The Talent Set is delighted to be partnering with the Henry Smith Foundation on the recruitment of a newly created Head of Digital Transformation role. This is a unique opportunity to lead a significant organisation-wide transformation programme and help shape how one of the UK's leading independent foundations uses digital, data and technology to maximise its impact.

As the Foundation continues to grow and evolve, it has recognised the need for a strategic leader who can bring together systems, data, technology and people into a clear and ambitious digital vision. This is an opportunity to build and lead a digital transformation agenda from the ground up, working closely with senior leaders, trustees, colleagues and external partners to create a more connected, data-informed and future-ready organisation.

The Opportunity

The Foundation has grown significantly over the last decade, with increasing organisational ambition and a more complex operating environment. Alongside core grant-making activities, the organisation has developed new programmes, partnerships and ways of working that require a more strategic approach to technology and data. While many systems and processes work well individually, the organisation is now seeking someone who can create a joined-up digital strategy that supports its long-term goals.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, Investments and Resources, you will lead the Foundation's digital, data and technology transformation programme. You will define and deliver a multi-year roadmap, oversee key technology and systems projects, and build digital capability across the organisation. Most importantly, you will help colleagues embrace change and ensure digital becomes part of how the organisation thinks and works every day.

This role offers a rare combination of strategic influence and practical delivery. The successful candidate will shape major decisions around systems, data, AI and organisational capability, whilst also working closely with colleagues to ensure solutions are adopted, embedded and delivering measurable benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and delivery of the Foundation's digital, data and technology strategy and transformation roadmap.
• Drive organisation-wide improvements in systems, processes, data management and digital capability.
• Lead digital transformation projects from concept through to implementation and adoption.
• Champion effective use of technology, including Microsoft 365 tools, collaboration platforms and emerging AI opportunities.
• Build strong relationships across the organisation and act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and stakeholders.
• Support colleagues through change by providing leadership, communication, training and coaching.
• Manage suppliers, consultants and implementation partners to ensure successful delivery of digital initiatives.
• Line manage the IT and Data Compliance Manager and provide strategic oversight of digital operations and governance.
• Create a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and digital confidence.

About You
We're keen to hear from candidates who have successfully led digital transformation programmes and understand that meaningful change is ultimately about people as much as technology.
You might currently be a Head of Digital, Head of Transformation, Digital Programme Lead, Technology Transformation Leader or similar, and will likely bring:

• A proven track record of leading organisation-wide digital transformation initiatives.
• Experience developing and delivering digital strategies and multi-year transformation roadmaps.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility at all levels.
• Experience leading change, improving adoption of technology and developing digital capability across teams.
• The confidence to operate strategically whilst remaining hands-on when required.
• Strong project, programme and supplier management experience.
• The ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical, engaging and accessible conversations.
• A collaborative and relationship-focused approach, combined with resilience, pragmatism and curiosity.

The Foundation is particularly interested in candidates who can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery, and who understand how to introduce change at a pace that brings people with them rather than leaving them behind.

What's on Offer?
Salary: £67,000 - £70,000 per annum
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week (Part Time considered)
Contract: Permanent
Location: Hybrid, Attendance is expected at least 1 day per week in the Kings Cross office, but with some variation.

Working closely with the CEO, Senior Leadership Team and Board of Trustees, the postholder will play a central role in delivering our current strategic priorities and shaping the next chapter of Sister System as we develop our future strategy beyond September 2027. 

This is a significant opportunity to help shape a growing, values-led organisation founded on co-curation, sisterhood, race & gender equity and the belief that girls and young women should be active architects of the services, systems and opportunities designed for them. With oversight of financial management, people and culture, compliance, risk and organisational infrastructure, the Director of Operations will lead on empowering & ensuring that our internal culture and ways of working reflect the same care, accountability, ambition and empowerment that sit at the heart of our model. 

The role will be instrumental in translating our founding vision into strong, sustainable practice, ensuring Sister System is equipped to grow its impact while remaining deeply connected to the voices, experiences and leadership of the girls and young women we exist to serve. 

Our Charity:
Sister System exists to ensure that care-affected girls and young women are not defined by the systems they have experienced, but are supported to recognise their strengths, shape their futures and access the same opportunities as their peers. 

Our culturally competent, co-curated model works alongside girls and young women aged 13–24 through a long-term journey of support, progression and leadership. Across three interconnected stages, we provide trusted relationships, mentoring, therapeutic support, education, leadership development and pathways into employment. Our approach recognises that meaningful change takes time, consistency and a community that continues to believe in her. 

