Part Time Finance and Operations Manager

Prospectus is delighted to be supporting one of the UK's largest international grant makers as they look to appoint a new Finance and Operations Manager into their small team. This is a permanent part time position offered 24 hours per week over 3 to 5 days. This role will be hybrid with a minimum of 1 day per week in their office in Borough.

The foundation was established in 2005 by John Stone and his wife, Vanessa, following the sale of the business which he founded in 1991.  John, an entrepreneur with a successful 40-year career in financial services, is the Chair of the Foundation.  The foundation is proud to have an approach which is radically different to that of many other charities and foundations.  Inspired by John’s experience and expertise in the world of business and financial services, our vision is to be a pioneering, innovative and disruptive influence, constantly in search of new and better ways to solve entrenched problems. Their main focus areas are as follows:
 

• Water to the home in Africa and Asia, with a specific focus on enterprises and the transformational role market-based solutions can play in this sector. Around 80% of our funding is committed to water.
• Two UK portfolios; mental health, and disadvantaged youth. Together, these portfolios account for roughly 20% of the Foundation’s funding.

As the Finance and Operations Manager, you will have oversight of all aspects of finance and operations, enabling the day-to-day running of the Foundation, including finance, budgets data management, the CRM function, office management, HR, and IT.  You will develop and maintain effective relationships with suppliers, trustees, team members and beneficiaries, to ensure the Foundation always operates efficiently.

The successful candidate will experience of leading operations within a small organisation, with experience of using finance and CRM systems. You will be an engaged and supporting member of staff, willing to support the team in any and all operational matters. You will have excellent communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders across all seniority levels. Finally, an appreciation of the work the foundation delivers on and enthusiasm for this work is encouraged.
