We need someone to join us as our Operations and Governance Manager to ensure London Funders, its projects and subsidiary Collaboration Circle, run smoothly. The ideal candidate will bring strong organisational skills, a collaborative and people-led approach, and the ability to turn strategic thinking into clear, effective action. 

We’re at a pivotal and exciting point in the organisation as we’ve grown from three to thirteen team members in the last few years. Alongside this, London Funders now has a subsidiary organisation in its infancy, Collaboration Circle, and the potential for a second one through our place based work with London’s Giving. This growth creates real opportunities to shape and deliver strong communications across the London Funders family. 

We’re now looking for someone who can help us build on that growth by identifying opportunities for operational efficiency and designing smart, people-centred processes. This role will lead on implementing new policies, ensuring compliance with charitable and regulatory requirements across finance, HR, and governance, and managing digital systems to streamline workflows.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation translating strategic conversations into practical actions, such as producing high-quality board papers and ensuring smooth governance by coordinating schedules, meetings, and deadlines that supports effective decision-making. In addition, you’ll collaborate on recruitment, training, staff development, and organisational project management, helping to shape a supportive and high-performing team culture.This means that there is lots of opportunities to design, develop and implement new processes across the London Funders family.

We are looking for a warm, flexible and highly motivated fundraiser to work across all areas of our fundraising, from securing income from trusts and foundations and corporate partners to staying on top of our individual giving. 

You’ll benefit from regular mentoring sessions with an external fundraising consultant and be able to foster close relationships with our board of trustees and other key stakeholders. 

BYO has a very small core team, which you’ll be part of, and a large number of freelancers and external staff that join for programmes, events and performances. Our registered office is at the London Coliseum but day-to-day, when our big
programmes aren’t running, we work remotely. 

You’ll find yourself inputting across the organisation – for an inquisitive and proactive person there are plenty of opportunities to take on more responsibility as we grow. Here at BYO we actively support professional development and are very open to flexible working.

The postholder will develop and lead fundraising and partnerships, raising crucial funds to support MumsAid’s growth. We are looking for an experienced, versatile fundraiser who can hit the ground running, bring a holistic approach and work with a range of donors and funders to help MumsAid develop a sustainable income pipeline. 

This role has strategic accountability for fundraising and managing funder relationships. You will lead our competitive tendering and grant application work, and develop our corporate partnerships.
