For seven years, one exceptional leader has held impact, organisational development and much of YUAF''s operations, building the processes, funder relationships and team support that became part of the spine of how we grew. As they move on, we''re not just replacing them. We''re rethinking and widening the role. This post exists to hold the organisation steady and take operational responsibility off the Chief Executive''s plate, freeing her to focus on strategy, key donors and the funding pipeline. What you''ll hold You''ll report to the Chief Executive and sit on the Senior Management Team, owning income generation, impact and evidence, business planning, governance, performance management and the systems underneath them all. You''ll line-manage four people: the Pathways Lead, Marketing Lead, Project Manager and Futures Lead. Where the role is going From month seven, this role is intended to move to full time with deeper ownership of income and strategy. As YUAF grows, and subject to income generation, we want this post to develop into our Chief Operating Officer role. We''d rather appoint someone who outgrows this description than someone who fits it exactly. How you''ll start The first six months are a settling period at 30 hours per week. You''ll learn how the organisation actually works, get embedded in the culture, and understand ..... full job details .....
