Operations and Contracts Manager
The Operations & Contracts Manager is a new role at Bite Back and will lead our general operations support function to the team. We are a relatively new non-profit, established in 2019, and have now grown to a staff team of nearly 30 people with a turnover of £2.3 million.
Bite Back was initially housed within the umbrella of our founder’s company, the Jamie Oliver Group, and in the past 18 months we have decoupled our finances and operations and become a fully independent non-profit. We have further work to do to strengthen our operations as we seek to grow further and this role will be critical to this independence. We are increasingly receiving restricted funds and contracts for service and expect this type of funding to grow this year.
It is an exciting time for an operations professional to join the team and be involved in the strategic and operational development ahead at Bite Back.
The ideal candidate would have the following experience:
-
Comprehensive knowledge of CRM and project management software packages, with experience procuring and implementing them across diverse uses.
-
Demonstrated track record of implementing operational solutions in a non-profit setting, ability to influence people internally, analyse complex information and present it in a usable, appealing format for colleagues.
-
Strong understanding of the compliance and regulatory needs of UK charities.
-
Effective communication skills, including written, and the ability to convey complex information to an audience.
-
Technology minded, someone who loves tech solutions and the way they can bring efficiencies and enhanced effectiveness to organisations, removing bottlenecks and supporting growth.
-
Solutions focused with a proven track record in charity management and a good understanding of the environment in which charities operate.
-
Some experience of operationalising health and safety practices.
-
Understanding of data protection and GDPR regulations and how to operationalise good practice across multiple teams.
-
Good understanding of the principles underpinning good contract and procurement management.
Please apply with a CV and covering statement (maximum two sides of A4) explaining why you are a good candidate for this position.
The covering statement is your opportunity to tell us why you’re a good fit for this role. We know it’s a big job so we don’t expect you to have everything we are asking for on day one and we are committed to providing support and training. Do look at each point under Skills and Experience and Approach to Work to give clear, specific examples of how you meet them through your personal or professional experience (volunteering counts too!) Don’t forget to tell us why you want the job!
