About Solidaritech
Solidaritech tackles digital exclusion by refurbishing donated tech and connecting people seeking sanctuary with the devices they need to learn, communicate, and participate in everyday life. We’re a small, values-driven organisation with a hands-on approach and a commitment to fairness, inclusion, and practical solidarity.
As we prepare for a leadership transition, we are looking for someone who can keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly while the Directors and CEO agree the organisation’s medium-term strategic direction.
About the role
The Operations Manager is an internally focused role that keeps the organisation organised, safe, and functioning well. You’ll oversee operational staff and volunteers, make day-to-day decisions, and ensure our workshop, workflows and systems run efficiently.
You’ll keep accurate operational data, meet compliance requirements, solve problems calmly, and make sure people have what they need each day. You won’t be doing public-facing strategic work — this is a practical, hands-on role rooted in team support, smooth coordination, and well-run internal systems.
This is a temporary role while the organisation transitions to a new leadership model.
