Women's Rights Jobs

Hybrid working, with primary location at our London office

This is an exciting time for the WI, as we are planning the next stages of our strategy and building on our strategic vision launched in 2020 – to be bold and inspiring, growing and relevant, flexible and inclusive. We are proud to say that we continue to be the largest and most influential UK-based women’s organisation, with over 180,000 members. Our campaigns push for change on the issues that matter to women and their communities, and we have been a powerful voice throughout our 108-year history on issues from equal pay for women to protecting the environment from pollution. Today we continue to support and empower women to campaign to tackle climate change, for more awareness of mental health and to end violence against women. The WI has a track record of achieving real change on a huge range of issues, and this record of action shows that we are as relevant today as we were in 1915 when we began.

The National Federation of Women’s Institutes (the NFWI) is responsible for running the organisation and provides support and advice to members at both regional and local levels. The NFWI also works with the Denman Trust to fulfil its charitable objectives and implement a comprehensive educational programme of courses and activities, both online and in person, to WI members and non-members.

As a staff team, our strength is in trusting and engaging each other. We champion flexibility and inclusion, having implemented a bold hybrid model that supports a good work life balance and wellbeing, whilst at the same time allows the charity to flourish and do our best for our members.

About the role

In this senior leadership position, you will manage the WI Enterprises team in maximising revenue and achieving key financial targets. Coordinating trading activities such as our membership magazine WI Life, launching new initiatives and forging corporate partnerships, you will use your skills and experience to secure funding and drive financial growth for WIE and the WI.

Notably, you will obtain substantial sponsorship for key projects, develop far-reaching marketing strategies and raise the profile of our learning organisation Denman. At the same time, you will actively develop the team across WI Enterprises, draft the annual business plan and budget, and set clear and ambitious performance targets before ensuring their attainment. Above all, you will foster a culture of innovation and high achievement, where every colleague is focused on results and has the skills to make things happen.

About you

Experienced in managing sales teams and leading commercial operations, you will combine a track record within the publishing or editorial sector with innate flair for negotiating contracts and agreements.  You will need to be adept at creating budgets and business plans, skilled in identifying and pursuing successful revenue streams, and familiar with using data to inform strategic decision-making. Confident reporting and presenting at Board level, as well as networking and engaging with stakeholders at all levels, you will have a demonstratable understanding of marketing and fundraising within the charity sector.

Although experience within the voluntary sector, or a membership organisation would be beneficial, it’s your commercial acumen, deep understanding of financial management and innate ability to forge profitable partnerships and build effective relationships that will be key to your success.

About Five Talents 

Since we began, Five Talents has supported over 290,000 families globally to grow their incomes and provide for their families. We work in partnership with local organisations in east and central Africa to set up Savings Groups through which members can take small loans. Alongside Savings Group development, members also participate in literacy, numeracy, money management and business skills training. Consequently, members develop small businesses enabling families to send their children to school, visit the clinic when they are sick and become more resilient to crises such as drought or Coronavirus. Our role is to enable them to be ‘agents of their own change’ and equip the Groups to continue operating independently long after Five Talents’ support ends. 

Five Talents has grown its income significantly over recent years despite the global and domestic challenges throughout that period, and we are determined to scale up even further. We know demand for our programmes will be higher than ever as communities seek to re-build their businesses and communities, and build resilience to drought and food insecurity. 

We are the Anglican Church's microfinance charity, founded as a Christian response to global poverty - but of course people of all faiths (and none) join our programmes.

About this role 

We are looking for someone who is passionate about international development to join our small Five Talents team to help us achieve our ambitious goals, and particularly to support our Trusts Fundraising team.

We respect and value diversity of background, skills and perspectives within our teams. We are committed to conscious inclusion that helps build connection and shared purpose across the team. We believe that the more diverse we are, the better we become and we seek a range of voices and perspectives to enrich all that we do. 

We understand that our colleagues have commitments and personal interests outside of work and we strive to build a flexible working environment, in which people can perform at their best. We are happy to discuss flexible working options for all roles. 

We work to ensure that our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible to everyone. This includes making adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition. If you would like us to make adjustments during the application process, please let us know.
