ABOUT CHARITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The best charities in the world have a huge impact. Charity Entrepreneurship is a startup incubator dedicated to getting more great nonprofits founded. Our organization conducts research to identify the most promising potential charitable interventions, then runs a training program that incubates 10+ evidence-based charities per year. Focus areas include animal advocacy, health policy, mental health, and family planning.
HOW YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Your role will be to lead the operations department and help Charity Entrepreneurship, and dozens of new charities, to run highly effectively. Many new organizations are slow to have an impact due to their struggle with the logistics of running an organization. A strong operations lead can make a huge difference, positively impacting the lives of thousands of animals and humans. You will also have a significant role in shaping the long-term operations team.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This role is diverse and challenging, requiring a problem solver’s mindset and strong attention to detail. Our organization is unconventional, and, as we help many different charities, the work ends up being highly diverse with often an unclear path forward. The Senior Operations Lead needs to excel under uncertainty and develop adequate solutions to a wide range of dilemmas.

Coordinating with multiple newly-founded charities to set up earlier-stage operations systems
Determining strategies for accommodation and living costs reimbursements for program attendees
Creating flexible, versatile systems that could be used by new charities in the future
Overseeing accounts and bookkeeping
Working with the CEO of Charity Entrepreneurship to oversee CE UK establishment as a legal entity and registered charity in the UK (to complement our existing Canadian and Indian charity registration)
Coordinating with the Charity Commission to secure charitable status and ensure ongoing compliance with the Charity Commission’s requirements
Given the relatively small size of our nonprofit, the ideal candidate would also have skills in more general areas, such as communications and finance, in order to assist with these tasks based on organizational needs.
WHAT WE NEED
Passion for doing good in the world and an excitement for helping Charity Entrepreneurship expand to new projects and/or launch additional charities
Background doing similar work
Enthusiasm for creating and optimizing systems
Intelligent and quick learner
Creative problem-solver
Detail-oriented individual
Excellent time-management skills
Minimum intermediate skills with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets
Solid interpersonal skills
Calm under pressure
Comfortable with risk and ambiguity
Good organizational skills and ability to organize tasks and big projects coherently
