Poverty and inequality are the greatest challenges Scotland faces. The Poverty Alliance is working to create a wide
coalition that can bring about real change. As our network in Scotland continues to grow, we have created a new
role in our senior management team to support and manage the sustained development of our organisation.
As a result of the continued growth and development of the Poverty Alliance, we have created the post of Director of
Operations. This is an important new development for the Poverty Alliance, one that will play a key role in
ensuring we have the resources and policies in place to enable us to deliver on our purpose of supporting the
prevention and reduction of poverty by building a strong network that influences policy and changes
practice.
We are looking for someone who has significant experience at a senior leadership level, with a sound understanding of
operational management and project and service development. You will not only have experience in budgetary
management, but a strong track record in income generation. We will need someone who is focused on securing
ambitious outcomes and impact, particularly in a social change context.
The Director of Operations will play a critical role in continuing to develop our approach to agile working and will
have experience of ensuring continuous improvement and innovation is at the heart of organisational development.
You will have commitment to inclusive working, and knowledge of policy and practice in relation to diversity,
inclusion and equality.
The Poverty Alliance is a values and mission driven organisation. We bring together hundreds of organisations who
share our desire to see an end to poverty, and a Scotland where everyone can flourish. If you share that desire
to bring about real social change, then we would love to hear from you.
