What is The Multibank?
The Multibank is a clothes, bedding, baby, hygiene, toys and furniture bank all rolled into one.
Our idea is simple: businesses have surplus products that people need, while local charities and community organisations know the families who need them. The Multibank connects the two — getting essential products to people experiencing poverty, free at the point of delivery and with dignity at every step.
We were founded on the belief that businesses can help solve a social problem while addressing a business challenge. We take perfectly good products that businesses can no longer sell and put them to good use, helping alleviate some of the everyday challenges faced by families across the UK, while keeping products in use and contributing to a more sustainable economy.
While surplus is at the heart of our model, we also welcome product donations and use at-cost purchasing where needed to ensure we can provide the right products to meet demand.
We are a growing national charity, with an expanding network of Multibanks and an increasingly diverse group of business partners. As we grow, we're developing the supply partnerships, systems and processes needed to get more of the right products to more people.
What is the role and its impact?
We're looking for an experienced Supply & Partnerships Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day supply function at The Multibank.
You'll make sure products move efficiently from our supply partners through the Multibank network, while building strong relationships with suppliers and regional Multibanks and continually improving how we manage supply.
This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility. You'll manage the detail of stock offers, allocations and logistics, while also understanding the bigger picture and identifying opportunities to improve our systems, processes and supply base.
You'll work closely with the Director of Supply & Partnerships, taking ownership of operational supply and creating capacity for the Director to focus on strategic supply growth, senior partnerships and supporting the development of the wider Multibank network.
It's an opportunity to play a key role in helping The Multibank scale — ensuring we have the products, partnerships and systems needed to meet growing demand.
What you'll be working on
Supply operations
- You'll own the day-to-day movement of products from initial offer through to allocation and delivery.
- You'll act as the main operational contact for supply partners, providing a responsive and straightforward service.
- You'll coordinate product offers, allocations and deliveries across the Multibank network.
- You'll manage and triage the partnerships inbox, ensuring enquiries are responded to promptly.
- You'll work with Palletline and other logistics partners to coordinate the movement of products.
- You'll track stock movements and proactively identify and resolve issues.
Supply partnerships
- You'll build and maintain strong relationships with existing supply partners.
- You'll identify opportunities to increase the volume and range of support from existing partners.
- You'll prepare tailored partner updates and reports.
- You'll work with the Director of Supply & Partnerships on strategic partner relationships and new opportunities.
Supply development and insight
- You'll develop a strong understanding of product demand across the Multibank network.
- You'll identify gaps and opportunities across supply and demand.
- You'll support the development of new sources of surplus, donations and low-cost purchasing.
- You'll use data and insight to inform supply decisions and help us build a more diverse and resilient supply base.
Systems and improvement
- You'll own and improve the systems and processes used to manage supply.
- You'll identify operational bottlenecks and develop practical solutions.
- You'll improve visibility of supply, demand, allocations and stock movements.
- You'll lead or contribute to projects that enable the supply function to scale.
This job is for you if…
- You have experience in supply, operations, partnerships, account management or a similar role.
- You're comfortable managing multiple relationships, priorities and processes simultaneously.
- You're highly organised, with strong attention to detail.
- You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
- You're confident building trusted relationships with corporate partners and internal stakeholders.
- You're proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable taking ownership.
- You're able to work independently and make decisions with limited day-to-day direction.
- You're confident working with data and using insight to inform decisions.
- You're comfortable working in a fast-paced or growing organisation where priorities and processes can evolve.
- You care about The Multibank's mission and the difference our work makes.
Experience of logistics, surplus redistribution, donations or working within the charity/social impact sector would be advantageous, but you don't need to come from a traditional logistics background. We're interested in transferable experience and people who can demonstrate strong organisation, relationship management, problem-solving and attention to detail.
A growing charity
The Multibank is a relatively young charity that has grown quickly, with an entrepreneurial and ambitious culture. We are now at an exciting stage of development, building our team and putting the structures, policies and processes in place to support our next phase of growth. Many of these are still in their infancy, which means there is plenty of opportunity to shape how we work. To be successful in this role, you'll need to be comfortable with some ambiguity, enjoy finding practical solutions and be excited by the opportunity to help build the systems and processes of a growing charity.
Why join The Multibank?
This is an exciting time to join The Multibank. We're growing our national network and developing the supply model needed to support that growth.
You'll have the opportunity to shape how we manage supply at scale, strengthen relationships with businesses and help build access to the right products for the communities we support.
You'll also have significant autonomy and the opportunity to make a tangible difference in a small, ambitious and rapidly growing charity.
How to apply
Alongside your CV, please provide a short covering statement addressing the following:
- What attracts you to The Multibank and this opportunity?
- Organisation and coordination: Tell us about a time when you have had to manage multiple moving parts or competing priorities to get something delivered.
- Relationships: Tell us about your experience building and managing relationships with customers, suppliers, partners or other stakeholders.
We expect significant interest in this role and may close the advert early if we receive a strong field of candidates.
Additional details
We believe in flexibility and trust. We’re happy to work with the successful candidate to find a working pattern that works for both them and the organisation. This could include flexibility around when hours are worked, alongside the option to consider a slightly reduced-hours arrangement for the right candidate.
We're a small and growing team, so there will be times when collaboration and availability are important, but we focus on outcomes rather than being prescriptive about when or where work is done.
We also recognise that people don't always meet every requirement listed in a job description. If you're excited about the role and can demonstrate strong organisational, relationship-building and problem-solving skills, we'd encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match everything we've described. The role involves occasional UK travel, including to meet supply partners, Multibanks and colleagues.
