About the role
Crisis has laid out a vision, that by 2035 we will see all forms of homelessness in decline. We will bring about this impact through our three organisational aims, by:
· Securing the policies that solve homelessness
· Delivering services that end homelessness for people and places
· Building a community of people across Britain that are helping to end homelessness
To manage this bold ambition, we are planning in three-year cycles. Our current 2025-28 strategic plan outlines our key priorities – alongside national influencing, place-based system change, direct service delivery and greater audience engagement, we will become a landlord for the first time in our 60-year history.
Getting stuck into the detail, the Transformation Manager will aid delivery of our strategic programmes by enabling collaboration, providing exemplary programme management, and establishing adaptive ways of working that will shift organisational practice as we go deeper into delivering our strategy.
About you
You’re proactive and collaborative, skilled at designing and initiating ways of working that motivate colleagues to galvanise around programme goals.

We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.

Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.
Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.

About the role
At the Motability Foundation, we fund, support, research and innovate so that all disabled people can make the journeys they choose.
We’re building a Transport Solutions Team that can work flexibly across all the tools in our delivery kit – from grants and innovation pilots to research, partnerships, and commercial interventions. This includes a growing portfolio of projects tackling key challenges like inclusive EV charging, complex community transport funding opportunities, and large-scale research such as the National Centre for Accessible Transport.
We are now recruiting four Transport Solutions Managers to help design and deliver high-impact work across this portfolio. These are pivotal roles that combine subject expertise, delivery capability, and leadership and are designed to work flexibly across our matrix structure.
Some roles will focus more on funding: exploring new funding mechanisms and managing end-to-end development and delivery of funding opportunities and a team of grant managers. Others will focus more on direct delivery: leading projects, partnerships or research commissions. But all Transport Solutions Managers will be encouraged to develop and contribute across both areas.
We’re looking for people who bring either or both of these skillsets to the role and who are keen to grow their expertise across the range of tools we use. Whether your background is in grant-making, innovation, systems thinking, or programme delivery, we want to hear from you.
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, purpose-led team driving change in the transport system for disabled people and to work on some of the most interesting and impactful projects in the sector.
What you’ll be doing
-
Lead the design and delivery of impactful projects or funding opportunities, working closely with Programme Directors and colleagues across the Transport Solutions Team.
-
Manage end-to-end delivery of specific initiatives – this could include grants, pilots, commissioned projects, partnerships or other tools – ensuring they are well scoped and aligned to our strategic priorities.
-
Use insight, evidence, and stakeholder engagement to shape the approach to new work, including scoping documents, funding criteria, business cases, and delivery plans.
-
Work flexibly across our matrix team, contributing to projects or funding rounds outside your own portfolio as needed, and supporting colleagues with specialist input or delivery resource.
-
Build and maintain relationships with external stakeholders, including charities, researchers, delivery partners and commercial organisations.
-
Manage delivery, budgets, due diligence, risks and outcomes for projects or funding opportunities, ensuring appropriate governance and reporting is in place.
-
Collaborate across teams including Impact & Evaluation, Finance, and Communications to ensure high-quality delivery, learning and visibility of our work.
-
Bring and apply knowledge in key areas such as accessible transport, disability, inclusive innovation, grant-making or systems change.
-
Support the development and continuous improvement of our delivery models, funding mechanisms and ways of working.
Your experience
Must haves:
-
Experience managing projects or funding opportunities from inception through to delivery, including planning, delivery, and monitoring, ideally across teams and with external partners or suppliers.
-
Ability to scope and deliver initiatives or funding opportunities using evidence, insight, and engagement with disabled people and other key stakeholders.
-
Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple, complex workstreams to deadlines in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
-
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively across diverse stakeholder groups.
-
Strong data and analysis skills, including the ability to synthesise qualitative and quantitative insight to inform decision-making and strategy.
-
High IT literacy, including confident use of Microsoft Office (especially Excel and PowerPoint).
-
A collaborative and flexible working style, with experience contributing to cross-team initiatives or matrix working.
Nice to haves:
-
Understanding of disability and transport issues, such as the social model of disability, transport barriers, key legislation etc.
-
Experience delivering or managing grant programmes, innovation pilots, research projects, or cross-sector partnerships.
-
Familiarity with innovation or funding mechanisms such as challenge prizes, agile funding rounds, co-design, systems mapping, or commissioning frameworks.
-
Experience of working in or alongside government, industry, or the not-for-profit sector.
-
Experience supporting or line managing others in a team or project context.
We are building a future where all disabled people have the transport options to make the journeys they choose.
