About CLTR

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is a UK-based, non-profit and independent think tank with a mission to transform global resilience to extreme AI and biological risks. We achieve this by working with governments and institutions, offering targeted, evidence-based advice designed to enhance understanding, decision-making and governance.

The Role

The Operations Manager is a key hire within our small but highly effective Operations Unit, sitting alongside a People Operations Manager and reporting directly to the Director of Operations. The Operations Manager will play a pivotal role in supporting CLTR’s overall operations, working across units and delivering projects spanning cybersecurity, finance, administration, data protection, office management and others.

This is a hands-on, generalist role suited to a skilled and self-motivated operator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is comfortable switching between strategic project management and day-to-day delivery. You will have the confidence to take on new challenges and the ability to communicate clearly with internal teams, contractors and external service providers to drive impact.

You will take ownership of key operational systems and processes, lead on our internal cybersecurity and IT operations (in partnership with our external managed service provider), and support a range of compliance, administrative, and organisational improvement projects. As the organisation grows, this role will be central to building the infrastructure that supports a scaling team.

What you’ll do:

Project & Operations Management

• Project manage key operational initiatives from initiation through to delivery, maintaining clear plans, timelines, and stakeholder communication.

• Support the Director of Operations in developing and implementing operational strategies aligned with the organisation's growth plans.

• Identify inefficiencies in existing systems and processes and drive improvements, ensuring the organisation is well-positioned to scale.

• Maintain operational documentation, process guides, and internal knowledge management systems.

Cybersecurity and IT:

• Serve as the primary internal point of contact for our external IT and managed security service provider, ensuring service levels are maintained and issues are resolved promptly.

• Oversee day-to-day IT operations including device management, software licensing, onboarding/offboarding technology needs, and user support escalations.

• Lead the implementation and ongoing management of the organisation's cybersecurity policies and controls, in line with relevant frameworks (e.g. Cyber Essentials).

• Maintain and develop an asset register, acceptable use policies, access controls, and incident response procedures.

• Proactively identify and mitigate IT and security risks as the organisation grows, including preparing for future infrastructure needs.

• Coordinate internal roll out and learning around AI tools.

Compliance & Governance Support

• Maintain and update internal policies in coordination with the Director of Operations, People Operations Manager and relevant leads.

• Support the People Operations Manager with HR-adjacent compliance requirements where appropriate (e.g. right to work checks, DBS, data handling).

• Support organisational compliance activities, including data protection (UK GDPR) and any sector-or donor-specific regulatory requirements.

• Assist in preparing for and managing external audits, accreditations, and due diligence processes.

Office & Administrative Operations

• Oversee the smooth day-to-day running of office operations, including facilities management, supplier relationships, and procurement.

• Manage relationships with key operational suppliers and service providers, reviewing contracts and ensuring value for money.

• Provide flexible administrative support to the Director of Operations and wider Operations Unit as needed, with a can-do approach to varied tasks.

• Support the planning and logistics of internal events, offsites, and all-staff meetings.

• Provide flexible operational support to the Risk Management Unit (0.5 days per week)

Organisational Development

• Contribute to scaling the organisation's operational capabilities as headcount grows, including helping to onboard new staff, implement new tools, and embed operational best practice.

• Play an active role in fostering a well-organised, collaborative, and mission-aligned working culture.

• Any other tasks as reasonably requested by your line manager.

Person Specification

Essential

• Proven track record in an operations, project management, or business management role.

• Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously and deliver to deadlines.

• Experience supporting compliance or governance functions, including working knowledge of UK GDPR and data protection practice.

• Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills, with a systematic approach to documentation and process management.

• A self-starter mentality — comfortable with ambiguity, able to take initiative, and happy to roll up their sleeves on both strategic and administrative tasks.

• High agency and a proactive, ownership-driven approach — you follow through on commitments, adapt quickly, and don't wait to be told what needs doing.

• Excellent interpersonal skills, able to communicate clearly, kindly and directly — giving and receiving feedback openly, and building strong relationships across teams and with external partners.

• A genuine commitment to CLTR's mission and an understanding that getting the operations right is what enables high-impact work to land.

• Eligible to work in the UK. Unfortunately we are unable to sponsor visas for this role. 

Desirable

• Experience working in a not-for-profit, think tank, research organisation, or similarly mission-driven environment.

• A calm and solution-focused approach under pressure, with flexibility and agility when priorities shift.

• Ability to handle highly sensitive information discreetly and professionally.

Fundraising Manager

Organisation: The Outrunners Charity

Job Description

• Job title: Fundraising Manager

• Location: Hackney Bridge, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London (a canalside public destination less than five minutes from Hackney Wick station) 

• Salary: £36,700-£40,000 FTE depending on experience, pro rata to £22,000-£24,000 

• Hours: 0.6 FTE (3 days/21 hours per week). Office hours are 10am - 6pm with occasional evenings and weekends. Flexible working opportunities are available. 

Who are The Outrunners?

The Outrunners are a running and movement charity based in Hackney, on a mission to empower young people through movement. Backed by an incredible crew of volunteers and partner brands like Nike and Moju, we help young people in East London to build confidence, wellbeing, health and leadership skills.

We deliver free, fun, sociable, youth‑led running and movement sessions for 8–18 year olds every week - during term time and holidays. But we’re about more than just running. We create space for young people to explore creativity and culture, go on exciting trips, access wraparound wellbeing support, and develop the skills and opportunities they need to shape the futures they want.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported thousands of young people and helped push greater diversity within the running world.

We like to do things differently - taking young people out of their everyday environments and into exciting new spaces, opening doors to opportunities they might not otherwise have access to. If that sounds like something you want to be part of… read on.

Our achievements

We’re a small charity but we pack a mighty punch. Our income has grown year-on-year since we became a charity 6 years ago -  allowing us to expand our core team and move into office premises large enough to incorporate a Youth Hub. Last year we worked with over 1,150 young people through our school and communities programs, and this year we’re looking to expand our work even further!

To give you a sense of the kinds of work that we do, over the last year we have:

• Hosted a free Girls’ Festival for 100+ ethnically diverse young girls, allowing them to try running sessions, creative classes and yoga experiences in a safe and empowering environment.

• Hosted free training academies for ethnically diverse women and young people aged 16-21 to train for their very first half or full marathons! We offered physical, emotional and logistical support throughout their training journey and cheered on every single one of them as they ran either the Hackney Half or the London Marathon under the Outrunners name. Since programme launch, we have worked with over 250 people in our Academies.

• Took diverse groups of young people to races and events, such as Hackney School run and Black to the Trails. 

• Offered personalised mentoring to several of our young people who were struggling with school or life.

• Expanded the career horizons of young people by offering them a free work experience opportunity with our partner brands.

What do we want?

We are seeking an experienced fundraiser for a strategic and hands-on role who loves working in a small, ambitious charity and wants to help shape the next stage of growth at The Outrunners (current annual income circa £350k).

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead on income generation, with a primary focus on trusts and foundations, while growing a more diverse and sustainable income mix through corporate partnerships, community fundraising and individual giving.

You will translate the lived experiences, energy and impact of our young people and programmes into compelling funding propositions.

• Collaborative and positive team player, comfortable working in a small, fast‑moving organisation.
