Length of Contract: 12 months fixed, initially
Job Details
We are seeking an experienced, highly organised and proactive Operations Manager to play a central role in keeping our London office running smoothly and supporting our wider team and organisation. The ideal candidate will have strong liberal instincts and support our mission to defend civil liberties in the UK.
This is a varied and hands-on role with responsibility across multiple operational areas, ensuring everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. It is a new role to the organisation, initially offered as a 12 month fixed term contract, with the possibility of extension.
Why join Big Brother Watch?
- A genuinely flexible, part-time role designed to support work-life balance
- A dynamic, successful and friendly team in a supportive working environment
- The opportunity to take ownership of an important and varied role
- The chance to contribute to an organisation at the forefront of defending freedom in the UK
- 16 hours per work, with flexibility as to how these are worked
- We’re open to a range of working patterns (e.g. school hours, shorter days across the week, or compressed hours, potentially variations across term times / school holidays)
- Hybrid working, in practice will likely require min. 50% office attendance
The rest of our team works full time in-office. However, for this particular part-time role we aim to agree on a working pattern that provides consistency and predictability while fitting around your other commitments. We particularly welcome applications from experienced candidates returning to work after a career break, including parents and carers.
About you
You’ll have strong experience managing or co-ordinating a busy office or operational environment. You’ll be confident in taking on tasks proactively, looking for ways to plan ahead to ensure smooth operational running and improved efficiency, and independently finding solutions. You’ll have excellent communication skills, liaising with all team members and providing the team with essential operational support as needed. You’ll have good IT office skills.
