The Tudor Trust is a philanthropic foundation 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.

As we continue our transformative journey and the process of making new grants, we are excited to appoint our first Head of Programmes to join the Tudor Trust. This appointment will complete the rebuild of a new Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

This role requires a facilitative leader who understands the importance of bringing out the best in your team, which is currently made up of four people and is likely to grow further. You will guide the programme team as they go deeper into developing strategic and equitable funding practices that empower communities and drive systemic change. The Head of Programmes will also act as a bridge between internal teams and external partners, understanding ways in which we can maximise on our collective knowledge to build more power-sensitive relationships between funders and grantee partners. Your leadership will help create a culture of curiosity, learning, and inclusivity, ensuring the Trust remains agile and reflective in response to the evolving needs of communities we serve. 

As a member of the SLT, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the Trust, ensuring alignment between our funding practices, the change we seek, and organisational goals.  You will work closely with and in collaboration with the Head of Finance & Resources and Head of People & Culture with a shared responsibility for delivering projects and embedding a coaching approach to how we empower all our staff.  You will also work closely with the CEO and the Board to ensure that the grant-making aligns with the wider work, particularly as it relates to our investments.

We very much encourage you to read our recruitment pack and consider this newly designed 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.

We also provide user support within a wide range of areas, including migrations, reporting, compliance and governance.

Reporting to the DARS Data & Migrations Team Lead, you will assist with important data-related inquiries, work on reporting and analysis of data quality issues on DARS, and provide expert guidance to existing and newly-migrated teams on the best ways to assure and maintain the quality of their data. The role will also involve supporting the building of and transition to a new CRM system and the delivery of future data migration projects. Your contribution will be essential for the effectiveness of the activities supporting Development (fundraising) and Alumni Relations across the University of Oxford.

You should have a passion for data and be committed to understanding the information needs of system users. You will also be a team player with the ability to work independently towards meeting deadlines, to communicate effectively, and to adopt an assertive approach to problem solving. Other key requirements are a high level of attention to detail, and excellent data management and analytical skills.

We offer a challenging and fulfilling working environment with a wealth of opportunities to develop your professional skills, including the opportunity to help design and build a new CRM platform, and to explore the use of AI to support the University’s fundraising goals.
