Rising Star Commercial Activities Lead
Full time Outer East London
OTE £40k+ (linked to the delivery of financial growth in our social enterprises)
Why Rising Star? – because we want to attract confident, faith filled Leaders, progressives who make things happen… Our charity work and social enterprises have a sustained impact on the lives and opportunities of local people. You will lead our established commercial activities to be bigger and better, delivering increased financial surpluses alongside community benefit!
We are an award-winning Christian charity, almost 100 years established, with social action written deeply into our DNA. We are highly respected within our Borough, based on our consistent commitment to improving this place. We have new-build facilities within a housing and social action campus, and an exciting extension site newly opened.
Alongside our charity work, we have strong commercial social enterprises – childcare, café, facilities hire and selling food and other essentials through our social supermarket. The Street Kitchen café is busy, a bustling public welcome space open 7 days a week, all day and into the evenings.
These businesses all have scope to expand and extend – can you deliver ambitious value-driven growth? The businesses need managers equipped for larger responsibilities, - can you inspire, teach and example excellence?
We believe in allowing people to fly high, to reach their potential, and to exceed their own expectations. Personality, attitude, ambition and industry will weigh heavily in our assessment of candidates – perhaps more so than qualifications or experience. We will want to be confident that you can deliver financial results through enterprise. You will demonstrate business acumen, financial literacy, innovation and switched on marketing to grow our brand.
We want everyone in Barking and Dagenham – and wider! - to know about Kingsley Hall, what we do and how they can become stakeholders, customers and partners.
You will work with our Directorate Team and as you grow our business, you will have a key role in our Leadership succession planning.
This role is designated by us as a ‘Central Post’, which means there is requirement that the postholder has a living and practised Christian faith. Applicants will need to provide evidence and an appropriate reference on this point.
