Management Jobs
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the role of F100 Project Manager for the Black Equity Organisation, Sky Future 100 Programme. BEO has recently launched in 2022, and our mission is to dismantle systemic racism in the UK.
We are looking for an ambitious, experienced and talented Project manager who possesses the entrepreneurial experience needed to play a key part in ensuring our £1m BEO and Sky partnership for Black entrepreneurs to launch and grow their own businesses in the UK is an unmitigated success - could that be you?

The programme will also create a vital and tight[1]knit community of Black British entrepreneurs, with valuable, regular opportunities to network and share experiences, successes and challenges.
We are looking for someone with a track record of managing accelerators, who has extensive project management experience and who understands the mindset of a Black start up entrepreneur. You will be able to interface effortlessly with potential investors and others who offer support to Black talent who face huge barriers to investment, and human capital.
You will be a strong team player with the ability to establish strong relationships, manage complex programmes, identify and manage risks and also manage budgets.

We want to eradicate the key drivers behind race-based wealth in-equality in the UK within a generation, and we are actively working in close partnership with a range of actors to make that vision a reality.
In return we offer flexible, hybrid working from day one, a 5% employer pension contribution, a generous leave, maternity and parental leave package together with a strong focus on wellbeing and the chance to be part of the task of dismantling structural racism.

About us
Transparency International is a global movement sharing one vision: a world in which government politics, business and the daily lives of people are free of corruption. Transparency International UK is the UK national chapter of this movement. We work with the British government, parliamentarians, civil society and the private sector to tackle corruption at home, addressing the UK’s global corruption footprint and helping multinational companies prevent corruption by operating with integrity. We are also home to two major global programmes tackling corruption in the Defence and Security sector and Global Health on behalf of the wider Transparency International movement.
The UK Programme seeks to put an end to corruption in the UK and the role of the UK in facilitating corruption abroad. We expose and tackle corruption and hold power to account here in the UK through robust research, investigations and advocacy. To do that we need to understand the way corruption works and the systems that enable it.
Our work has already been key to delivering:
- Four major pieces of Economic Crime legislation making it harder for dirty money to find its way to the UK
- The introduction of a register to reveal the true owners of foreign companies owning property in the UK
- The Bribery Act - regarded as the toughest piece of legislation of its kind.
- Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) – an investigative tool to help law enforcement act on corrupt assets.
- Promised reforms to lobbying transparency and regulation of post-political appointments.
We work with the UK and devolved governments, the private sector and civil society to create a UK free from corruption.
