Job Details

The Vitol Group first began making charitable grants in 2002 and established the Vitol Foundation in 2006. Since that time, they have funded over 1800 projects in more than 120 countries around the world. Their purpose is to fund work that directly or indirectly supports children and families living in deprivation to escape the cycle of poverty and reach their potential in life. In 2018, the Vitol Foundation funded 180 projects with partner organisations in 77 countries. We are pleased to be working with the foundation to recruit an accomplished and capable Operations Manager to join its team.

Grant making experience and Salesforce database knowledge will be particularly advantageous. This person will be highly organised and adaptable with the ability to use logic and initiative in providing strategic solutions across the breadth of the work of the foundation. Experience of servicing committees and organising and minuting high level meetings will also be very important for success in this role. Finally, an appreciation of the charitable work of the organisation across the world will be very valuable.
