About NEON
NEON is a not-for-profit organisation committed to accelerating social movements. We build capacity and infrastructure to accelerate the transition to a new economy. We work across a wide range of progressive issues including climate, housing, healthcare, and migration and we support over 1,000 organisers across the UK working towards political, environmental, and social justice. Our theory of change is rooted in understanding both the strategies, stories, and structures required to sustain a movement. Short term, this results in improved movement infrastructure, skills, and connections; long term, it leads to robust relationships and movement alliances capable of systemic change.
Context
NEON’s People & Operations Hub makes sure all our internal systems run smoothly and that our team is happy, high-performing and cared for. The People & Operations Hub brings together people, culture, operations, fundraising and finance, and plays a key role in making sure NEON is both high impact and a joyful place to work, at the heart of this is ensuring our values of respect, generosity and solidarity and anti-oppression principles are embedded into all internal practices.
As part of this, we’re currently looking for someone to support us for a defined period of time to review and refresh some of our core operational and compliance areas, and support us with discrete ops tasks as they arise. This includes reviewing, updating and embedding key systems and processes so that they are clear, usable and consistently followed across NEON. Alongside this, we want to create a NEON-wide handbook, so that we have a simple accessible place where people can find everything they need to know about how we do things at NEON. We also want to strengthen our guidance around event safety, both online and in-person, so staff feel comfortable and supported when planning and delivering work. It’s crucial for us that this work is developed in collaboration with the People & Operations Hub as well as the wider team.
Who we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is comfortable moving across operational and compliance work. Someone who has a solid understanding and experience in delivering high-level health and safety, data protection, IT and systems work, and other operational aspects of running an organisation, and can turn that into something practical, usable and genuinely helpful for our team. Someone who is self-motivated, comfortable working independently, and able to take ownership of pieces of work from start to finish
We’d love someone who has experience working closely in or within people and operations teams in small- medium sized not-for profits or charities, and who knows how to take complex or messy systems and make them simpler, clearer and easier to embed in day-to-day practice. We’re looking for someone aligned with our values of respect, generosity and solidarity and is well-versed in including anti-oppression principles into operational work. Someone who is motivated by working in a values-led organisation where decisions factor in culture, trust and care as well as the technical elements.
This person should be confident reviewing and improving systems and understands and is experienced in working closely with other people to do this, whether that’s with the Director of People and Operations to receive direction or troubleshoot, working alongside our Ops Assistant to put things into practice and draw on their organisational expertise, or engaging the wider team to elicit their ideas and challenges, and incorporate them into improvements. Similarly someone who is able to work with external support we have in place around IT, HR and data protection and translate their recommendations into practical action.
They’ll need to be able to hit the ground running and pick up discrete pieces of work, working thoughtfully and collaboratively with a team that’s juggling lots of different priorities. Aside from improving key pieces of work, the other core part of the role is bringing people with them, which will involve coaching and mentoring skills, a learning and development approach, and helping others feel confident taking on and owning this work.
Above all, we’re looking for someone who understands how to make organisations compliant and well-run in a way that feels proportionate, caring, and realistic for a team of our size. Someone who can embed these pieces of work, without overcomplicating things, and who can foster a sense of shared ownership. We’re also looking for someone who really cares about how operational work is truly embedded and put into practice across organisations, who thinks carefully about what happens after their involvement or support ends and knows how to build internal capability so work doesn’t stay dependent on them.
Key deliverables
By the end of the service period, the following outputs will have been delivered and fully embedded into NEON’s ways of working:
IT and systems
The freelancer will complete a high-level review of NEON’s current IT systems, identify key risks and gaps, and produce a set of recommendations.

Outputs will include engagement with staff to understand current use and concerns, alongside the creation of clear and practical AI guidance and an organisational AI policy to support safe, thoughtful and consistent use of AI tools across NEON.
NEON Handbook
A NEON-wide handbook will be created, bringing together key processes, guidance and signposting to essential organisational information in one accessible place.
The handbook will be co-developed with staff and People & Operations Hub members to ensure it reflects day-to-day practice and is maintainable internally after completion.
Day-to-day operations support
The freelancer will provide additional operational capacity to support the Hub with emerging priorities, and time-sensitive pieces of work that arise during the contract period.
Outputs may include support with operational problem-solving and decision making, maintaining processes and procedures, providing subject knowledge expertise, maintaining documentation and other discrete operational tasks agreed with the Director of People and Operations.

