Altum Consulting is delighted to be partnering with the MCC Foundation, the charitable arm of Marylebone Cricket Club, to appoint a new Director of Programmes & Operations.
MCCF transforms lives through cricket - providing access and opportunity to those who need it most, championing the state school game, and using cricket as a vehicle for social impact in the UK and overseas. This role comes as the outgoing Operations Director steps up as CEO, creating an exciting leadership opportunity at a time of growth.
The Role
As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will:
* Lead the Foundations UK and international programme portfolio.
* Manage a team of programme staff and a network of 500+ coaches.
* Strengthen operations across policy, risk, compliance, and systems.
* Oversee strategic partnerships with the ECB, MCC, counties, and international partners.
* Support governance, reporting and organisational strategy.
About You
We are seeking a confident leader with:
* Senior experience in programme or operations management, ideally in the charity or sport-for-development sectors.
* A proven ability to deliver complex programmes and manage teams.
* Strong operational knowledge across governance, compliance, and risk.
* Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
* Commitment to inclusion and social impact.
Knowledge of cricket is helpful but not essential. International or sport-related programme experience would be advantageous.
Why Apply?
* The opportunity to secure a senior leadership role in a respected, fast-growing charity.
* The chance to shape the future of accessible cricket and sport for development.
* A competitive salary of up to £75,000 plus benefits.
How to Apply
Altum Consulting will be meeting with candidates from now until Friday October 24th, before final stages commence with the MCC Foundation. To apply, please submit your CV.
We and the MCC Foundation value diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from all backgrounds, particularly those underrepresented in cricket and the charity sector.
