Director of Programmes
London (with flexibility for one day of remote working per week)
£72,000 – £92,000 per annum

Our client is a fast-growing charity using the power of football to change lives. They run accessible, high-quality football programmes for thousands of young people across London, regardless of their background or ability to pay.

In just six years, they’ve grown from a bold idea to reaching 6,000 young people every week. Their ambition is to reach 20,000 by 2028. To get there, they need a strategic operator to lead the next phase of their growth.

They’re looking for a Director of Programmes with a proven ability to scale services, build systems that support consistent delivery, and ensure quality is never compromised. This is not a frontline delivery or coaching role, it’s a senior leadership position that combines strategic oversight, operational rigour, and cultural leadership.

You may come from a background in large-scale event operations, network-based service models, or high-growth commercial environments where building for scale was central to your role. Whether you’ve grown delivery infrastructure for a logistics platform, designed consistent customer experiences across digital and in-person touchpoints, or codified a service model for expansion, you’ll understand how to scale something complex with consistency and care. At our client’s organisation, the product is the experience they deliver to thousands of young people each week and they’re looking for someone who can ensure that experience remains exceptional as they grow.

You’ll lead a growing team, shape delivery strategy, and build systems that support high performance across all programmes. Football experience isn’t essential, but you’ll need to understand and value the role it plays in engaging and inspiring young people.

The successful candidate will bring:

• Proven experience designing and scaling programme or product delivery in a fast-growth, impact-focused or operationally complex environment

• Strong operational and strategic leadership, with the ability to codify delivery models, build scalable systems, and maintain quality at pace

• A data-informed mindset, with confidence using insight, analytics, and digital tools to drive performance and decision-making

• Experience leading and developing teams, fostering a high-performance culture, and collaborating effectively across functions such as digital, marketing, fundraising, and partnerships

• A strong understanding of safeguarding, risk management, and quality assurance, particularly in youth or community settings

• Deep personal alignment with our client’s mission and the belief in sport as a tool for social change

This is a rare opportunity to shape a much-loved product at scale and to ensure no young person is left behind because of where they’re from or what they can afford.

At the heart of the 2027 programme is a paid, 12-month role within a leading foundation, trust, or social investment organisation. You’ll be employed full-time in a grant-making or related position with one of our dynamic host organisations across the UK. In this role, you’ll contribute directly to improving the communities your host serves while earning a salary of at least £25,000 (or £25,642 if based in London).

Alongside your placement, you’ll take part in an acclaimed development programme designed to build the knowledge, skills, and experience needed for a successful career in the funding sector. Through this, you’ll explore the challenges within grant-making and social investment, develop your leadership potential, and work alongside peers to imagine and create a more equitable and effective funding system. The programme supports you not only to thrive in your new role but also to grow into a future changemaker in the sector.

This unique blend of training, professional experience, and network-building will equip you to take the next step toward a decision-making role in a foundation, trust, or social investment organisation—helping to shape how resources are used to create lasting change in communities.

Why 2027 exists

Launched in 2017, 2027 was born out of a desire to shift power in the grant-making sector. It aims to bridge the gap between funders and the communities they serve—particularly by addressing the lack of people with lived experience of working-class communities in decision-making roles. 2027 helps change who is involved in making funding decisions and how those decisions are made.

The Job

In your placement, you could be:

• Managing parts of a grant portfolio
• Building relationships with community partners
• Making funding recommendations
• Preparing reports and updates for trustees
• Engaging with the funder’s broader organisation to inspire interest in community work
• Ensuring legal and compliance obligations are met
• Representing your host externally and bringing in outside learning

Each role will vary slightly depending on your host organisation. We’ll work with you to ensure a placement that aligns with your goals and development.

Who You’ll Work For
You’ll be matched with a respected host organisation—one of the UK’s leading foundations, trusts, or social investment organisations—based on your location preferences and interests. Previous hosts have included:

• BBC Children in Need
• National Lottery Community Fund
• Joseph Rowntree Foundation
• Sport England
• Better Society Capital
• City Bridge Trust
• NHS Charities Together

The Development Programme
As part of your role, you’ll participate in a comprehensive professional development programme led by sector experts. It includes:

• Residentials: Two in-person events for deep learning and peer connection.
• Masterclasses: Online, expert-led sessions exploring key sector topics.
• Peer Support Sessions: Monthly confidential spaces to reflect and share learning.
• Mentoring: Each Associate is paired with an experienced sector mentor.
• Self-Directed Learning: Curated content for reflection and growth between sessions.
• Peer Coaching: Training and monthly sessions to build coaching skills and mutual support.
• 360 Review + 1:1 Coaching: Holistic feedback and personalised coaching to support your development.
• 2027 Connect: A mix of events to connect with the wider 2027 community, including alumni, hosts, and mentors.

Career Progression
By the end of the programme, you’ll have built the experience, confidence, and insight to take on more senior or decision-making roles in the funding sector—playing a meaningful part in shaping how money is invested for social good.

Job description

• Job Title: 2027 Associate
• Salary: Minimum of £25,000 (£25,642 if based in London)
• Employer: One of our host foundations, trusts, or social investment organisations
• Location: Opportunities across England and Scotland (you’ll share your preferences)
• Hours: Typically 9am–5pm, with some flexibility