Salary: £39,000–£42,000 per annum (£65,000–£70,000 FTE equivalent)
Contract: Permanent – Part time, 3 days a week
Location: London or Birmingham
Working pattern: Hybrid. Cross-region travel up to twice a month for in-person SMT meetings.
Envision is at an exciting moment. Our programmes are working, our partnerships are growing, and our team cares deeply about getting it right. What we need now is someone to help us build the infrastructure to match our ambition – reaching and impacting more young people from less-advantaged backgrounds across London, Birmingham and Bristol.
As our Chief Operating Officer, you will join our Senior Management Team and take clear ownership of Envision's finance, compliance, HR governance, and operational efficiency. This is a newly defined role – created to give the function the senior leadership it needs and to free the CEO to focus on external leadership, fundraising, and strategy.
You will join an SMT of four, working alongside the Director of Programmes and Impact and the Director of Philanthropy and Partnerships, led by the CEO. It is a collegiate team that operates with a high degree of mutual trust and collective ownership – and we are looking for someone who is as comfortable in a strategic conversation about Envision's future as they are reviewing a set of management accounts.
Key Responsibilities
Play an active role in SMT – contributing operational and financial insight to organisational planning, strategy development, and decision-making alongside the CEO and senior leadership team.
Lead finance oversight and board reporting: overseeing monthly and quarterly management accounts, leading the annual budget-setting process, owning the audit cycle, and preparing papers for the Finance, Audit and Risk Governance (FARG) Committee.
Own HR policy and governance: maintaining Envision's HR framework, handling complex employee relations matters, and overseeing the full employee lifecycle with execution led by the Business Admin and Finance Officer.
Line manage the Finance Manager and Business Admin and Finance Officer, providing clear direction and developing a high-performing team.
Lead operational improvement: conducting a review of processes and systems, building a live improvement register, and implementing agreed changes through to completion – not just to proposal.
Explore and pilot AI and automation tools for high-friction tasks. Genuine curiosity and willingness to experiment matters more than technical expertise.
Hold compliance and risk governance oversight – GDPR, Health and Safety, regulatory filings – ensuring a clear calendar of requirements is owned and met.
Essential Experience, Knowledge and Competencies
Qualified or part-qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent), or demonstrable equivalent finance expertise.
Proven experience in a senior operational leadership role with finance oversight responsibility.
Experience of audit management and board-level financial reporting.
Track record of leading and developing small teams.
Working knowledge of GDPR and charity compliance obligations.
Demonstrable ability to operate at a strategic and governance level
Experience leading operational process or systems improvement, from diagnosis through to implementation.
Active interest in AI and automation tools, with a practical approach to exploring and applying them.
Commitment to Envision's vision, mission and values and ability to work well in, and contribute to, our organisational culture.
Envision actively encourages applications from those from Black and Minority Ethnic backgrounds and from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as they are currently under-represented in our organisation. We seek to ensure we achieve diversity in our workforce and that all applicants and employees receive equal and fair treatment, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability or nationality. Envision graduates will be guaranteed a first-round interview.

