Job description

Our Vision: A UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

We are UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to approximately 8,500 frontline charities and community 
groups. Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.

There has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness. 

FareShare is an equal opportunity employer, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and abilities and as a Disability Confident Employer, we provide reasonable adjustments.


We aim to recruit from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing 
to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our 
commitment to redistributing surplus food, come and join us.

The Role

We have recently set a new 3-year strategy, leading to a major transformation of the organisation. To support this, we have built a new Project Delivery function and invested in key capabilities, including project management and business analysis. This role involves initiating and managing complex projects from inception through to delivery, and providing mentoring to colleagues managing smaller projects. You’ll champion the new project management methodologies and support colleagues in adopting these practices.

About you

You are a highly effective project manager with significant experience in managing complex projects through the entire lifecycle, particularly those involving technology. You have a track record of delivering project benefits and working collaboratively with stakeholders. As a self-starter, you can quickly build relationships and influence colleagues up to executive level. You are patient and supportive, able to guide colleagues through new project management methodologies and governance frameworks. Experience in business analysis is beneficial.

Main responsibilities

  • Collaborate with colleagues to refine project requirements and develop plans.
  • Develop business cases to justify project initiation or continuation.
  • Support the development of RFPs to engage third parties.
  • Track and manage project activities and deliverables.
  • Manage project resources and budgets.
  • Identify and manage project risks, issues and dependencies.
  • Work with stakeholders to ensure project success.
  • Facilitate project reviews to capture organisational learning.
  • Ensure smooth integration of project outputs into business operations.
  • Champion new project management methodologies and support colleagues in adopting new practices.

Person specification

Essential criteria

  • Proven track record delivering complex projects to meet organisational objectives in a technical environment.
  • Proficiency in MS Office and project management tools.
  • Strong organisational and analytical skills.
  • Excellent planning, prioritisation and problem-solving skills.
  • Demonstrable communication and influencing skills.
  • Experience with different project management methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, Hybrid).
  • Self-starter with a proactive approach.
  • Hands on and outcome driven approach.
  • Patient and supportive, capable of guiding colleagues through new methodologies.
  • Able to work in an unstructured environment.
  • An understanding of and commitment to FareShare’s mission.
  • A commitment to Equal Opportunities.
  • Flexibility and collaborative style of working across FareShare and with all our stakeholders.

Desirable criteria

  • Understanding of the food sector.
  • Experience in business analysis.
  • Project Management qualification (APM PMQ or equivalent).

Salary: £46,674 (London) or £43,563 (National)
