Make Good Grow is scaling — and we need a leader to shape what’s next.
Since launching in 2018, Make Good Grow has become Warwickshire’s go-to matchmaker between skilled volunteers, businesses, and good causes. In 2024 alone, we powered 180 projects, delivered over £227,000 of skilled support, and positively impacted more than 200,000 lives across the region — and we’re only just getting started.
Now we’re looking for a driven, strategic, hands‑on Make Good Grow Manager to lead the next chapter: expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and helping take our purpose to an entirely new scale.
This isn’t just about maintaining what works — it’s about growing something that matters. With new partnerships emerging, external projects launching, and the Make Good Grow brand becoming a recognised force for good beyond Warwickshire, this is a chance to help write the next chapter of a movement that’s still only scratching the surface of its potential.
Why 1 Mill Street?
1 Mill Street is more than a space — it’s a thriving ecosystem where business, creativity, and community collide. Make Good Grow is the heartbeat of that purpose: our social impact arm dedicated to proving that business can (and should) power community change directly on our doorstep.
Here, doing good isn’t a side project — it’s the main event. As our Make Good Grow Manager, you’ll lead a movement that connects people who care with causes that matter — shaping projects, partnerships, and events that transform lives and inspire others to do the same.
What You’ll Own
You’ll be the connector, conductor, and catalyst that keeps Make Good Grow moving — balancing the big picture with the details that make it real.
No two days are the same. One day you’re running a social impact showcase; the next, rallying volunteers, building a partnership campaign, or taking the stage at one of our headline events like the Regency 10K — proudly sponsored by Make Good Grow.
And as the brand continues to grow externally — through collaborations, partnerships, and national events — you’ll help steer how we scale that impact while keeping the heart of Make Good Grow intact.
* Lead and scale Make Good Grow— setting strategy, defining goals, and laying the foundations for sustainable growth.
* Design, organise, and host events that bring our mission to life — from corporate activations and community celebrations to panels, showcases, and purpose‑driven festivals.
* Be the face of Make Good Grow— confidently representing the brand on stage, in the press, and in the room.
* Build and nurture partnerships with charities, social enterprises, corporates, and community leaders that turn purpose into action.
* Deliver impactful projects— connecting Volunteers and Good Causes, ensuring every initiative runs smoothly and delivers measurable outcomes.
* Support marketing and PR activity— help craft stories and campaigns that amplify impact and grow our reach.
* Guide operational delivery— keeping systems, budgets, and reporting tight and transparent.
* Spot and shape opportunity— seeing new directions for growth and acting boldly to make them real.
About You
You’re someone who thrives where structure meets spontaneity — able to plan with precision and perform with presence. You love bringing people together, building momentum, and creating experiences that leave a lasting mark. You see growth as a possibility — and you’re excited by the idea of helping a proven concept evolve into a nationally recognised force for good.
You’ll bring:
* Proven experience in project or programme management with a strong events component — from planning to delivery and hosting.
* The confidence to lead from the front — you’re at ease on stage, on camera, and in a crowd.
* A natural flair for communication — you can inspire, engage, and energise audiences of all kinds.
* The discipline to run complex operations — managing budgets, partners, and timelines with care.
* The creativity to design events and campaigns that feel fresh, relevant, and purposeful.
* The curiosity and initiative to learn, test, and evolve how we connect people and amplify impact.
* Above all, the charisma and leadership to make people believe in what Make Good Grow stands for.
Mindset & Values
* Purposeful and entrepreneurial— you see possibilities everywhere and act on it.
* Charismatic and collaborative— you bring people with you and create energy in every room.
* Impact‑driven— you back stories with evidence and use data to drive decisions.
* Resilient and resourceful— equally comfortable behind the scenes and in the spotlight.
* Ambitious and outward‑looking— excited by the growth of the brand and the chance to scale a local success into something bigger.
Why This Role Matters
Make Good Grow isn’t just a programme — it’s a movement. The work you lead will ripple outward — helping good causes thrive, enabling businesses to contribute more meaningfully, and inspiring thousands to give their skills where they matter most.
From flagship initiatives like the Regency 10K sponsorship to new external partnerships and national activations, you’ll shape how Make Good Grow shows up in the world — visibly, memorably, and with heart.
This is your chance to take something proven and help it grow beyond its roots— building systems, partnerships, and experiences that will leave a lasting legacy of good.
What You’ll Get
* A role where doing good is your day job.
* The chance to lead and shape a growing movement for impact.
* A creative, supportive, purpose‑driven environment at 1 Mill Street.
* The satisfaction of seeing your work directly strengthen communities on our doorstep.
Hours: Full‑time, primarily on‑site, with flexibility for evening and weekend events.
* Company pension
