Job description

FOUNDING CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

Build the Engine of a Movement That Will Change Lives

Loneliness is one of the quietest crises of our time. Every day, people walk through London feeling unseen, unheard, and disconnected — not because they are alone, but because they don’t feel like they belong.

SUNSHINE was created to change that.

Born from a deeply personal promise that nobody should have to face loneliness alone, SUNSHINE is building a movement where connection becomes a lifeline and belonging becomes a right.

We’re searching for a Founding Chief Operating Officer — a compassionate, visionary leader who wants to help build this organisation from the ground up.

This isn’t an ordinary volunteer role. This is the chance to architect a future where thousands of people find friendship, hope and community.

Your Mission

As our Founding COO, you will:

  • Shape the day‑to‑day heartbeat of SUNSHINE.

  • Turn ideas into action and vision into reality.

  • Build systems, processes and foundations that will last for generations.

  • Work closely with our Founder to bring SUNSHINE’s promise to life.

Who You Are

You’re reliable, collaborative, organised and full of heart. You don’t need decades of charity experience — just a belief that kindness can change the world.

Why This Matters

  • Because every system you build…
  • Every process you design…
  • Every decision you help shape…

Will directly help someone feel seen, valued and connected.

 

If you’re ready to help build something meaningful — something that will outlive all of us — we’d be honoured to welcome you.

Join SUNSHINE.

Help build a future where nobody faces loneliness alone.
