Cycling UK proudly represents a community of over 70,000 members, united by a shared belief in the power of cycling to build a healthier, happier, and greener society. We champion our members’ voices at the highest levels, influencing policy, campaigning for better cycling rights, and working to make cycling safer and more accessible for all. Through our work, we inspire millions to discover the benefits of cycling. In return, our members enjoy expert advice, valuable discounts, insurance cover, and a sense of belonging within a vibrant, passionate community.
THE ROLE
We are now one year into our ambitious strategy, and this is an exciting time to join our charity as Director of Finance and Operations. We have strong foundations in place and this role will be vital in building on our successes and taking our charity to the next stage in its development.
We see huge opportunities ahead to ensure that cycling is at the heart of both government policy and individual behaviour across all four UK nations. We know we need to continue to be adaptable and future-facing in order to grasp the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls ahead. This role is crucial to ensuring our future planning and organisational effectiveness.
You don’t need to be a cyclist to work at Cycling UK, but you do need to have a strong commitment to our work. Our leadership team is a close-knit and supportive group, and we are keen to welcome someone who will provide expertise and challenge, who is confident giving and receiving feedback, and who shares our passion for making our organisation brilliant and for continuous learning.
Whatever your background, whether or not it’s in the charitable sector, we want you to bring energy and commitment to delivering our mission, increasing our reach and ensuring our sustainability.
