Senior fundraising manager jobs
Director of Finance and Operations
The Akshaya Patra Foundation UK
Salary: £60,000-£70,000 per annum
Remote (UK-based) with expensed travel to London
Full-time, permanent
Akshaya Patra is one of the world’s largest school meals charities – nourishing 2.35 million children in India every day and now expanding our impact across the UK.
Our UK after-school programme, Empower Hour, provides hot, nutritious meals and targeted tuition to children growing up in poverty – extending the school day by 60 minutes to give them the fuel, support and enrichment they need to thrive.
What began in one school in 2024 is already serving ten, and – alongside driving continued expansion in India – we are now ready to scale our delivery to reach thousands more children across the UK’s most disadvantaged communities.
To help lead this exciting phase of growth, we are seeking a Director of Finance and Operations – a senior leader who combines strong financial stewardship with operational leadership and is motivated by purpose as much as performance.
You will sit on the Senior Leadership Team, reporting to the CEO, and oversee two core portfolios:
- Programmes – overseeing Watford kitchen operations, Empower Hour delivery and holiday hunger initiatives.
- Finance and Resources – leading financial planning and reporting, systems, compliance, HR development and organisational infrastructure.
This role will suit someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical implementation – someone who finds energy in building strong foundations and helping a values-led organisation grow well.
You may have built your career in charity, education, food provision, public services, the private sector or elsewhere – but you will bring:
- Senior-level experience across finance, operations or programme delivery.
- Strong financial acumen and understanding of charity governance and compliance.
- A collaborative leadership style – supporting, challenging and uplifting those you lead.
- Deep alignment with our mission to fight child hunger and educational inequality.
What we offer:
- Flexible and remote working.
- 34 days’ leave (25 days annual leave + Diwali + English bank holidays).
- Employer pension contribution.
- Investment in professional and vocational development.
- A meaningful leadership role in a growing global movement – empowering children in both the UK and India.
How to apply:
- Download the full job description and application details here or on our website.
- Please send your CV and a cover letter to the email address in the applicant pack outlining both your suitability for the role and what attracts you to Akshaya Patra and our mission.
- Closing date: Monday 3 November 2025.
If you believe no child should be held back by hunger – and you have the leadership skills and desire to help grow an organisation that makes that possible – we would love to hear from you.

Project Manager - Inside Track
ABOUT US
There are millions of highly educated, well-paid, politically engaged people who care deeply about the world. Every morning, they go to work in professional services firms knowing that the firms they work for and the industries that they are a part of are blockers rather than enablers to a just transition.
They look for ways to ‘make a difference’ internally but fall at every hurdle. They think about quitting but feel financially tied to their jobs. They become accepting of the fact that things are how they are. They become disillusioned and start to feel helplessness and even shame. They offer little value to the transformation that the world needs and that they themselves yearn for.
Inside Track supports professionals working within major industries to come together — often in confidential or anonymous settings — to surface insights and build collective power for an equitable, regenerative future.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The role is a Project Manager at a start-up non-profit looking to create a global movement to support senior professionals in powerful industries to - collectively and anonymously - help drive positive change in their industries.
Your job will be to help recruit, facilitate and mobilise corporate ‘Insiders’ to help them transform their industries to support a more just and regenerative world.
We are looking for someone with skills in relationship building, facilitation, research and project management. We are particularly interested in candidates who have expertise working in public health and health inequalities, or who have a background in diversity, equity and inclusion in a corporate setting.
This is an amazing opportunity for someone interested in shaping a new and ambitious organisation, and supporting the development of a new method of civil society organising.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
We are looking for someone with at least two years of professional experience who is:
- Able to work delicately in high trust environments;
- Able to work collaboratively with partners;
- Energised to search and recruit for Insiders from a ‘cold’ start (e.g. building new relationships on Linkedin, etc.); and
- Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of.
We will be looking for people who have had to build things from scratch and are used to working with diverse stakeholder groups and holding a strong sense of purpose.
We are particularly interested in candidates with a background and experience in public health, health inequalities and diversity, equity and inclusion.
HOW TO APPLY
Stage 1: Applicants are requested to apply via CharityJob by 10am on 27th October 2025.
Stage 2: You’ll be invited to submit a full cover letter and/or attend a video call interview with one of our team to discuss your application.
Stage 3: We will be providing you with exercise (max time commitment 1hr) to complete.
Stage 4: You’ll be invited to a second interview, likely in person.
TIMELINE

Interviews: November 2025

A NOTE ON INCLUSION
We are committed to building a team that reflects a wide range of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives.
If you’re not sure whether you tick every box, but feel excited about the work, we strongly encourage you to apply.
We particularly welcome candidates from backgrounds underrepresented in media, campaigning, and systems change roles — including people of colour, disabled candidates, and those from working-class or non-traditional paths.
Please note that to be considered for this post, you must be legally eligible to work in the UK. We are unable to hire anyone that isn’t already living in the UK, nor are we able to sponsor visas.