Founded with girls and young women, not simply for them, Sister System places their voices, experiences and ambitions at the heart of everything we do. Through our growing hub-and-spoke model, we are expanding our reach while also influencing the wider systems, services and institutions that shape their lives. 

Our ambition is not only to improve individual outcomes, but to demonstrate a better way of working with care-affected girls and young women—one that is relational, culturally responsive, asset-based and built around what they tell us they need to thrive. 

As Sister System enters its next phase of growth and prepares to shape its future strategy, we are seeking an experienced and values-led Director of Operations to join our Senior Leadership Team. This is an exciting opportunity to strengthen the people, culture, systems and infrastructure that will enable our organisation—and the girls and young women alongside us—to achieve even more.

To bridge the gap between care-affected girls and young women within mainstream society by working alongside them to ensure they have the same opportunities that everyone else has – at home, school, work and within our communities. 

Our Values: 

• COLLABORATIVE 
  We co-curate programmes with our Sis-Stars. We seek powerful partnerships. 
• EVIDENCE-BASED 
  We build trust and respect within our sector. 
• MASTERFUL 
  We aim for excellence as standard and share our learning. 
• SOLUTION-FOCUSED 
  We innovate to overcome challenges with a long-term goal in mind. 
• TENACIOUS 
  We are not afraid to take a stand and push for change.

 Reports to: Chief Executive

Finance isn't just about numbers. It's about making change possible.

At Bond, we believe a more just and equitable world is possible.

As the UK network for organisations working in international development, we bring together more than 300 civil society organisations united by a shared ambition: to tackle poverty, inequality and injustice around the world. We champion the sector, influence policy, strengthen organisations and create the connections that enable our members to achieve greater impact together.

International development is changing.

Funding is becoming more complex. Expectations are growing. Organisations are navigating increasing uncertainty while responding to global crises that demand collaboration, innovation and resilience.

That is why we're looking for an exceptional Director of Finance & Resources.

This is a rare opportunity to join our Senior Management Team and help shape the future of Bond at a pivotal moment in our journey.

A leadership role with purpose

As our Director of Finance & Resources, you'll do far more than lead finance.

You'll help ensure Bond remains financially resilient, operationally strong and strategically focused so that we can continue supporting the organisations working to create lasting global change.

Working closely with our CEO, Trustees and senior colleagues, you'll provide the financial leadership, organisational insight and strategic challenge that enables confident decision-making across the organisation.

You'll oversee Finance, Planning, Operations, HR and IT, ensuring the systems, people and financial governance behind our work are as strong as the mission we exist to serve.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead:

• Our long-term financial strategy and organisational planning.
• Annual budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting.
• Financial sustainability across both restricted and unrestricted funding.
• Board reporting and support to our Finance, Audit & Risk Committee.
• Risk management, company secretarial and organisational compliance.
• Finance, Operations and HR leadership.
• Grant budgeting, reporting and organisational cost recovery.
• Strategic planning that enables teams to maximise their impact.

This is a role for someone equally comfortable presenting to Trustees, supporting colleagues with complex funding proposals, reviewing organisational risk, or rolling up their sleeves to solve operational challenges.

Who we're looking for

You're an experienced finance leader who understands that great organisations need both strong financial stewardship and ambitious thinking.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with senior leadership experience and an ability to balance strategic oversight with practical delivery.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading finance within a complex organisation.
• Strong understanding of charity finance and grant management.
• Experience working with Boards and Trustees.
• Outstanding planning, analytical and leadership skills.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build trusted relationships across an organisation.

Most importantly, you'll share our commitment to equity, inclusion and creating positive change. We're looking for someone who sees finance not as a control function, but as a catalyst for organisational impact.

Why Bond?

Everything we do is rooted in collaboration.

You'll join an organisation that believes lasting change happens when people come together, share expertise and challenge one another to do better.

Alongside meaningful work, we offer:

• Hybrid working with flexibility built around trust.
• 27 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, a day off for your birthday and additional Christmas closure.
• 7% employer pension contribution.
• Learning and development opportunities.
• Comprehensive health and wellbeing support.
• A welcoming, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone can thrive.

Join us

This is more than a finance leadership role. It's an opportunity to help strengthen the organisations working to build a fairer, more sustainable world.

If you're looking for a role where your financial expertise can support meaningful change on a national and global scale, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a supporting statement explaining why you'd like to join Bond and what you'll bring to the role.

We are partnering exclusively with Bryony Thomas at Allen Lane. For an informal conversation about the role, get in touch via the agency website.
