With a shared responsibility for the organisational capability, this role ensures that we continue to evolve according to its strategic direction and intent.

Essential Skills:

  • Have the right to work in the UK and reside within a commutable distance to our London office in Bethnal Green.

  • Experience on working on raising funds, preferentially for agricultural supply chain programmes.
  • Proven experience of delivering strategic leadership with a management team.
  • Knowledge of human rights-based approach to impact delivery (and in a supply chain setting would be an advantage).
  • Knowledge of corporate social and environmental sustainability, understanding of the concept of Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence, and understanding of certification schemes such as Rainforest Alliance, and Fairtrade.
  • Clear ability to segment the large funding landscape into the various component parts.
  • Experienced senior manager – building, developing, and motivating diverse and high performing teams.
  • Experience working on global projects and with people from different backgrounds and cultures and prepared to travel overseas.
  • A belief in the power of business to create positive change.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, open to coaching and collaborative teamwork.

Desirable:

  • A university degree in a related field and/or Masters
