Job description

As our Operations & Executive Support Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in keeping the organisation running smoothly. You’ll work at the heart of our Corporate Function, ensuring our systems, people, and processes are efficient and aligned with our mission. There is no line management initially but if the team grows, we will discuss this with you.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll provide both operational leadership and executive support - helping the CEO and wider team stay focused on impact. You’ll also work with our Head of Programmes to ensure coordination across the charity.

This role would suit you if you’re highly organised, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. You might currently be an Operations Officer, Senior Administrator, or Project Manager, ready to step up into a broader, more strategic role.

JOB DETAILS

  • Job Title - Operations & Executive Support Manager

These are usually communicated well in advance. We expect team members to work from the office at least three days per week, but we offer flexibility to balance this with remote working. This is a one-year fixed-term contract, with the likelihood of renewal subject to funding availability.
  • Closing date - 14 December 2025 

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

1. Operational Coordination (40%)

  • Oversee day-to-day organisational operations, systems, and processes.

  • Maintain and improve internal systems & processes (task & project management).

  • Manage supplier relationships (insurance, IT, HR, utilities, etc.).

  • Lead internal projects to improve efficiency and staff experience.

2. Executive Support (25%)

  • Provide comprehensive diary management for the CEO and organisation-wide initiatives.

  • Prepare briefings, reports, and presentation materials when required.

  • Support the CEO with governance papers, communications, and meeting follow-up.

  • Represent the CEO in communications with stakeholders as required.

3. People & Culture (20%)

  • Coordinate HR administration, recruitment logistics, and onboarding.

  • Support the delivery of wellbeing and culture initiatives.

  • Plan internal events, training sessions, and away days.

  • Maintain accurate staff records and support internal communications.

4. Governance & Strategy Support (15%)

  • Prepare and circulate Board and sub-committee papers.

  • Maintain organisational policies and compliance registers.

  • Monitor progress against operational plans and key performance measures.

  • Support internal and external reporting requirements (funders, trustees, etc.).

KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS REQUIRED

  • Experience in operations, project management, or executive support.

  • Excellent organisation and time management skills.

  • Strong written and verbal communication.

  • Understanding of governance and charity operations.

  • Excellent communication and influencing skills, with experience engaging confidently with senior stakeholders, funders, and partners.

Desirable

  • Experience in the charity, youth, or public policy sectors.
