This maternity cover role will be responsible for the Lab's internal workings - people, culture, ways of working and operations. As an Executive level role, it will share overall responsibility for the Lab’s impact with the other members of the Exec (CEO, COO, Director of Programmes and Campaigns).

The role will be specifically responsible for:

The post-holder will work closely with the COO, who will be leading on finance and governance. Together, they will be responsible for drafting the plan for the Lab’s Operations function in 2026.

This post is a 13 month fixed term contract, running from mid-May 2025 to mid-June 2026.

LOCATION

The team work remotely for the majority of the time, but as this role is responsible for people and culture ideally you will be able to attend monthly ‘team together days’ in London (travel paid if outside of London area) as well as an annual two-night retreat elsewhere in the UK in November. However, we don’t want this to be a barrier to applicants, so you can let us know at the interview stage if this would not be possible or will cause you challenges.

RESPONSIBILITIES

People: Ensure we recruit, retain, support and nourish a strong staff team and maintain a culture that reflects our values of ambition, collaboration and empowerment.

  • Lead implementation of the Lab’s people and human resources strategy (together with the COO), in line with our core values, to maximise the team’s contribution to our mission (including team structure and roles, recruitment, onboarding and retention, staff handbook, and professional development).

Help ensure that we live our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice, in general as well as in areas that fall under your remit.
  • Lead internal communications, ensuring that the team are informed about and involved in new developments as appropriate, including planning and coordinating team away days through the year.
  • Support effective management of staff: Line manage the Operations Manager. Support Heads of Programme and others to develop and manage staff and freelancers, ensuring that we treat all our people fairly and responsibly.

Operations: Oversee effective systems and support colleagues who manage those systems.

  • Oversee and support the Operations Manager to ensure that our core processes run smoothly; we have the infrastructure to support our growth, including office space and IT, and supplies; and that they are able to effectively support the programme team with reports, events and other projects.
  • Oversee the Lab’s fundraising process, including identifying and researching potential new funders, maintaining our overview of our fundraising pipeline, funder timelines, monthly priorities, and record keeping. Support the Lab team to manage funding proposals and coordinate the development of funding proposal budgets, working closely with programme leads. Ensure funding reporting requirements are met, including supporting programme leads to draft programme reports, and the Finance Manager to prepare financial reports.
  • Coordinate and oversee the Lab’s Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning and Planning system ensuring the team have what they need to complete the various elements, meet deadlines, and get the most out of the process. [RSS1] 
  • Ensure high standards of information management across the organisation, enabling staff to share and access resources, insights and know-how.
