Operations Manager

The Tudor Trust is a philanthropic organisation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller organisations across the UK. Holding an endowment of around £250m, our annual commitment to grants historically has averaged £20m.

Following a transition from a family foundation to one that is independently led by a new board of trustees, we are bridging to a strategy with greater emphasis on racial justice. Our definition of racial justice is a vision for a world that moves beyond racism and racial inequities to one where inclusive communities thrive in all our systems and structures. We believe this is the foundation for tackling all forms of injustice, including economic, environmental and social.

About the role

The Finance and Operations Manager plays a central role in ensuring that the Tudor Trust operates smoothly and efficiently, providing essential financial management and operational support. Reporting to the Head of Finance and Resources, you will lead on the day-to-day financial processes, including managing payments, maintaining accurate records, and preparing financial reports to support decision-making.

In addition to finance, this role oversees the operational functioning of our hybrid workplace. From managing the building and IT systems like SharePoint, to ensuring seamless logistics for team and trustee days, workshops, and events, your work will be integral to creating an environment where our team can thrive. You will also take responsibility for facilities management, procurement, and compliance with health and safety regulations, ensuring the smooth running of our office and operations.

As part of our evolving organisation, you will have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful change initiatives and implement efficient processes, working closely with the Head of Finance and Resources to adapt and grow within the role.

We very much encourage you to read our recruitment pack and consider this role. We are genuinely open minded about the right candidate. In all our roles we have encouraged applications from people who are ready for a stretch, and we are committed to personal and professional development to ensure that everyone at Tudor is well supported.
