Indonesia and Bangladesh in 2021.
The Freedom Fund
Director of Programs
Location: London Office
Salary: £72,000 - £78,000 per year, depending on experience + UK permit sponsorship and relocation package where relevant
In its first seven years, the Freedom Fund has supported and funded over 140 organisations, many of them grassroots NGOs fighting slavery in their local communities, and has had a direct impact on nearly a million people. We are now looking for a Director of Programs as we embark on our new strategy, a key pillar of which is our “hotspot programs” in countries where slavery is concentrated, where we invest in a range of community-based organisations to protect those at risk of slavery, liberate and rehabilitate those enslaved and prosecute those responsible. The Director of Programs will lead this expanding portfolio of work, helping to drive our overall strategy, leading a team of 30 people running the hotspot programs, and representing the organisation to external partners. As a member of the Senior Management Team, the Director of Programs will also be a critical voice in the overall leadership and governance of the Freedom Fund.
We are seeking a creative strategic thinker and program implementer with a team player ethos and an ability to communicate with passion the importance of our work. The successful candidate will bring significant experience in managing human rights or international development programs in the Global South, including sizeable government-funded projects, and will enjoy working in rapidly evolving organisations. With a passion for human rights issues and an agile approach, you will have experience of working with frontline organisations in developing countries and of developing multi-cultural teams through change and growth. You will bring a track record of communicating the importance and impact of your work with wide range of global stakeholders and major funders. You will enjoy being part of our growing, fast-paced and collegiate organisation and will be dedicated to righting the power imbalances that put people at risk.
