ABOUT THE ORGANISATION

St. Stephen’s Green Trust (SSGT) is an independent social justice grant-maker which has been working across the island of Ireland since 1992. Our primary purpose is to make grants to groups to allow them to effect positive social change in areas which trustees deem to be critical.

SSGT believes supporting advocacy and activism to achieve social change is the best use of independent funding, and this forms the basis of our strategic philanthropy. We aim to work in solidarity with grantees in a way which respects their dignity and leadership in the causes we fund. We commit to effective stewardship of the funds entrusted to us by our donors.

THE ROLE 

The Executive Director is a senior leadership role within a small, agile nonprofit with an all-Ireland remit, with overall responsibility for delivering the vision and mission of St Stephen’s Green Trust (SSGT) in close collaboration with the Chairperson and Board of Trustees (Board).  

The role is dual-faceted – the Executive Director serves as both a strategic leader and a hands-on Grants Programme Manager, guiding the organisation’s operations, relationships, and strategic direction. 

Responsibilities include the development, recommendation to the Board, and implementation of strategy and policies; the development and implementation of grant-making programmes and procedures as well as the necessary governance, financial, personnel and administrative systems to effectively run the funded organisations, and the representation of SSGT to grantee and other community and statutory organisation, the media and others as appropriate.   

If you are a visionary leader who inspires teams and drives organisational change, with high integrity and emotional intelligence and a commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice principles, and can work in a collaborative, empathetic and results-oriented manner, we would love to hear from you.
