Applicants must have the right to work in the United Kingdom The Head of Operations, Funding and Partnerships plays a central role in ensuring Kyniska has the funding, partnerships and organisational foundations needed to deliver its strategy.

Working closely with the CEO and wider team, the role will lead Kyniska’s approach to funding development, build and maintain strategic partnerships, support the costing of new opportunities and help strengthen the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability.

Through this role, we are looking for someone who can think beyond a traditional charity fundraising model.
