AddressSalary: £90,000-£100,000
Power to Change is the independent trust that strengthens communities through community businesses. Our vision is that more communities in England run businesses that give them the Power to Change what matters to them. They create more resilient places that are better to live and work in for everyone. Our purpose, the reason Power to Change exists, is to shape the conditions for community business to thrive.
Power to Change will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2025, a real milestone for an organisation that was initially envisaged as a time-limited, spend-down organisation. The changing context - Covid-19 and a cost of living squeeze putting pressure on community businesses and the services they offer to their communities - has led our Board of Trustees and many community businesses with whom we’ve engaged to conclude that ‘the job is not done’. This is why we are now working to a refreshed purpose: shaping the conditions for community business to thrive, working in partnership with others and alongside community businesses themselves.
We are looking to appoint a new Chief Operating Officer to create and shape the conditions for Power to Change to thrive. You will bring an approach to business development that delivers a sustainable income for Power to Change and captures the entrepreneurial nature of the organisation. You will also develop and implement an operating model that enables effective and appropriate ways of delivering on our ambitions. As a member of the executive leadership team, you will have responsibility for operational resources to deliver on the strategy, including finance, people and culture, and organisation services.
You will bring significant experience in developing and monitoring business plans and strategic plans and budgets, developing and implementing efficient and effective systems and processes, and building an enabling culture that fosters openness and empowers decision-making across the organisation.
