Are you a strategic, solutions-focused leader who is driven by justice, equality and committed to creating a fairer world for women and girls?

The JABBS Foundation for Women and Girls is looking for an exceptional Director of Operations to strengthen the organisation's operational backbone at a pivotal moment of growth. This is a senior, high-impact role in a small but mighty team - perfect for someone who thrives on building systems that unlock lasting change and who brings a genuine passion for continuous improvement.

Salary: £80k
Contract: Permanent, full-time (35 hours per week)
Location: Hybrid with 3 days per week in the Birmingham office and occasional national travel
Benefits: 25 days holiday (+bank) and generous employer pension contribution, plus learning and development budget

About the organisation
JABBS is dedicated to building a fairer, more just society for women and girls. Through strategic grant-making, partnerships and advocacy, the organisation addresses the root causes that draw women into the criminal justice system - from poverty and abuse to health inequalities. Their approach is grounded in collaboration, fostering lasting relationships with those driving change across policy, practice, and communities.

The Foundation is entering an exciting new phase of work as it strengthens its operations, expands national partnerships and accelerates its impact across policy, practice and communities. Joining JABBS means becoming part of a values-led team influencing long-term reform in the women's centre sector, early help models and the wider criminal justice system.

About the role
As Director of Operations, you will be the senior operational lead for the organisation, working closely with the CEO and programme leads to deliver strategic, reliable and high-quality operations.

You'll oversee the full suite of operational functions and strengthen infrastructure - from governance and grant-making processes to HR, finance, IT, risk and compliance - ensuring that robust, values-driven operations underpin everything JABBS does.

In this role you can expect to:
* Lead and deliver the Foundation's multi-year operational workplan
* Translate strategy into effective, measurable operational delivery
* Ensure strong governance, including board papers and risk management
* Oversee budgeting, financial processes, grant-making systems and compliance
* Lead HR and people operations, including recruitment and workforce planning
* Strengthen and maintain policies, systems, and supplier/office management

This role will suit someone who loves switching between big-picture thinking and rolling up their sleeves - you must be confident and energised by both.

About you
You are an experienced operational leader who is: strategic, collaborative, pragmatic and exceptionally organised.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:
* A proven track record of designing and delivering robust operational systems
* Significant operation leadership experience at a senior level
* Strong financial literacy and experience managing budgets and audit processes
* A track record of overseeing or designing grant-making or funding operations
* Hands-on HR/people operations experience
* Excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills
* Confidence working with trustees, partners and senior leaders
* A meticulous eye for detail and a proactive, problem-solving approach
* Authentic commitment to gender equality and JABBS' mission

We'd also love to see your alignment with JABBS' values: Justice-Centred, Integrity-Driven, Curious, Collaborative, Relational and Determined.

In return, you'll join a supportive, values-led team and play a central role in shaping the next chapter of JABBS' impact.

Use your finance skills to support Feba’s mission and growth strategy to inspire more of the world’s least reached people to follow Jesus.

About us

At Feba, we are passionate about God’s mission and the creative use of radio and audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in contexts considered closed, where people might not hear the gospel by any other means or where it’s difficult to be a Christian. These people probably won’t be reached without us, and radio and audio media provide a way of reaching them at scale.

About our development

Since we were established 65 years ago as a shortwave radio ministry much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.

We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local people with training, expertise and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in a listener’s ‘heart language’ - and to follow up in-person wherever possible.

Our locally-led approach, in line with best-practice in Christian mission, is having greater and more enduring impact, and has enabled our work to expand far beyond our original focus on South Asia to countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

About the role

Feba now seeks a Head of Finance and Financial Strategy to provide financial leadership and forward-thinking strategic input at a time of stability, financial strength and planned growth. This role will lead on reviewing and modernising financial processes and systems, developing and delivering strategic initiatives for good financial stewardship, planning new income-generation projects and helping to strengthen long-term financial sustainability beyond the next 10 years.

About you

We are seeking a strategically minded finance leader to bring new skills, rigour and energy to the management and oversight of our finances. You will bring knowledge of investment principles, strong technical accounting expertise, and a clear understanding of modern, effective financial systems and processes. You will be a committed follower of Christ and passionate about global mission.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached.

Closing date 3rd December.
