This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys improving systems, solving problems and turning data into meaningful insight. As the organisation's lead for Salesforce, you'll play a central role in ensuring our CRM supports colleagues across delivery, partnerships, and engagement.
You'll take ownership of the day-to-day administration, development and continuous improvement of Salesforce, helping colleagues get the very best from the system while identifying opportunities to improve processes, reduce manual administration and strengthen organisational reporting.

You'll work with colleagues across the organisation to improve data quality, develop meaningful dashboards and reports, and ensure information is used to support better decisions, stronger programmes and greater organisational learning.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, building relationships and helping others embrace better ways of working. You'll be equally comfortable discussing system improvements with colleagues, analysing data to identify trends and opportunities, and translating technical information into practical solutions that make a real difference.
This is a role for someone who wants to combine technical expertise with social purpose. If you enjoy making systems work better and want your work to contribute to improving outcomes for young Londoners, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll bring
You'll have experience leading and improving a CRM system (Salesforce), fixing bugs and issues, developing reporting and dashboards, improving data quality and supporting colleagues to make better use of systems and information. Most importantly, you'll enjoy solving problems, working collaboratively and continuously improving how an organisation uses CRM and data to achieve its mission.

The Youth Endowment Fund
Programme Delivery Manager - Change Team
Reports to: Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager
Salary: £42,000
Location: Central London or Hybrid
Contract: 2-year fixed term – potential to extend
Closing date: 9 am, Tuesday 14th July
Interview dates: 28th and 29th July
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding what works and working for change - scaling and spreading the practices that make a difference.
One of the most important things we do is turn evidence into action through our change programmes, working directly with schools, local leaders and services to change practice and prevent violence. To deliver these programmes well, we need clear plans, smooth commissioning and procurement processes, accurate data and strong coordination across teams and partners.
The Programme Delivery Manager role is critical to making that happen, and it has two distinct elements:
Programme management for two Change programmes: You’ll be the hands-on programme lead for two of our main change programmes. You’ll work closely with the Change delivery team to put clear, aligned plans in place and then brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when.
Commissioning and procurement support for the whole Change team: You’ll also be the go-to source of guidance and advice for Change colleagues who are procuring or commissioning other activity. You’ll help the team navigate processes correctly, ensuring commissioning is captured and maintained accurately in Salesforce and keep our ways of working consistent across the team. By keeping us organised and on track, you’ll help us maximise the impact of every pound we invest.
Key responsibilities
Your role has these two distinct but complementary elements. The first is hands-on programme management for two of our main Change programmes. The second is acting as a source of guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the wider Change team. Together, these responsibilities are essential to keeping our programmes on track and our commissioning processes running smoothly and consistently. A detailed list of your key responsibilities is given below:
1: Hands-on programme management for two Change programmes
-
Lead programme planning and coordination:
-
Work with the delivery team to make sure we have clear, aligned programme plans in place, with timelines, milestones and owners for every workstream.
-
Brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when, and that the team stays on track across multiple demanding workstreams.
-
Track dependencies and progress, flag risks to delivery early and coordinate solutions before issues become blockers.
2: Guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the Change team
-
Manage contracts and commissioning for delivery partners
-
Draft, prepare and execute agreements and subsequent variations with delivery partners and commissioned providers, using Adobe e-Sign where required.
-
Accurately input and maintain all programme data in Salesforce, including deliverables, financial commitments, payment schedules and supporting documents.
-
Ensure timely reporting and compliance with contractual requirements.
-
Resolve payment queries and discrepancies quickly, chasing outstanding invoices and reports where needed, and conduct regular data accuracy spot checks in Salesforce.
-
Support process improvements and ways of working
-
Work with the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager to keep the team’s commissioning and procurement processes consistent with YEF-wide ways of working.
-
Develop and maintain simple, effective tools for planning, tracking and reporting, building on the systems we already use (including Salesforce).
-
Identify and suggest process enhancements to drive efficiency and consistency across our programme and commissioning operations.
-
Enable effective communication and reporting
-
Serve as the central point of contact for programme delivery, commissioning and procurement requests across the team, ensuring streamlined processes and avoiding duplication.
-
Provide timely responses and clear communication to internal teams and external partners to keep everything moving.
-
Keep senior leadership informed with forward plans, dashboards and progress updates to support better strategic decisions.
About you
You’re this sort of person:
-
You’re highly organised and detail-oriented: You can manage multiple workstreams, plans and deadlines without losing sight of accuracy. You take pride in keeping programmes, systems and processes running smoothly.
-
You’re confident with systems and data: You’ve worked with CRM, project management or grant management platforms (ideally Salesforce) and understand the importance of data integrity. You’re comfortable creating, updating and checking records to ensure everything is correct.
-
You like getting things done: You’ve got a track record of making things happen and ensuring tasks are completed on time. You’re reliable and take ownership of your responsibilities.
-
You’re proactive and solution-focused: When something doesn’t match up, like a milestone, payment request or contract detail, you don’t just flag it, you work to resolve it quickly and effectively.
-
You’re brilliant at improving and organising things: You enjoy finding ways to make processes better and more efficient. You’re good at understanding how things work and making them work even better.
-
You’re a great communicator: You build strong relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders providing clear guidance and timely responses. People trust you to keep things moving.
-
You thrive in a support role: You like being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes. You’re motivated by helping teams work efficiently and keeping complex programmes on track.
-
You learn fast and adapt easily: You’re comfortable picking up new systems, processes and ways of working. You’re curious and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
-
You care about impact and inclusion: You want your work to make a difference in the community and are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in everything you do.
