About HOST

HOST is a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to unlocking the power of people and communities to drive meaningful change. We believe that real transformation happens from the ground up — and that grassroots activists and movements are key to tackling today’s most urgent environmental and social challenges. 

And we know that our partners face barriers. That they don’t always have access to the right resources, networks, or operational solutions. That’s where we come in. HOST provides the infrastructure, strategic development expertise, and tailored support they need to thrive. 

We exist to make their lives easier, taking care of essential back-office responsibilities — financial, legal, and administrative — so they can get on with the difficult challenges. And we offer strategic guidance to help them build momentum, strengthen their impact, and sustain their work for the long term. 

In the face of an ever-changing world of systemic challenges, we strive to create meaningful connections and support shared progress — so our work is rooted in collaboration, inclusivity, and trust. Together, we enable the people and projects driving change to navigate complexities, overcome barriers, and make a lasting impact for a more just and equitable future. 

Since 2020, we’ve supported over 350 changemakers in more than 90 countries. Because we believe in doing the right thing, acting with urgency, and working alongside change-makers to create a better world.

3. Systems, Processes, and SOPs 

• Develop and maintain all Community Support SOPs. 

• Support the development and testing of HOSTHub features relevant to Project Hosting. 

• Work with the Tech and Operations teams to improve efficiency and automation. 
   

4. Risk and Compliance 

• Lead risk identification, screening, and management for Hosted Partners. 

• Work closely with the Legal Circle on legal requests, contract amendments, and risk escalations. 

• Maintain accurate documentation of risk assessments and resolutions. 
   

5. Pricing, Performance and Development 

• Set and manage pricing within the approved HOST fee range. 

• Track and analyse key performance indicators (KPIs) with support from the Data Analyst. 

• Lead annual Project Hosting service reviews and contribute to continuous improvement. 
   

6. Collaboration and Communications 

• Work with Communications to deliver partner-facing materials, including the Project Hosting Bulletin. 

• Ensure all partner resources reflect HOST’s empowering, expert, and empathetic tone. 

Required Experience 

• 5+ years' experience in operations, partnerships, or programme delivery within a not-for-profit, social enterprise, or international NGO. 

• 3+ years' experience managing partner or client relationships, ideally across multiple regions or cultures. 

• 2+ years' experience leading and developing a small team, including setting goals, coaching, and performance management. 

• Confident managing systems, workflows, and digital tools (such as ClickUp, Zendesk, Jotform, or CRM platforms). 

• Proven ability to coordinate across departments and disciplines to resolve complex partner or client issues. 

• Experience designing, documenting, and improving organisational processes or SOPs to drive efficiency. 

• Strong analytical and reporting skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into service or system improvements. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent HOST’s tone and values in partner-facing communications. 

• Demonstrated organisational and problem-solving skills, with a track record of meeting deadlines in fast-moving, distributed teams.
