About the role The Social Enterprise Programme Manager will run the day-to-day delivery of Cook for Change, acting as the primary operational lead for cohort management, partner and speaker engagement, monitoring & evaluation and funder reporting. The role is hands-on, requiring excellent stakeholder management and programme coordination skills, plus experience supporting early-stage social entrepreneurs. You will report to Cook for Good's Development Director, who oversees this programme, and be supported by our Programme Co-ordinator who will provide administrative and logistics support for an average one day pw. Both also work across other Cook for Good projects. About you You're a proactive self-starter who thrives in a dynamic, fast-moving environment and is comfortable taking ownership to make things happen. You enjoy working as part of a small, mission-driven team, where everyone rolls up their sleeves and gets the work done. You bring a genuine interest in social enterprise and the power of entrepreneurship. Ideally, you have experience delivering programmes for early-stage ventures - and if you have a coaching background, great; if not, you'll at least be skilled in nurturing and curating a diverse cohort, building trust, and supporting participants to progress with confidence. You are naturally inclusive, empathetic and professional, with the ability to form strong relationships with a wide range of people - from community entrepreneurs to external partners, speakers and funders. Relationship-building is one of your strengths, and you understand the importance of good communication, diplomacy and follow-through. Above all, you care deeply about impact. You're ambitious for social change, motivated by supporting others to succeed, and excited by the prospect of helping grow a programme that is run by founders, for founders. Key responsibilities Programme delivery & operations: Schedule and coordinate all programme sessions, workshops and events.
