    Operations Director - Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom - Canterbury Oast Trust

    Default job background
    Description

    An opportunity to join COT, an ambitious charity supporting adults with learning disabilities, in a pivotal Director of Commercial Operations position.

    As part of a recently appointed senior leadership team, you'll drive the modernisation of the organisation, focusing on commercial and business development strategies to drive income growth, and profitability of their working farm and associated visitor attraction.

    In addition, you'll take the lead with strategic management of the charity's estate and with health and safety initiatives, supported by a Head of Estates and Facilities.

    The role is ideal for an ambitious commercial leader, motivated to make an impact in an ambitious charity. Candidates with previous experience in the retail sector (whether for-profit, or within another charity) would be particularly welcomed.

    Main Responsibilities
    Commercial development and Income Growth
    Operational leadership
    Strategic leadership of estate and facilities
    Lead ESG initiatives

    About you
    Previous experience in a senior leadership role, including financial management and resource allocation responsibilities
    Strong commercial acumen with proven experience of driving growth and maximising revenue
    Experience of overseeing complex operational environments
    Motivated to make an impact to the lives of those supported by the charity - but previous experience in this area is not essential
    Collaborative and pragmatic leadership style
    Demonstrated commitment to ensuring inclusivity and accessibility

    COT is built on acceptance, respect, and inclusion, where everyone feels that they belong and can make a meaningful contribution.

    We encourage applicants regardless of religion, ethnicity, nationality, disability status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, family, or parental status. If you need any assistance or accommodation during the recruitment process, please let us know.

    We'd be delighted if you tick off all our boxes, but we also believe it's just as important we tick all of yours.

    If you think you have most of what we're looking for but not everything, go ahead and apply. We'd still love to hear from you
