Company Description
The Institute of Business Ethics (IBE) is an independent non-profit that champions ethical business practice and culture. Established nearly 40 years ago, we develop insights, provide support and share best practice on ethical leadership, culture and values-based decision-making.
The IBE is at a pivotal moment in its journey. Under new leadership and with an ambitious strategy for change, we are evolving how we work, who we reach and the impact we make.
We support people in leading ethically through:
- Networks, Events and Convenings
- Advisory Services
- Executive Education, Training & Leadership Development
- Research & Insights
This is an opportunity to join the Institute at a transformative time – and play a critical leadership role in shaping our engagement, reputation and communications.
Role Description
The Head of Operations, People and Finance ensures that our internal operations reflect the same integrity, clarity, and purpose we promote externally. Working closely with the CEO, the team, our Board of Trustees and Advisory Council, you will lead the operational backbone of the IBE across finance, governance, people, IT, and organisational effectiveness. You’ll be both strategic and hands-on - embedding ethical values and principles in how we run the organisation, supporting a culture of trust and inclusion, and helping to build a modern, efficient organisation that enables us to scale our impact. This is a purpose-led leadership role for someone who is passionate about ethics, motivated by impact, and excited to help steward organisational change.
Qualifications
* A strong track record in operational leadership in a values-driven business or non-profit context.
* Robust understanding of finance, governance, HR, and IT infrastructure.
* Strategic capability alongside hands-on operational know-how.
* A calm, collaborative style and ability to work with a wide range of people.
* Passion for the mission of the IBE—and a belief that how we operate internally is core to our external credibility and impact.
