We’re the Football Foundation – the Premier League, The FA and Government's charity that helps communities improve their local football facilities through football grants. This means better games and more players - helping transform communities where demand is greatest, and impact will be strongest. We have ambitious plans and with the support from our funding partners, the Football Foundation is well-supported to continue to invest in community pitches and facilities across the nation. 

The role

The Director of Programmes will play a pivotal role in the strategic leadership and management of our Programmes Directorate. Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will help shape the strategic direction of our key programmes and new business opportunities, driving meaningful progress and measurable results.

As a member of our Senior Management Team (SMT), you will support the CEO in steering the organisation towards continuous improvement and success, serving as a trusted adviser to the Foundation Group Board and Panels, and contributing to the Foundation’s overall strategic vision.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a dynamic and visionary leader with a deep understanding of sport, community projects, government strategies, and funding opportunities, underpinned by expertise in participatory sports development. You will bring extensive leadership experience, demonstrating a proven ability to manage performance, balance workloads, and foster positive, supportive team environments. Your skill in navigating multi-stakeholder environments will be essential, ensuring objectives are met, expectations are managed, and performance insights are communicated clearly and effectively.

With a track record of driving key strategies, leading impactful projects, and optimising resources for success, you will translate our organisational strategy into ambitious programmes that inspire partner collaboration and deliver tangible results. You will oversee the management and delivery of our core strategic initiatives, including grass pitches, multisport advisory services, and multi-pitch hubs, ensuring these programmes consistently meet and surpass their goals.

Building on your expertise in designing and delivering innovative programmes, you will take a lead role in developing tech-enabled post-award processes to ensure that grant awards achieve their full potential. By maximising the impact of our funding partners’ significant contributions, you will play a pivotal role in driving the long-term success and sustainability of our shared initiatives.

This is a unique opportunity to shape meaningful programmes that make a lasting difference, working within a collaborative and forward-thinking organisation dedicated to positive change.
