About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

The Start Network is made up of more than 50 aid agencies across five continents, ranging from large international organisations to national NGOs. Start Network aim is to transform humanitarian action through innovation, fast funding, early action, and localisation. We're tackling what we believe are the biggest systemic problems that the sector faces. Problems including slow and reactive funding, centralised decision-making, and an aversion to change mean that people affected by crises around the world do not receive the best help fast enough, and needless suffering results. Start Network work focuses on three areas to change the system:

Localisation: shifting power to those closest to the front line for more effective response.

New forms of financing: providing fast, early, and predictable funding to improve community resilience and preparedness.

Collective innovation: sharing expertise, insights and perspectives to shape a more effective humanitarian system.

About the Role

The Start Fund is a multi-donor rapid response fund which provides financing to underfunded small to medium scale crises, spikes in chronic humanitarian crises, and to act in anticipation of impending crises, filling a critical gap in humanitarian financing. The Programme Manager role is responsible for overseeing the successful implementation of the programme, managing all contractual obligations and donor compliance, linking the programme with the wider Start Network strategy, business development and managing the relationship with Start member agencies involved in the implementation. You will also manage the team of Start Fund officers.

Key accountabilities

In addition to the above, you will:

• Effectively manage a team of (currently five) Programme Officers responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the Start Fund. This includes managing the alerts cycle, from alert raising, allocation of funds and disbursement to members, to reporting and learning. The team also plays a key role in supporting resource mobilization for the programme, and related donor engagement.
• You will be responsible for identifying improvements to our systems to enable the Start Fund programme to be ready for scale up, as there is an ambitious objective of growth (around 60% in the next three years).
• Along with the Head of Start Funds, play a critical role in developing adequate strategic planning work for the Start Fund, including work to transition the Start Funds into the future financial infrastructure of the Start Network – the Start Financing Facility
• Responsible for the Start Fund's performance in line with agreed KPIs, including Start Fund timely payments, working closely with the Save the Children finance team

To be successful you will:

• Have significant experience in team leadership (including line management) experience

• Experience in organising events and engaging varied stakeholders in complex issues
• A confident communicator and networker with excellent networking and relationship-building skills

About you and the role

The Hansard Society is looking for a Membership and Operations Manager to strengthen our organisation and develop our supporter base.

If you are interested in politics and think what Parliament does matters, then this is a great opportunity to help us with our mission to foster knowledge and understanding of the Westminster Parliament and ways in which Parliament can be made more effective.

The purpose of this new role is to:

• develop a larger and more active and engaged membership community to support the Society’s research and educational work in the years ahead;
• strengthen the Society’s operational functions, enhancing its capacity, resilience, and future development.

We are therefore looking for someone who is highly motivated and will embrace a new role, in a small, dynamic research Society with an international reputation, where you can make a big impact and enjoy significant autonomy. You will have some relevant experience in a membership or similar role, perhaps at a bigger organisation, but will relish the opportunity to take what you've learnt and apply it to help revitalise the Hansard Society's membership model and help us engage more effectively with our supporters. You will manage business-critical functions, gain in-depth experience of all aspects of running a charity, and take an entrepreneurial approach to improving our operations.

As our Membership and Operations Manager, here’s a taste of what you’ll do:

• Expand, develop and manage the Society's membership. You'll develop and implement a new membership strategy, oversee production of new marketing materials, communicate regularly with our members, and organise members-only events, including our AGM.
• Financial administration and governance. You'll co-ordinate each week with our accountants about invoice-raising, payment-chasing, expense claims, and credit card reconciliation. And you'll liaise with our Statutory Instrument Tracker® clients about contracts, invoicing and subscription renewals, and help keep our CRM (contact relationship management) system up to date.
• Operational improvement. You'll review and develop our operational policies and procedures (e.g. on diversity and inclusion, health and safety, data protection and privacy) and keep them up to date, with the ability to call on our external HR advisers for advice where necessary.  
• Support the operational delivery of our programme of public and private events. As and when we can return to in-person events, you'll book venues, catering, and other suppliers. You'll keep our CRM system updated and maintain the financial records. And, working with other members of the team, you'll liaise with speakers, sponsors and attendees.
• Support the Director with the governance of the charity. You'll liaise with our Board of Trustees and assist with our corporate reporting and compliance with charity and company law. You'll also help with reporting to funders and sponsors.
• Ensure the smooth running of the office. As the first point of contact you'll liaise regularly with the landlord and our suppliers. And occasionally we may need you to provide PA-type support for the Director and other staff such as organising staff meetings, co-ordinating diaries, ordering supplies and booking rooms and travel.

This is a new role, so you will help shape how it develops, but the ability to multi-task and juggle priorities is essential. The role carries considerable responsibility, with a lot of potential for growth and development in the future. 

Our office is situated near Westminster on the 1st floor of Millbank Tower. As and when the pandemic-related lockdown eases, staff will need to spend some time in the office together, but we anticipate being able to offer hybrid arrangements with some continued remote working.

Your skills and experience

You'll be the right person for this job if:

• You have some experience of working within the membership team of a membership organisation or professional association or similar body.
• You have excellent organisational and project management skills, an eye for detail, and the ability to juggle priorities and work with minimal supervision.  
• You have exceptional people skills and are a collaborative team-player.
• You have excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• You have excellent IT skills: are familiar with CRM systems and are proficient in using Microsoft Office software.
• You are a creative thinker and problem-solver with a 'can do' attitude.
• You appreciate our mission, have good political awareness, and can commit to the non-partisan values and ethos of the Hansard Society.
