Secondment - Interim Director of Operational Excellence

Tender description

Fair4All Finance is seeking a provider to provide a secondee to undertake the role of Interim Director of Operational Excellence for the four-month period up to 31 October 2020. The Interim Director of Operational Excellence will lead our work to build capability of providers in sustainably serving people in vulnerable circumstances, and work across the organisation to lead on delivering appropriate financial support to enable sustainable scaling of affordable finance providers. We are seeking a secondee who has a track record of being able to step into situations to deliver effectively as part of a team to lead establishment of this area and delivery of priorities, including coordination and supervision of a number of secondees and consultants working on key projects over the next few months. We will be seeking to appoint a permanent member of the team in due course, however the delivery programme we have set over the next months in accelerating our work means we need an interim to ensure we can deliver on our commitments over that period. This is envisaged as a full-time secondment to start mid-July. Fair4All Finance has been founded to increase the financial wellbeing of the most vulnerable groups in society by increasing access to fair, affordable and appropriate financial products and services. Through increasing access to and the use of fair financial products and services we will help people in vulnerable circumstances to meet their day to day financial needs, absorb shocks and smooth incomes. The Affordable Credit Programme follows a pilot programme which Fair4All Finance led between August 2019 and February 2020. This programme took five organisations through a due diligence and detailed business diagnostic process to determine the most appropriate support that Fair4All Finance could put into that organisation. During this programme a previous secondee managed a multi-functional due diligence team to lead these detailed assessments, resulting in a due diligence report for each organisation which was presented to their boards and to the board of Fair4All Finance along with investment recommendations.
