Round Our Way is looking for a Head of Programmes to work closely with our Co-Directors. This role will hold day-to-day responsibility for managing and driving a range of core projects, , build and sustain relationships with partners and stakeholders across the climate and politics, and deputise for the Co-Directors in external meetings, coalitions and partnerships.
The role calls for someone who is both a strategic thinker and has a strong track record of delivery. We are looking for a candidate who brings the experience and credibility to represent Round Our Way at a senior level, alongside the drive and hands-on capability to take projects from conception through to completion. Strong writing, sound judgement and the ability to manage competing priorities is essential.
We are looking for candidates who will revel in the flexibility and dynamism our small organisation provides while being prepared to roll up their sleeves. We’d love for this to be a role where someone can drive things forward but can also shape and expand the role itself, showing leadership within the organisation and externally, and creating creative opportunities for the role and for the organisation. For our people no ambition is too great, no task too small.
