Our mission

Impact Box's mission is to transform how the social sector uses technology. We want to bring about a sector that is more impactful, efficient and data-informed. We do this by providing charities and social enterprises outstanding software solutions that address the day-to-day challenges they face. Using our knowledge and experience of the sector, we are able to provide solutions that help organisations increase their impact and deliver on their mission.

Our work falls into three main areas:

1. We deliver one-off software implementations for charities and social enterprises, often on the Salesforce platform.

2. We build tech for good products that benefit the whole sector. In 2020 we are launching Tent, a platform that allows charities to create engaging digital spaces for the people they work with at a fraction of the cost of custom development.

3. We provide ongoing support and capacity building to help organisations make best use of the software they have.

Our staff team is what makes us who we are. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, innovation and collaboration. We want to be a workplace where all ideas are taken seriously, regardless of the job title of the person presenting them. We are also fully committed to ongoing learning and development, both as an organisation and as individuals.

We are looking for someone to manage day-to-day operations and support the organisation through a significant phase of growth. As the person with overall responsibility for operations, you’ll have significant autonomy and a real opportunity to shape the organisation moving forward.

We recognise that everyone's situation is unique and are committed to eliminating as many barriers as possible to working for us. If you have particular requirements you’d like to see if we can accommodate please email us to discuss.

We will only return to the office when it is appropriate to do so and we are committed to respecting the fact that what constitutes an appropriate point to return may vary from person to person.

Responsibilities

As a growing organisation we expect this role will evolve over time to reflect both the needs of the organisation and the talents of the individual.

But equally you may have acquired these skills in an entirely different role or setting. We encourage applications from candidates with a diverse range of experiences.

Diversity and inclusion

We’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. Organisations that are diverse in age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity, and perspective are better places to work.

The process

Applications should be submitted through the online form on our website. The deadline for applications is midnight on Monday 31st August.
