We’re Looking for a Charity Operations Manager

Jun 03, 2026

We are looking for an organised, thoughtful and self-motivated person to help lead the next chapter of our work.

This is a rare opportunity to play a central role in a small charity with a global reach.

About Be One

Be One is a collective giving charity that funds grassroots projects in underserved communities around the world.

Our members each make an affordable monthly donation which, when combined, funds life-changing projects that help communities create lasting change for themselves and future generations.

Since 2011, Be One has raised more than £900,000 and supported projects benefiting over 800,000 people.

We operate a 100% donation model, meaning every pound donated by our members goes directly to project work. Our operational costs are covered separately by a network of generous business supporters.

The Role

The Charity Operations Manager is responsible for the day-to-day running of Be One.

This is a paid freelance, remote role with highly flexible hours, typically averaging around half a day per week. The workload varies throughout the year, with busier periods around campaigns, board meetings and grant application cycles.

The role is designed to fit alongside other work, consultancy projects, family commitments or semi-retirement and would suit someone who enjoys working independently while contributing to meaningful social impact.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Charity Operations Manager, you’ll work across a broad range of activities including:

Charity Operations & Administration

  • Managing the day-to-day administration of the charity
  • Maintaining records, trackers and shared systems
  • Coordinating key annual processes and deadlines

Charity Partnerships & Grants

  • Acting as the main point of contact for charity partners
  • Coordinating our grant application process
  • Arranging grant payments and maintaining project records

Governance & Reporting

  • Supporting trustee meetings and preparing minutes
  • Maintaining governance records and policies
  • Assisting with compliance and annual reporting

Communications

  • Preparing monthly member updates
  • Managing supporter communications
  • Publishing campaign updates and website content
  • Creating simple social media content

Business Supporters

  • Maintaining relationships with existing business supporters
  • Supporting outreach to prospective supporters
  • Helping grow awareness of the Be One Businesses programme

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Highly organised and reliable
  • Comfortable working independently
  • A clear and confident communicator
  • Accurate with records, details and deadlines
  • Confident using digital tools such as Google Workspace, Excel, Mailchimp, Canva and WordPress
  • Interested in grassroots charities, international development and collective giving

Previous experience in the charity sector is helpful but not essential. We are most interested in finding someone who shares our values and can bring enthusiasm, initiative and strong organisational skills to the role.

How to Apply

Please send your CV together with a short paragraph outlining:

  • Why you are interested in Be One

Applications close on Friday 19 June 2026.