The Director of Supply & Partnerships is based in the North West, and the ability to travel to Preston / Manchester on occasion is advantageous, particularly during the induction period.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Are you looking for a life mission and a rewarding career where you can help find ways of tackling social and environmental problems in the UK and globally? Do you want to change the world and people’s lives?
Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is looking for enthusiastic and motivated individuals who are intellectually curious and understand the value of how collaborative design, flexible delivery and clear accountability can contribute to achieving a positive social, health and environmental impact.
Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a mission-driven not-for-profit social enterprise. We work with Government, community groups and specialist partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from education and wellbeing to housing, employment and environmental protection.
Bridges Outcomes Partnerships is a not-for-profit subsidiary of Bridges Fund Management, a specialist impact-driven fund manager. Over the last decade, we have had the privilege of working on 100+ outcomes contracts, supporting over 1,400,000 people, delivering £200m+ worth of outcomes across the globe and creating £1.9bn+ of public value in the UK
There is a strong case for expanding Social Outcomes Partnerships in the UK and other high-income countries: Needs in our communities are increasingly complex and interconnected. Traditional service provision and delivery often struggle to tackle wicked social problems. There has been an unprecedented rise in referrals to children social care, populations who are experiencing homelessness, people managing multiple chronic conditions, facing domestic abuse challenges in their households, and many other multi-faceted issues. Public resources are stretched – making long-term holistic funding for comprehensive services challenging. Traditional input-based models often fail to improve lives of communities and achieve poor value for public money. This is why Social Outcomes Partnerships can be part of the solution – offering holistic, localised, and personalised solutions with our communities. With more than fifteen years of experience, Bridges Outcomes Partnerships can play a role in galvanising more outcomes-based approaches, creating long-term impact through accountability, collaborative design, and flexible delivery while achieving better value for money for outcomes payers.
The role of Bridges Outcomes Partnerships spans project development (working with outcome funders and others to design and launch the delivery), partnership coordination, project and delivery management (coordinating the delivery phase and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (sourcing social investment to fund the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Better Society Capital, UBS Optimus Foundation, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.
In the year to come, we are focused on growing our direct and systemic impact nationally and internationally, and we are incredibly excited about your help on this journey!
We would love to hear from you if you are:
· Curious, analytical, highly numerate, and great at solving problems
· Exceptional at building strong working relationships with team members and across a range of stakeholders
· Flexible and adaptable team player with a can-do attitude
· Able to undertake a variety of activities with a substantial degree of personal responsibility and autonomy
About the opportunity:
We are looking for someone exceptional to join our team as we build new projects and partnerships.
As a Social Investment Manager, you will work on the outcomes contracts activity in both the UK and other high-income countries. You will develop new projects and partnerships along with ongoing management of the existing portfolio.
Here’s a taste of what you’ll do:
> Initiate and execute the development of outcomes partnerships opportunities: Identifying and engaging with challenges faced by central and local government and delivery partners to develop impactful delivery models which tackle those challenges.
> Lead on the implementation of a full project lifecycle of an outcomes-based project and a portfolio of outcomes partnerships, including tasks such as leading on initial assessment and investment processes in project development, developing outcome contract models, leading operational and financial analysis, managing complete legal negotiations and documentation processes.
> Innovating in our delivery: Proactively engaging with key stakeholders to develop and implement delivery innovations while considering any key assumptions around operations, impact, and finance; supporting teams to solve problems using first principles. This includes working with delivery partners to help create the best possible impact in sustainable ways, by identifying issues and opportunities, initiating projects, and developing delivery innovations.
> Creating and maintaining excellent stakeholder relationships: Engage in strong rapport-building with commissioners, outcome funders, and delivery partner teams; identify best delivery team structure for our internal operational teams; and contribute to social investor meetings to present project and market development activities.
Key attributes we are looking for:
> A genuine passion to drive social change: We are constantly searching for new ways to dramatically change the status quo. This requires someone with excellent attention to detail and who will demonstrate the ability to lead on impact and value creation.
> Ability to deliver more than the system expects: We believe that more is possible than the current system is achieving, and we need to demonstrate this in practice. This requires tenacity and relentless optimism.
> Ability to think differently: We will not succeed by copying existing models or structures. Our projects and investments all require the team to think through each problem from first principles and find the most effective and efficient new solution in each case. This requires logic, analytical rigour, and a willingness to question assumptions. It also requires the desire to work in a dynamic environment, along with the ability to be solutions-focused and work in a small team.
> Ability to build and maintain trust: We aim for the edge of what we believe is possible, from ourselves and our partners; this can only be achieved through mutual trust. Everything we do must be open to scrutiny and full transparency. This requires excellent interpersonal skills and absolute integrity.
> A self-starter comfortable working through complexity and co-ordinating diverse sets of stakeholders against tight deadlines and competing priorities.
Suitable candidates will have:
> 7+ years of experience working in social investment, financial and senior operational roles within the VCSE sector, management consulting, public sector delivery, or similar sectors.
> Excellent financial and modelling skills, with extensive experience in supporting the development of comprehensive business/financial plans.
> Strong delivery and investment, advisory and/or operational track record.
> Higher degree level education or equivalent experience.
> Exceptional interpersonal skills, adept at working with multiple stakeholders.
> Experience supporting the development of comprehensive value creation strategies.
> Strong strategic, commercial and entrepreneurial judgement.
> Experience of working with government partners to develop social change projects is desirable.

> Experience of impact investing is desirable.
