BFBI is seeking an experienced, independent operator to build the operational backbone that our recent growth demands. You'll report directly to our Executive Director and lead operations for a growing team of contractors.
This isn't a maintenance role. Many of the systems and processes we need don't exist yet — you'll be building them from scratch, not just running what's already in place. One month you might be redesigning our budgeting process; the next you're chasing an invoice or prepping Board papers.
What you'll be doing:
- Building the systems, processes and infrastructure BFBI needs to scale
- Leading financial management, budgeting and grant funding — including proactively identifying new funding opportunities
- Supporting people, governance, compliance and Board processes
- Supporting programme delivery and the development of new initiatives
What we're looking for:
- Proven senior operations experience, ideally building processes from scratch
- A strong, independent operator who takes ownership and delivers reliably
- Comfort moving between strategic thinking and hands-on admin
- CRM (HubSpot) and accounting software (Sage) experience a plus
NB: Fully remote, must be based in Ireland
Contractor role — 12 days per month
