In this role you’ll sit squarely at the heart of an ambitious and creative climate action charity working for a zero carbon Britain that belongs to everybody. Part of a three person collective leadership campaign, you'll take responsibility for the evolution of the organisational architecture and resources needed to deliver our mission. Alongside, you’ll work closely with co-directors to forge our strategic direction in an always changing, and challenging, world.

As well as peer-managing one of the other co-directors, you’ll lead on governance and line-manage heads of operations, fundraising and finance, holding overall accountability for each area of their work.

• Deadline for applications: 10am, Wednesday 15th June.

Person specification:

• Demonstrable ability to work as part of a senior leadership team with a commitment to principles of shared leadership.

• Experience of organisational management and planning at a strategic level. You must be able to demonstrate an understanding of the challenges of running a UK based small-medium charity, but that doesn’t mean you have to be working for one.

• Experience of financial oversight responsibility, with strong understanding of organisational financial management and reporting.

• At least two years of line management experience and a commitment to anti-oppressive working, staff welfare and a mutually supportive organisational culture.

• Comprehensive understanding of charity governance requirements, including risk management and mitigation, and an understanding of key areas of legal operational compliance, e.g. employment law.

• Experience of project management, and the ability to provide project support and oversight. 

• Demonstrable ability to think independently, critically and creatively, and to take responsibility for decision making.

• Experience of developing and managing key senior relationships with organisational partners and stakeholders - including funders.

About Possible:

At Possible, we know we need to tackle the climate crisis, and we need to move fast. 

The sheer scale of action required means it will touch everyone’s lives. If we’re going to move at the speed required - and if we’re going to ensure the new world we build is a fair one - people and communities have to be involved. Politicians, corporations and other established institutions will have to play a key role too, but they will only move fast enough once they know their constituents and customers are on board. The climate movement must be a mass movement or it simply won’t achieve its aims.

Whether we’re running tree-planting days or heat-camera treasure hunts, plugging community-owned solar into train lines, enabling flight free holidays, or winning a world-first televised election climate debate, everything we do is about inspiring more people to take more ambitious action on the climate crisis.

Combining personal and local actions with larger systemic change, at Possible we face our climate dread with a can-do attitude and sense of fun.

We’re recruiting for a collaborative Director of Programmes and Community Power Building to join our team as the third member of the Executive.

As Director of Programmes and Community Power Building at the Finance Innovation Lab you will develop the next stage of our community strategy, leading the growth and engagement of our community of systems-changemakers - including activists, campaigners, innovators, intrapreneurs, practitioners and thought leaders - all working towards a financial system that serves people and planet.

We are looking for someone to lead our thinking of how to build community power to shift the power dynamics in the system, challenge the underlying power structures and mental models that hold the system in place, and achieve tangible impact that helps build a financial system which is democratic, sustainable, just and resilient.

You’ll have responsibility for overseeing our programmes including supporting programme leads with strategy development, fundraising, and thought engagement.

You should be UK-based and able to reach our office in London regularly for external meetings. In accordance with our environmental aims we strongly prefer staff to avoid air travel where possible.
