As Ubele has just produced a new 5 year strategy (April 2026 - March 2030) this is not a role to redefine strategy, but to deliver against it - bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to implementation across the organisation. The Interim CEO will focus on:

• Embedding systems, processes, and consistent ways of working
• Strengthening leadership accountability, line management, and performance oversight
• Improving organisational coordination, decision-making, and operational effectiveness
• Providing visible, steady leadership to support confidence and cohesion across teams

Working closely with the Advisory Board and Executive Chair, and Senior Leadership Team, the Interim CEO will support Ubele to move from a prolonged period of transition into a more stable, aligned, and effectively operating organisation.

• Identify and address delays, barriers, or areas of ambiguity, ensuring momentum is maintained.
• Support the organisation to move from a prolonged period of transition to a more stable and consistent operating environment.

• Ensure clarity of roles, responsibilities, and decision-making across the organisation.
• Line manage the Senior Leadership Team, holding them accountable for delivery, team management, and performance within their areas.
• Embed consistent performance management practices, including clear objectives, regular review, and timely intervention.
• Strengthen internal systems, processes, and ways of working to improve coordination, efficiency, and organisational effectiveness.
• Ensure policies and procedures are actively used, understood, and adhered to across teams.
• Oversee the development and use of high-quality data, reporting, and management information to support decision-making and track performance.

Governance & advisory board relations (CIC)

• Work closely with the Chair and Advisory Board to ensure strong and compliant CIC governance.
• Provide clear and timely reporting on organisational performance, finances, risk, and progress against strategic priorities.
• Support the Advisory Board to maintain effective oversight and fulfil its strategic and fiduciary responsibilities.

• Ensure appropriate systems, policies, and practices are in place and actively implemented.
• Hold SLT members accountable for compliance within their areas.
• Ensure regulatory requirements (CIC, employment law, contracts, data protection) are met.

Person Specification

We recognise this is an interim role with a specific organisational mandate. We are seeking a leader who can quickly assess, prioritise, and act, rather than someone looking to reshape the organisation over the long term.

Leadership & change

• Significant experience leading organisations through implementation phases of change, with a clear focus on delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to bring structure, pace, and discipline to complex transformation programmes.
• Experience stabilising organisations during or following periods of uncertainty or extended change.

• Strong understanding of performance reporting, data, and evaluation.
• Familiarity with safeguarding and quality assurance in community or social impact settings.

Additional Information

This is an interim leadership role with a clearly defined mandate to reinforce the organisations foundations, embed change, and strengthen operational effectiveness.

The focus of the role is on delivery rather than strategy development, and on ensuring that existing plans are implemented in a structured, consistent, and sustainable way.

As such, we are seeking someone who can work at pace, make decisions, and bring clarity and direction, while supporting the organisation through a period of transition.

A visible and consistent presence at Wolves Lane is essential to support leadership alignment, team cohesion, and organisational effectiveness.

This role involves responsibility for socially impactful and occasionally emotionally demanding work. A commitment to wellbeing, reflective leadership, and resilience is essential.

This job description may evolve as Ubele continues its organisational development.

We are seeking a highly efficient, collaborative professional with a keen eye for detail to work closely with the CEO in a supporting role. This role will be critical to the functioning and effective governance of the organisation, providing a broad range of support as required. Tasks will be varied and will involve both supporting our frontline functions and assisting with back-office admin, ranging from providing a compassionate response to people dropping into our office for support or dealing with telephone queries from vulnerable migrants, to processing invoices and assisting in the drafting of fundraising applications.

This is a new post to support efficient administration at HMC, ensuring the smooth running of HMC’s office and providing essential support to the CEO.

We are a busy team supporting a large number of vulnerable people and working hard to deliver impactful services in a challenging external environment. In a small team with limited resources, we all wear multiple hats and this will be a varied and busy role juggling tasks across multiple areas.

This role offers a rewarding opportunity for a highly organised person who is as comfortable delivering public-facing services as they are working alone in deep focus to complete an administrative task or write a report. The ideal candidate is confident speaking to and supporting others, and enjoys administrative tasks, creating and maintaining structure and working in a supportive capacity.

You will oversee the full lifecycle of European donor‑funded awards, ensuring rigorous contractual and regulatory compliance across Internews. Working closely with colleagues across Programmes, Finance, and Global Development, you will help maintain a culture where doing things right is prioritised over shortcuts.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise with major European donors (European Commission, Sida, FCDO), a proactive mindset, and the ability to lead, train, and influence teams across the organisation.

· Establish and maintain proposal, award, and contract records within the award management system, including significant data entry.

Procurement Management

· Advise staff on procurement requirements and maintain internal records for procurements under awards.

· Support development of compliant procurement plans.

· Lead and administer higher‑value procurements, including negotiating contractor terms.

· Draft and execute sub‑contracts and amendments in full compliance with donor and Internews policies.

· Troubleshoot contractual issues, prepare termination notices, and manage related risks.

· Prepare procurement documentation for audits and serve as point of contact for procurement audit processes.

· In all duties, uphold Internews’ Core Values and demonstrate commitment to fostering a culture of Belonging, Dignity, and Justice.

SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES
