Programme Manager for Mission-led Organisation

£35,000 - £40,000

Job No. 1331447

Location: South East England (largely remote with London meetings a few times a month)

Are you an organised, proactive Programme or Project Manager who thrives in purpose‑driven environments? Do you enjoy bringing structure to complex work, coordinating multiple stakeholders, and turning ideas into practical delivery? This newly created role sits at the heart of a mission‑led organisation working on some of today’s most pressing societal challenges.

We’re looking for someone who is energised by people, learning, and positive change — ideally with experience in training, charities, leadership development, consultancy, or transformation programmes.

The Role

You’ll play a central role in supporting a major multi‑year programme focused on social impact, alongside wider organisational initiatives. This includes:

• Owning and maintaining programme plans, milestones, timelines and delivery rhythms

• Building simple, effective project management systems and ways of working

• Tracking progress, risks and decisions — ensuring nothing stalls

• Coordinating internal and external contributors

• Holding and reporting on programme budgets

• Preparing stakeholder updates, slide decks and briefing materials

• Supporting CRM development and maintaining high‑quality data

• Managing communications, invites, follow‑ups and participant engagement

• Leading the planning and delivery of events, workshops and convenings

• Supporting marketing activity, including social media and content coordination

• Keeping meetings, agendas, notes and action tracking running smoothly

This is a hands‑on role for someone who enjoys creating clarity, bringing calm to complexity, and acting as a reliable centre of gravity across a busy set of moving parts.

About You

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Have strong programme/project management experience across multiple workstreams

• Are confident managing budgets and reporting on spend/forecast

• Build structure that others actually use

• Are comfortable with CRM systems and maintaining accurate data

• Communicate clearly in writing and in person

• Are proactive, detail‑oriented and good at spotting what’s missing

• Enjoy turning ambiguity into a practical plan

• Care about high‑quality outputs — plans, decks, comms, events

• Are relational, responsive and collaborative

Experience working with funders, partners or cross‑sector stakeholders is a bonus.

Working Arrangements

• Largely remote, with flexibility

• Must be based in South East England and able to travel to London a few times a month

• Full‑time, with flexibility to support occasional global time zones

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be joining a team committed to making the world a better place — tackling systemic challenges through collaboration, leadership, and long‑term thinking. This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful, high‑impact work while shaping a programme that is still evolving and growing.
