The Environmental Funders Network (EFN) is a community of funders, philanthropy advisers, and fundraisers working together to transform environmental philanthropy and support more impactful funding for the environment in the UK and around the world. Through its research, networks, convening and programmes, EFN helps the environmental funding community to learn, connect and act effectively together, strengthening collaboration and increasing the scale and impact of environmental funding.
EFN is now seeking a new Executive Director at an important moment. Environmental philanthropy has grown significantly, creating a larger and more diverse funding community and real opportunities for greater impact. At the same time, environmental action and those who fund it are operating in an increasingly complex and contested political and public environment. As EFN finalises its next strategy and turns to implementation, there is an opportunity to become more intentional about where it can add greatest value, sharpen its priorities and strengthen how it understands and demonstrates the outcomes and longer-term impact of its work.
The Executive Director will provide strategic and organisational leadership, working closely with the Board and a talented multidisciplinary team (13 staff representing 9.3 FTE) to translate EFN's strategy into focused action. They will provide clear and confident internal leadership, setting priorities, making thoughtful decisions and creating the conditions for the team to thrive, while strengthening EFN's financial sustainability and organisational resilience. They will foster a culture of reflection, learning and improvement, ensuring evidence and insight inform EFN's priorities and programmes.
Externally, the Executive Director will be a compelling ambassador and outstanding relationship-builder, able to build trust across a diverse community – from major international foundations to smaller funders, philanthropy advisers, fundraisers and NGO leaders. They will attend daytime and evening events regularly in London and periodically around the country and will bring the environmental literacy and political awareness to understand the changing context in which funders are operating, using EFN's distinctive role as a connector to build relationships, share knowledge and enable collaboration and collective action.
The ideal candidate will bring strategic leadership experience and can turn vision into focused delivery. They will be a skilled relationship-builder - able to listen, convene, influence and galvanise a diverse community around a shared purpose - low-ego and collaborative in approach. The successful candidate will have led and developed high-performing teams with an inclusive culture, embedding a genuine commitment to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. You will combine strong organisational, financial and governance skills with an entrepreneurial mindset, and have experience generating income and building sustainable partnerships. Experience within philanthropy, foundations or membership networks is highly valuable but not essential.
Above all, EFN is looking for someone with a genuine passion for environmental and social change, who understands the interconnectedness of today's environmental challenges and is excited by EFN's distinctive role: helping funders and fundraisers learn from one another, strengthening collaboration, and increasing the impact of environmental philanthropy.
This is an exceptional opportunity to lead an influential network at a formative point in its development, helping EFN give the environmental funding community the knowledge, networks and agency to learn from one another, collaborate more effectively and increase the impact of environmental philanthropy.

Responsible to: CEO
Contract type: Full Time (37 hours per week), Permanent
Closing date: 18th September, Midday
Who we are
Futures for All (formerly Speakers for Schools) is a UK charity founded in 2010 to tackle educational and social mobility inequality, connecting state-educated young people with inspirational speakers and high-quality work experience. Since its founding, the charity has supported almost two million young people, working with a national network of schools, colleges and employer partners to level the playing field for young people who are educated in the state sector, with those that attend the best fee-paying schools. Having grown from its original speaker programme into a broader work experience offer, the charity is now the largest provider of work experience in the UK, with ambitious plans to ensure all young people have access to the workplace, whilst at school.
Role Summary
This is a genuine opportunity to contribute first-hand to the strategic running of a national charity, with close visibility of how the organisation is led and governed. You will be trusted with sensitive information, exposed to strategic decision-making, and given the chance to shape how the CEO's office and the wider senior leadership team (SLT) operate day to day.
Beyond the traditional diary, travel and correspondence duties, you will play an active part in the mechanics of governance and decision-making- supporting board meetings, tracking actions to completion, and ensuring that what lands on the CEO's desk is accurate, well-presented and ready to act on. You will also work closely with the newly appointed Project Management Office (PMO) Lead, helping ensure that updates on risks, issues and KPI tracking reach the CEO promptly and in a digestible form, so that the CEO's time and attention are focused where they are needed most. It is an ideal role for an experienced EA or Personal Assistant who wants more ownership, more variety, and closer involvement in the strategic life of an organisation than a traditional support role typically offers.
This role offers direct exposure to the strategic and governance rhythm of the organisation- from board papers to senior stakeholder meetings- for someone who wants their EA experience to build towards broader organisational and governance expertise.
Key Duties / Responsibilities
Supporting the CEO:
- Proactively manage the CEO's diary, resolving clashes and prioritising competing demands on their time in line with organisational priorities.
- Act as a first point of contact for the CEO, screening and triaging correspondence, calls and requests, and responding or redirecting where appropriate.

Diary, Travel & Logistics:
- Coordinate complex diaries across multiple stakeholders, both internal and external, including scheduling and rearranging meetings at short notice.

