Executive Projects and Operations Officer (2-year fixed term initially)

War on Want works to challenge the root causes of poverty, inequality, and injustice through partnership with social movements in the Global South and by running hard-hitting campaigns in the UK in support of radical change.

We are looking for an Executive Projects and Operations Officer who is able to work in a fast paced and demanding role to support the organisation, the board and the Senior Management team in conducting its duties more efficiently and effectively. A high level of professionalism and confidentiality is crucial.

With knowledge and experience gained from working in other executive assistant or organisational officer roles, we are looking for someone to step in and take charge of the role quickly to start making maximum contributions right from the start. It is also expected that the post holder will assist in helping to deliver a busy roster of events including our upcoming War on Want conference. This newly created role will be instrumental for harmonising the overall health of the organisation, supporting the board, senior management team and staff to ensure the whole team can deliver on its objectives with maximum effectiveness. Balancing multiple projects and managing internal communications on key organisational priorities is key to the success of the role.

This role follows a hybrid working arrangement, reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations. It is a very varied and multi-dimensional position, exposing the right individual to the conversations and thinking of the most senior members of the organisation. The role will involve working with colleagues across the organisation.
