About the Youth Endowment Fund

We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence.

We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.

In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.

The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding what works

and working for change - scaling and spreading the practices that make a difference.

One of the most important things we do is make sure our commissioning and procurement processes run smoothly and efficiently. We manage complex grant agreements and partnerships that support projects designed to create real impact. To do this well, we need accurate data, clear processes and strong coordination across teams and partners. The Delivery Operations Manager role is critical to making that happen. Reporting to the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager, you’ll be the central point for operational delivery; drafting and managing grant agreements, maintaining data integrity in Salesforce and ensuring payments and requirements are processed correctly.

You’ll onboard partners, resolve issues quickly and keep everything organised so our teams can focus on delivering change. By supporting operations and improvements, you’ll help us maximise the impact of every pound we invest.

Key Responsibilities

Your role would be essential to keeping our commissioning and procurement processes running smoothly and efficiently. By ensuring consistency, accuracy and timely communication, you’ll help our teams work brilliantly and enable the organisation to deliver funding that makes a real difference. A detailed list of your key responsibilities on how you’ll do this is given below:

Manage grant agreements and contract administration in response to the needs of each team:

o Draft, prepare and execute initial grant agreements and subsequent variations, using Adobe e-Sign where required.

o Accurately input and maintain all project data in Salesforce, including requirements, financial commitments, payment schedules and supporting documents.

o Process adjustments to grant commitments, payment schedules and requirements promptly and accurately.

o Conduct regular data accuracy spot checks in Salesforce to maintain data integrity.

Coordinate grantees and partners

o Onboarding new grantees, evaluators and researchers onto our designated community platform when they are approved by each team.

o Act as a main point of contact for Programmes, Evaluation, Change and Evidence teams to resolve payment approval issues and discrepancies when they come up.

o Chase external partners for outstanding invoices and ensure timely resolution of payment-related queries.

Provide directorate-specific support

o For the Programmes team: Manage the team inbox, allocate new

applications to assessors, set up interviews and provide GEM administrative support when required.

o For the Evaluation team: Maintain an evaluation report tracking system to monitor deadlines and ensure timely submissions.

o Ensure data archiving is completed and shared with ONS/DfE as required.

Support process improvements and system integrity

o Assist the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager and Assistant Director of Finance and Operations in implementing improvements to commissioning and procurement processes.

o Provide backup technical support for Salesforce during periods when the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager is unavailable or requires assistance.

o Identify and suggest process enhancements to drive efficiency and consistency across commissioning operations.

Enable effective communication and reporting

o Serve as the main point of contact for initial commissioning and procurement requests when they arise, ensuring streamlined processes and avoiding duplication.

o Provide timely responses and clear communication to internal teams to improve stakeholder experience.

o Keep senior leadership informed with forward plans, dashboards and progress updates to support better strategic decisions.

A role with real impact.

As our Senior EA to the CEO and Board Governance Lead, you will be a trusted partner in enabling strong leadership. You will help ensure the CEO’s time is protected for strategic work, governance remains robust, and organisation-wide priorities move forward with confidence and coordination.

This is far more than a traditional EA role. It is a strategic, trusted position supporting the CEO, Board of Trustees, Development Board and senior leaders to operate effectively, make well‑informed decisions, and uphold the highest standards of governance and organisational integrity.

You will make a direct impact by ensuring:

• The CEO is consistently prepared, focused and supported
• Board and Committee governance and meetings are well planned, compliant and professionally delivered
• Actions are recorded and followed up and escalated as appropriate
• Trustees, staff, and stakeholders have the information and clarity they need
• Systems, processes, and communication stay strong across the organisation
• Every decision is more informed, every action more purposeful

Are you looking for a role where your insight, strong organisation, governance expertise, and calm authority help power change with real purpose? At Embrace the Middle East, this is exactly the opportunity we offer.

We are seeking someone with:

• Proven experience supporting a CEO or senior leader in a high‑demand role
• Experience coordinating Board or committee governance, including agendas, papers, minute‑taking and action tracking
• Strong judgement, confidentiality and upward management skills
• Advanced Microsoft 365 skills (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneNote, PowerPoint, Excel)
• Exceptional organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A proactive, anticipatory working style with the confidence to influence senior stakeholders
• Experience advising on governance processes and best practice
• The ability to build clear, reliable systems and workflows across teams

A full list of essential and desirable criteria can be found in the job pack.

We are driven by a deep commitment to dignity, justice and compassionate partnership. As a Christian development charity, we work alongside local Christian organisations across the Middle East to help transform the lives of those who are vulnerable, marginalised or living in poverty. These partnerships rely on strong governance, effective systems and confident leadership - all of which this role directly supports.

If you are motivated by purpose, excel under pressure, and thrive in a role where precision and people‑focused service come together - we would love to hear from you.

As a Christian organisation, this role requires commitment to the mission, vision and values of Embrace the Middle East, either as a practising Christian or as someone supportive of and sympathetic to our faith‑based ethos. The role includes participation in internal prayer meetings, reflective gatherings and occasional Christian fellowship activities.