- Prepare itineraries and briefing packs ahead of trips, meetings and events, ensuring the CEO is fully prepared.
- Process expenses and invoices relating to the CEO's activity in line with company policy.
Meetings, Minutes & Action Tracking:
- Attend meetings chaired by or involving the CEO to take accurate, concise minutes and notes, distinguishing decisions from discussion.
- Maintain a live action log across meetings, proactively chasing owners and reporting progress back to the CEO so nothing is missed.
- Organise logistics for meetings and away days, including rooms, catering, materials and technology.
- Work closely with the Project Management Office (PMO) Lead to ensure that risk, issue and KPI updates are routed to the CEO promptly and in a clear, digestible format, helping the CEO focus attention where it is most needed.
- Liaise with the PMO Lead on scheduling and papers for any meetings that bring project or programme updates to the CEO, ensuring consistency with the wider action and decision tracking maintained for the CEO's office.
Board & Governance Support:
- Support the coordination of board and committee meetings, including scheduling, collating and distributing papers to agreed deadlines.
- Take and produce minutes for board and committee meetings, working closely with the CEO (and Chair/Company Secretary, where applicable) on accuracy and follow-up.
- Maintain a board actions and decisions tracker, and support the CEO in preparing for board cycles.
- Maintain confidentiality and good document control over board papers, minutes and related governance records.
Document & Presentation Production:
- Produce first drafts of documents, reports, briefings and PowerPoint presentations for the CEO to review, amend and finalise.
- Format and polish documents and slide decks to a professional, consistent, on-brand standard.
- Review documents and correspondence prepared by others before they reach the CEO, checking for accuracy, clarity, tone and fitness for purpose, and flagging any concerns.
Support to the Senior Leadership Team:
- Provide reasonable and proportionate admin support to other members of the SLT, prioritised in agreement with the CEO.
- Minute meetings with senior internal and external stakeholders on behalf of SLT members, as required.
- Assist with occasional diary, travel or document support for the SLT where this does not conflict with the needs of the CEO.
Office & General:
- Maintain efficient filing, contact and information systems for the CEO's office.
- Handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion and sound judgement at all times.
- Undertake other duties reasonably commensurate with the role, as required by the CEO.
Skills / Experience / Knowledge:
Essential:
- Significant experience as an EA, PA or senior administrator supporting a CEO, director or other senior executive.
- Experience taking minutes and tracking actions for senior-level or board/committee meetings.
- Excellent written English, with the ability to draft clear, well-structured documents, correspondence and presentations.
- Expert in using common business software/ applications such as Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple, competing priorities under time pressure.
- Sound judgement and discretion when handling confidential or sensitive information.
- A proactive, solutions-focused approach, comfortable using initiative rather than waiting to be asked.
- Excellent interpersonal skills, with the confidence and professionalism to liaise with senior stakeholders, board members and external contacts.
- Flexibility to travel to, and work from, the London office on a regular (weekly) basis, with occasional flexibility around hours for travel, events or board meetings.
Desirable:
- Experience supporting board or governance processes (e.g. in a charity, membership body, or regulated organisation).
- A relevant qualification (e.g. in business administration or executive PA practice), though experience will be weighted more heavily than formal qualification.
- Confident and effective use of AI tools (e.g. Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to support drafting, summarising and formatting work- for example, producing first-draft documents, presentations or minutes for review, while applying good judgement on accuracy, confidentiality and when human review and rewriting is needed.
- Experience providing ad hoc support across a wider senior team, not just a single executive.
Behaviours and Style:
- Calm and unflappable under pressure, with good humour and resilience.
- Trustworthy and discreet, with a strong sense of confidentiality.
- A genuine interest in the wider organisation and how it operates, not just the transactional tasks of the role.
- Collaborative- happy to support colleagues across the SLT while keeping the CEO's priorities front and centre.

Chief Executive
Transplant Links
£75,000 FTE
Remote, UK based
This is an opportunity to lead a small, specialist organisation with international reach and tangible human impact. Working with a committed staff team and an exceptional network of NHS clinical volunteers, you will build on strong foundations while helping Transplant Links become more ambitious, sustainable and influential.

This is a genuinely hands-on CEO role. We are looking for someone who thrives in a small, entrepreneurial organisation and is comfortable moving between the strategic and practical. You might be working with Trustees on future direction, developing a funding relationship, building an international partnership or helping colleagues resolve an operational challenge. You will enjoy being close to the work, taking ownership and making things happen.
You may already be a CEO or be a senior leader ready to take that step. More important than title is your ability to combine strategic judgement, strong relationship-building and an entrepreneurial approach. You will bring leadership experience alongside a demonstrable ability to generate income, develop partnerships and make a compelling case for support.
You do not need to be a clinician, but you will need the curiosity and credibility to work effectively with medical professionals and international partners, and respect for the expertise and voluntary contribution on which our work depends. Above all, we are looking for someone who is ambitious for our impact rather than the size of the organisation, a collaborative, resourceful and resilient leader who can see what is possible and help us make it happen.
