We wish to recruit a dynamic, driven and inspiring leader to be jointly responsible (alongside the Director of Family Services) for providing strategic vision and day to day management of SNAP.  This is a key role in ensuring SNAP has the capacity to continue to provide support to our families due to its strong financial management, broad ranging fundraising activities and effective governance.

You will join our core team of 21 dedicated professionals who work alongside external specialists and a large team of volunteers to ensure our families get the support they deserve.

Who we are and what we do

We could spend days telling you how phenomenal we are but it would be best if you looked at our website to see who we are, what we do and the impact we have.

By way of a short introduction SNAP (Special Needs and Parents) is a Brentwood based organisation that supports Essex families who have children, aged 0-25, with any special need or disability. We aim to inform, encourage and support parents so that they can grow in strength and knowledge and become better equipped to give the best possible help to their children. Over the past 27 years (supporting 5523 families) we have gained an in-depth understanding of the everyday demands encountered when a child has an additional need or disability. At the heart of our work we aim to help and empower the whole family, enabling them to meet the challenges they face by providing a safe environment which offers a wide range of support and specialist services.

In these uncertain times, despite the insecurity and fearfulness of COVID-19 SNAP has found ways to remain a key point of contact and support for families. The switch to remote working enabled us to be there for our families; at the end of the phone and via zoom.  We have been able to continue to offer music therapy, yoga, parent training sessions, counselling, drama and even several virtual fundraising events during this period, whilst dealing with 3,331 Helpline calls and emails from existing and new families, proving how vital SNAP’s work is.

The role and its responsibilities

As a member of the senior leadership team you will work closely with the Board of Trustees and the Director of Family Services to nurture the culture, strategy, systems and structure within SNAP to ensure it continues to deliver outstanding services that support our families.

This is a unique role where you will have the opportunity to create and implement a forward-looking visionary strategy to support the aims and objectives of SNAP. Always looking at the bigger picture, you will be a central figure in the success of SNAP over the coming years.

The actual role is varied but in summary the successful candidate will work closely with the Treasurer and be responsible for:

• Leading the finance team in maintaining strong financial and budgetary management controls.
• Producing regular management accounting, cash flow reports, forecasting and financial analysis to ensure SNAP has the strong sustainable foundations that underpin work with our families.
• Strategic management of our Fundraising and Marketing team that encompasses all corporate and community fundraising alongside our statutory and grants application team.
• Managing our HR, IT and facilities management functions to ensure best practice in all operational and administrative areas.

What can you offer SNAP?

The successful candidate will be an experienced leader who can demonstrate their commercial and financial acumen balanced alongside the desired outcomes that drive a successful charity.

Are you:

• An inspiring leader, with a strong collaborative approach that fosters participation and “buy-in”
• An individual who has a proven track record in a senior commercial management role, preferably from a charity or a not for profit organisation
• Someone who is familiar with Charity Commission Guidance and Regulations for best practice Governance and confident in implementing these for everyday use
• Someone who can demonstrate their extensive financial management experience in both hands-on and strategic roles
• An individual who has experience of complex funding applications to statutory authorities and to charitable foundations for grants
• A forward looking visionary who questions, challenges and continually strives to optimise resources to achieve day to day goals
• Someone who has experience of representing an organisation at senior level with statutory bodies, key stakeholders, high profile funders and the local business community.
• Confident in your communication style and ability to deliver compelling and eloquent presentations aligned to an organisation’s strategy and objectives
• A team builder, who nurtures, develops and unleashes the full potential of your team
• An ambitious individual with a desire for personal development with the potential to take on more senior Director level duties.

Corporate Engagement Manager, The Good Food Institute Europe

Engage Businesses to Build a Sustainable, Healthy and Just Food System 

Industrial animal agriculture is at the root of many of the most pressing global issues of our time, from climate change and global hunger, to increased disease risk and poor animal welfare.

The Good Food Institute Europe (GFI Europe) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology to replace the products of industrial animal agriculture with plant-based, fermentation-derived and cultivated meat, eggs, dairy, and seafood. Please check out our U.S. affiliate’s website (gfi [dot] org) and read the 2019 Year in Review (gfi [dot] org/2019, in particular pages 10-11 on our Corporate Engagement work), to find out more about who we are and what we do.

We are at an exciting stage in our growth and are looking for a Corporate Engagement Manager to join our team. For more information about this role, please take a look at the job brochure here: shorturl.at/kmsxH.

How You Will Make a Difference
While many excellent alternative protein products and companies already exist, they still comprise a small percentage of the market share of conventional meat, eggs, dairy, and seafood. The Corporate Engagement Manager will drive action to accelerate the growth of the alternative proteins sector in Europe.

You will focus on building relationships with major established companies, influencing them to invest in alternative proteins, stock more alternative protein products, and create new products in this space. As well as engaging with individual decision makers, including senior executives at C-suite level, you will also help to catalyse the sector at the ecosystem level. You could also explore the potential for engaging with entrepreneurs, startups and investors, if this proves to be a strategic area for maximum mission-impact.