Product Lead – HOSTHub
(Operational Product Delivery)
Reports to: Operations Director (Head of Delivery)
Contract: 1.0 FTE (Temp to Perm)
Location: Remote (UK or International)
Role Purpose
The Product Lead – HOSTHub is responsible for identifying, prioritising, and resolving day-to-day product challenges across HOST’s digital platform.
HOSTHub serves as the operational backbone of the organisation, enabling delivery across finance, legal, partnerships, and hosted partner services. In this role, the Product Lead ensures the platform functions effectively in practice—by understanding user needs, surfacing issues early, and driving the design, prioritisation, and rapid delivery of solutions.
While contributing to the longer-term product vision in collaboration with the leadership team and development partners, the primary focus remains on operational product delivery. This includes managing fortnightly sprint cycles, maintaining a dynamic and prioritised backlog, and ensuring continuous alignment between user requirements, internal processes, and platform capabilities.
The role requires a highly hands-on individual who thrives at the intersection of users, internal teams, and developers, with the ability to translate real-world challenges into clear, actionable product decisions.
Core Responsibilities
1. Product Problem Identification and Prioritisation
Lead the ongoing identification of friction points, inefficiencies, and system gaps across HOSTHub use cases, including those impacting hosted partners, funders, and internal staff workflows.
Maintain a dynamic, prioritised backlog of product issues and enhancements, informed by user insight and operational impact.
Work closely with delivery teams across finance, legal, partnerships, and community support to understand how the platform performs in practice and where it falls short of user needs.
Translate operational challenges into clear, well-defined product requirements that are actionable for development teams.
Ensure prioritisation is driven by delivery urgency, risk exposure, and opportunities for efficiency, rather than abstract feature development.
2. Sprint Management and Delivery Execution
Own the end-to-end delivery of the product, managing fortnightly sprint cycles.
Set sprint priorities, create and refine tickets, and ensure all development work is well-scoped, logically sequenced, and ready for delivery.
Collaborate directly with development contractors to run sprint planning, stand-ups (where applicable), and sprint reviews.
Validate completed work against real user workflows before release to ensure quality and usability.
Maintain clear visibility of progress, risks, and dependencies, escalating blockers and trade-offs to the Operations Director as needed.
Provide bi-weekly sprint reports outlining delivered outcomes, outstanding issues, and upcoming priorities.
3. User Engagement and Feedback Loops
Establish continuous feedback loops with both internal users (staff teams) and external stakeholders (hosted partners and funders).
Conduct structured user conversations to understand how systems are used in practice, not just how they were designed to be used.
Validate proposed solutions with users prior to development where appropriate, ensuring alignment with real needs.
Ensure user insights consistently inform backlog prioritisation and shape sprint scope.
Maintain a clear view of user satisfaction grounded in qualitative feedback, not just survey-based metrics.
4. Cross-Team Operational Alignment
Act as the central point of coordination across product, delivery teams, and external developers.
Ensure HOSTHub effectively supports real operational workflows across key service areas, including Project Hosting, Hosted Grantmaking, and Capacity Building.
Partner closely with Finance, Legal, and Partnerships teams to align system functionality with compliance, contractual, and reporting requirements.
Identify and resolve misalignments between team processes and platform functionality, either by adapting the system or clarifying and standardising ways of working.
5. Development Oversight
Manage the day-to-day relationship with the development team, ensuring requirements are clear and issues are addressed promptly.
Ensure all development outputs are practical, functional, and aligned with real operational needs.
Avoid over-specification and unnecessary complexity, prioritising simple, implementable solutions.
Track defects, rework, and technical debt, incorporating them into sprint priorities where they have a meaningful operational impact.
6. Data, Workflow, and System Effectiveness
Ensure HOSTHub captures and delivers data that is accurate, actionable, and aligned with reporting requirements.
Identify and implement opportunities to automate key workflows, reducing manual effort across teams.
Partner with internal stakeholders to ensure system logic supports compliance and audit requirements in day-to-day operations.
Maintain clear, practical documentation of key workflows and system behaviours to support effective operational use.
7. Risk, Compliance, and System Integrity
Work closely with the Legal Lead and Operations Director to ensure product decisions do not introduce unmanaged risk.
Prioritise data protection, security, and system reliability as core product considerations.
Ensure compliance requirements, including data protection and financial controls, are embedded in how the platform operates in practice.
Take clear ownership of system incidents or failures, coordinating response and ensuring timely resolution and follow-through.
8. Contribution to Product Direction
Contribute to longer-term product thinking, including roadmap development and the ongoing evolution of the system.
Provide grounded input to strategy based on observed user behaviour, operational constraints, and delivery realities.
Ensure product direction remains focused on solutions that are practical, scalable, and genuinely valuable to users.
Key Relationships
Internal: Operations Director, Finance Team, Legal Lead, Partnerships Director, Community Support Team, Data Analyst, Training Lead.
External: Developers, technical providers, hosted partners, funders.

Strong alignment between platform functionality and operational delivery needs.

Required Experience
5–8 years’ experience in hands-on product management or product delivery roles, with clear ownership of day-to-day execution.

Strong track record of identifying user needs and translating them into effective product solutions.
Experience working with complex operational systems involving multiple user groups and workflows.
