Executive Operations Manager

This is initially a 12-month fixed-term role, with the potential to extend subject to funding and organisational requirements.

Are you exceptionally organised, confident working with senior leaders and someone who enjoys making sure everything behind the scenes works as it should?

Do you enjoy bringing order to competing priorities, improving the way things work and being the person others can rely on to keep things moving?

Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change (CN4C) is looking for an Executive Operations Manager to join our Resources Team and play a central role in supporting the effective running of our organisation.

This is much more than a traditional PA or administration role. You'll work closely with our CEO and Executive Team and support our Board of Trustees, with responsibilities spanning executive support, governance, HR administration, finance administration and organisational projects.

You’ll be at the heart of the organisation - helping turn plans into action, keeping important processes on track and making sure our leaders, Trustees and wider team have the information and support they need to do their best work.
