About the role
We are currently recruiting for an Operations Manager.
We are seeking a dynamic, proactive and energetic Operations Manager to lead our programmes and operations. Groundwork Wales is the community charity with the green heart.
Operations Manager (deputising for the CEO)
Groundwork Wales is seeking an ambitious, results-driven leader to oversee the successful delivery, growth and performance of our programmes and services across the region. This is a pivotal leadership role for someone who thrives on achieving outcomes, developing people and ensuring high-quality delivery against ambitious targets.
You will provide operational leadership across a diverse portfolio of community, environmental and enterprising programmes, ensuring they achieve measurable impact, financial sustainability and contractual performance requirements. You will lead and coach a dedicated team of staff, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement and high performance. Rather than simply managing activity, you will focus on achieving outcomes, removing barriers, supporting problem solving and enabling teams to perform at their best. You’ll also work as part of the Senior Leadership Team. You will use data, performance information and impact evidence to drive decision-making, improve delivery and demonstrate value to funders, commissioners and partners.
Key responsibilities
- Lead, motivate and coach programme teams to achieve and exceed performance targets
- Ensure we deliver measurable outcomes and positive impact for communities and the environment
- Drive a culture of accountability, continuous improvement and solution-focused leadership
- Monitor organisational performance, identifying risks, opportunities and corrective actions where required
- Oversee programme budgets and resources, ensuring strong financial management and value for money
- Produce high-quality reports and impact data for funders and the CEO
The post is based at our Pontllanfraith office. Some home working may be agreed - regular office attendance to work with team members will be required.
Pay: Up to £38,192.00 per year
