About the role
We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Operations Lead to play a vital role at the heart of our organisation. This is a senior, hands-on post that combines strategic oversight with day-to-day delivery across all core operational functions - including HR, governance, IT and data, finance administration, and internal systems. You will lead the development and continuous improvement of the charity’s infrastructure, ensuring we are well-run, compliant, and set up to deliver real impact. Working closely with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team, you’ll take ownership of the systems and processes that enable our frontline work and support our future growth. The role involves both direct delivery and coordination - particularly through managing relationships with key external service providers in IT, HR, and finance. You’ll ensure these partnerships are effective, responsive, and aligned with the organisation’s needs. There may also be future opportunities to line manage an Operations Assistant or similar role, as the organisation continues to grow and develop its internal capacity. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on problem-solving, values good systems, and wants to help build a resilient and well-run organisation from the inside out.
About You
You’re an experienced operational professional who takes pride in making organisations work smoothly, efficiently, and compliantly. You have a strong track record of leading core operational functions - from HR and governance to finance processes, IT systems, and internal infrastructure - and you’re confident balancing both day-to-day delivery and strategic oversight. You understand what it means to work in a small charity: you're flexible, solutions-focused, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves when needed. But you also bring a mindset for continuous improvement - always looking for ways to strengthen systems, manage risk, and support others to do their best work. You’re confident working with external providers and partners, ensuring that outsourced support (in areas like HR, IT and finance) is well-managed and meets the needs of the organisation. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships across teams and disciplines, and take a thoughtful, values-led approach to your work. Most of all, you're motivated by the chance to contribute behind the scenes to meaningful change — ensuring that the operational foundations are in place for the charity to thrive and deliver real impact.
About Z2K
Z2K’s vision is that everyone lives a life free from poverty. We are here to end poverty for the more than 1 in 5 people in the UK who experience it.

We’re looking for a brilliant Communications & Campaigns Lead to help shape Z2K’s voice, build our brand, and drive real-world change. This is a hands-on role at the heart of a small, fearless charity that consistently punches above its weight.
From securing major media coverage to mobilising supporters and helping force two government U-turns on disability benefit cuts, our communications and campaigns are delivering real impact. With a re-brand on the horizon and a new strategy, this is a particularly exciting time to come on board.
If you’re passionate about challenging injustice through powerful storytelling and action - and want your work to make a genuine difference - we’d love to hear from you.
Why work with us?
Z2K is a bold anti-poverty charity using frontline evidence and powerful campaigns and communications to drive systemic change. We punch well above our weight - recently helping force two unprecedented government U-turns on disability benefit cuts for example. Our media voice is loud and trusted, with recent appearances on BBC News, Channel 4 News, the Today programme, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, and regular comments in the Guardian, Mirror, and The Sun.
This is a particularly exciting time to join us. We’re planning to launch a new brand, rolling out a new strategy, and growing our supporter base. We’re fearless, person-centred and unapologetically challenging. But most importantly, we’re delivering real, life-changing wins - this is your chance to be part of it.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Communications and Campaigns Lead to deliver high-impact public communications and campaigns that strengthen Z2K’s profile, influence change and support our fundraising goals.
Working closely with the Director of Policy & Engagement and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll lead the planning and delivery of engaging communications and campaign activity across digital, media and supporter channels. You will also mobilise supporters and communities for in-person actions that amplify our campaigns and deepen public engagement.
You’ll play a key role in bringing our new organisational strategy and planned rebrand to life - ensuring our external messaging reflects our values, demonstrates our impact, and helps secure the income and influence needed to deliver our mission.
A core part of the role will involve ensuring our fundraising communications are compelling and strategic, helping us build stronger relationships with supporters and funders. Equally, you’ll work with colleagues and communities to design and deliver campaigns that are shaped and delivered by people with living experience of poverty.
This is a broad and varied role, ideal for someone who thrives on collaboration, wants to be hands-on in delivery, and is passionate about challenging injustice through powerful storytelling and action.
About You
You’ll be a skilled and creative communications and campaigns professional, with a track record of delivering high-impact, audience-focused content and activity across digital, media and supporter channels. You’re confident managing multiple priorities, spotting opportunities in a fast-moving external environment, and adapting messaging to maximise reach and impact. Experience of in person mobilisation would be an added advantage.
You’ll bring strong project management skills and enjoy working collaboratively across teams to produce clear, compelling communications that support fundraising, influence policy, and build public pressure. Whether it’s crafting supporter actions, writing stories that centre lived experience, or securing media coverage, you’ll be comfortable leading delivery while contributing ideas to wider strategic thinking.
You’ll have a keen understanding of how to build trust, grow engagement, and communicate complex issues in a way that connects with audiences. You’ll also be politically engaged and passionate about using communications and campaigns to challenge injustice and drive change.
In return, you’ll join a small charity that punches above its weight with regular coverage in major media outlets and a strong voice in national conversations on poverty. It’s an exciting time to come on board, with a rebrand ahead and a huge opportunity to grow our brand as we make a real difference for people in poverty.
