Project Manager - Inside Track

ABOUT US

There are millions of highly educated, well-paid, politically engaged people who care deeply about the world. Every morning, they go to work in professional services firms knowing that the firms they work for and the industries that they are a part of are blockers rather than enablers to a just transition. 

They look for ways to ‘make a difference’ internally but fall at every hurdle. They think about quitting but feel financially tied to their jobs. They become accepting of the fact that things are how they are. They become disillusioned and start to feel helplessness and even shame. They offer little value to the transformation that the world needs and that they themselves yearn for. 

Inside Track supports professionals working within major industries to come together — often in confidential or anonymous settings — to surface insights and build collective power for an equitable, regenerative future.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role is a Project Manager at a start-up non-profit looking to create a global movement to support senior professionals in powerful industries to - collectively and anonymously - help drive positive change in their industries.

This is an amazing opportunity for someone interested in shaping a new and ambitious organisation, and supporting the development of a new method of civil society organising.

PERSON SPECIFICATION 

We are looking for someone with at least two years of professional experience who is: 

1. Able to work delicately in high trust environments; 
2. Able to work collaboratively with partners; 
3. Energised to search and recruit for Insiders from a ‘cold’ start (e.g. building new relationships on Linkedin, etc.); and
4. Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of. 

We will be looking for people who have had to build things from scratch and are used to working with diverse stakeholder groups and holding a strong sense of purpose. 

We are particularly interested in candidates with a background and experience in public health, health inequalities and diversity, equity and inclusion. 

HOW TO APPLY 

Stage 1: Applicants are requested to apply via CharityJob by 10am on 27th October 2025. 

Stage 2: You’ll be invited to submit a full cover letter and/or attend a video call interview with one of our team to discuss your application.

High Trees Community Development Trust is seeking an experienced and dynamic Head of Community Action to join our senior management team and lead one of our core service areas.

This is an exciting and important role within our work, continually shaped by the needs and priorities of the communities we work alongside. While the focus of our Community Action service evolves year on year, it always centres on social action, capacity building, and strengthening community voice.

This coming year will see this work expand rapidly, following High Trees’ successful bid to deliver the local authority contract for capacity building support to voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations across Lambeth.

The Head of Community Action leads on a diverse range of areas, which shift each year in response to community needs and opportunities to strengthen civic voice and local infrastructures. In recent years, this has included supporting residents to lead community organising campaigns to improve the built environment, coordinating digital inclusion initiatives during the Covid-19 pandemic, capacity building Tenants and Residents Associations and supporting the creation of local neighbourhood plans that put residents’ voices at the centre of decision-making.

As part of High Trees’ senior management team, the Head of Community Action will not only oversee delivery in their service area, but also help shape organisational strategy, grow partnerships and income, and ensure we work as one High Trees – keeping our practice responsive, collaborative, and always led by community need.
