Who are Women’s Aid?  

Women’s Aid is the national charity working to end domestic abuse against women and children. We are a federation of just under 180 organisations which provide over 300 local lifesaving services to women and children across England. For 50 years we have campaigned on behalf of our members and survivors to shape policy and practice, and to raise awareness of domestic abuse. 

Our support services, which include the Survivors’ Forum, the No Woman Turned Away Project, the Survivor’s Handbook, Love Respect (our dedicated website for young people), the national Women’s Aid Directory and our advocacy projects, help thousands of women and children every year.

Purpose of the Commercial Director role:                 

This role is about driving long-term income growth, innovation and commercial performance, while also establishing the foundations required for future scale. It is not solely a strategic role and will require pace, delivery and visible impact from the outset. 

The Commercial Director is a pivotal member of the Executive Leadership Team, responsible for shaping and delivering Women’s Aid’s commercial strategy to ensure sustainability, impact and innovation. The postholder will lead and enable teams to deliver high-quality income generation while ensuring our feminist values and social purpose remain central. 

The Commercial Director will lead the development and delivery of all income streams, oversee procurement and contract management, and establish the commercial, digital and governance foundations required for future growth. 

Key duties and responsibilities of the Commercial Director:

Develop and lead a bold, values-led commercial strategy that drives growth in earned income, social enterprise activity, and strategic partnerships
	
Build and embed the commercial, digital and data foundations required for sustainable income growth, recognising varying levels of organisational maturity.
	
Develop, in collaboration with the CEO and Leadership Team, a portfolio of commercial opportunities and intervention for Women’s Aid which could include housing support, consultancy based-back-office support for members and digital/on-line  interventions and tools
	
Provide strategic leadership and oversight across income generation. 
	
Guide the development and implementation of integrated strategies to grow and diversify income from individuals, corporates, trusts, and other key partners
	
Lead the development and scaling of products, services, training, and accreditation offers that align with our expertise and meet market needs, with clear expectations to establish viable, revenue-generating products where these are not yet fully developed.
	
Oversee the training function, ensuring delivery against budget and a strategic training development plan
	
Ensure the development of commercial infrastructure, digital capability and data insight necessary to support scalable income growth
	
Support the membership team in strengthening the member value proposition and supporting the sustainability of specialist services
	
Embed early-stage governance, horizon scanning and prioritisation into commercial planning to avoid late-stage risk and delay.

What we are looking for in our Commercial Director:

Proven senior leadership experience in commercial strategy, business development, or social enterprise in a purpose-driven organisation. 
	
Financially literate, with experience in forecasting, budgeting, and performance monitoring.
	
Experience of delivering digital transformation or building digital and data foundations within an organisation.
	
Exceptional interpersonal, communication & networking skills
	
A strategic thinker and implementer with the ability to analyse data 
	
The strategic and entrepreneurial mindset to create and implement an ambitious fundraising and income generation strategy
	
Fully computer literate, comfortable with and experienced in using word processing, spreadsheets, fundraising databases, CRM, internet, and email applications.