As the first Corporate Engagement hire in our growing European team, you will help radically transform the food system by:

• Setting the strategy for GFI Europe’s corporate engagement work, identifying and pursuing the top priorities for impact.
• Managing and delivering all aspects of GFI Europe’s corporate engagement work, and potentially leading a team of specialists in the future.
• Building relationships with established companies (including food manufacturers, co-manufacturers, ingredient companies, and life science companies), influencing them to invest in alternative proteins, produce and stock more and higher-quality alternative protein products, and create new products.
• Potentially also building relationships with other stakeholders, as and when this is strategic for mission-impact. These could include priority grocery stores, restaurants, and foodservice establishments, investors and financial institutions, entrepreneurs and start-ups.
• Acting as a liaison and ‘connector’ between European stakeholders, GFI’s US-based Corporate Engagement team, other GFI global staff, and our broader network.
• Potentially coordinating the creation of resources to help champion the alternative protein sector - for example, databases of investors/companies/ingredients, or ‘manuals’/guides for start-ups.
• Overseeing the generation of new consumer and market research data by contracting external firms, as needed.
• Building communities and coalitions of organisations to champion the alternative protein ecosystem, for example, by bringing together consortia to apply for grant funding..
• Preparing and delivering influential presentations to key corporate decision-makers.
• Being a thought leader by speaking at conferences, webinars etc.
• Performing other duties as required, as a member of our small, growing team.

Who We’re Looking For
You must have:

• A passion for GFI’s philosophy and mission.
• Significant relevant experience, for example in business, management consulting, corporate affairs/management/engagement, brand/product marketing, investment, venture capital, start-ups, food industry sales, or other relevant area.
• Excellent people-skills: the ability to influence, network, and build alliances.
• The ability, confidence and authority to engage with corporate executives, build long-term relationships with them, and to persuade and influence decision-makers.
• Strong team spirit and open and collaborative instincts: you will be working closely with colleagues in our US Corporate Engagement team and around the world.
• Excellent written and oral communication, public speaking and presentation skills.
• Strong strategic ability.
• A can-do approach: a self-starter with the drive and initiative to take responsibility for delivering impact.
• Comfort working remotely in a rapidly-growing and evolving organisation: the ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines.
• Fluent English, both written and spoken (CEFR C2 level). We would also welcome applications from candidates who, in addition, can work in other major European languages.

We want the best people and we don’t want biases holding us back. We strongly encourage people of every colour, orientation, age, gender, origin, and ability to apply. Because we value a diverse workplace, we prioritise an inclusive climate absent of discrimination and harassment during the application process and after you join the team.

• Location: Flexible - we will consider applicants from anywhere in Europe. You will mainly be working remotely: from your home, or wherever you choose. Once the COVID situation has cleared, you and the whole GFI Europe team will get together in-person approximately once every quarter for around 3-4 days at a time, most likely in the London area or Brussels. Subject to COVID, there may also be other frequent work trips within Europe, and occasionally beyond.
• Salary: £38,000 - £50,000. This range is based on a UK hire and will be adjusted if hired elsewhere in Europe.

We are looking for four exceptional people to join us as trustees who can help ensure that we have a high performing Board during a period that we may end up looking back on as among the most crucial in our history.

We are hugely proud of the impact we have had on behalf of people affected by blood cancer. The £500 million we have invested in research over the last 60 years has saved many thousands of lives, and we are now in a position where the day we will beat blood cancer is finally in sight. But with the coronavirus crisis already having had a big impact on our income, it is more vital than ever that we have the strong strategic leadership to keep our mission to beat blood cancer on course.

As a Board, we know we need to become more diverse to better reflect the community we serve and share with us new ideas and opinions, so we would welcome approaches from the following:

• Individuals from black and ethnic minority communities.
• Younger people who may not have had previous board experience but have other experiences, for example: of committee work, associations and other team decision making experience.
• Individuals who have personally been affected by blood cancer who have the capacity to support us as a trustee
• Experience in the following fields would be of interest to us: Medical Research, Audit, and Finance.
• Individuals who have experience of information support for blood cancer patients and health policy.
• Influencers who have experience with fundraising and have celebrity or VIP connections that could be further explored.
• Members of a minority group through physical or cultural characteristics.

This is a challenging but very rewarding role and your contribution could assist the blood cancer community in a huge way.

If you would like an opportunity to make a difference and contribute in a positive way we would encourage you to apply to join us on our journey, please share with us your CV, along with a brief Cover Letter outlining your interest and how you feel you could add value to our cause.

If you would like to know more prior to applying please feel free to get in touch with Louise Keegan - Recruitment Officer at Blood Cancer UK for an informal discussion about this exciting opportunity.
