Operations Manager for Hela Människan Boden

Do you want to lead an organization where coffee, beans, laughter, sorrow, structure, and hope all fit at the same table? Where leadership is about as much about budgeting as it is about human interaction, and where every person is met eye-to-eye?

Hela Människan in Boden is now looking for an Operations Manager who wants to help carry, lead, and develop our work among people in socially vulnerable situations.

About Us – Hela Människan Boden

We are a non-profit, Christian, and ecumenical organization that believes in the whole person – body, soul, and spirit. Our values are rooted in love, patience, and tolerance. Our daily operations are guided by the conviction that all people have an inviolable value.

Among other things, we offer:

• A meeting place for the day-active, featuring breakfast, lunch, and community
• A grocery store and second-hand shop
• Conversations, support, and social community
• Devotions and opportunities for spiritual deepening
• Collaboration with churches, civil society, and public actors

We do not try to “fix people”; instead, we meet them. With respect. Eye-to-eye. Often over a cup of coffee.

About the Role

As Operations Manager, you are both a leader and a team player. You are close to the operations and the people, while simultaneously holding the overall picture, direction, and structure.

The role involves responsibility for:

• Leading and planning daily operations
• Supervising staff and coordinating volunteers
• Financial responsibility (budgeting, follow-up, and ongoing economics)
• Communicating with funders, partners, and authorities
• Developing the organization based on local needs and Hela Människans foundation
• Participating in conversations, group activities, and devotions together with other staff
• Serving as the face of the organization
• Participating in the board’s working committee

In short: you hold both heart and structure in your hands – without dropping either.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for you who:

• Share Hela Människans Christian and ecumenical values
• Wish to meet people in socially vulnerable situations with warmth, respect, and perseverance
• Have the ability to communicate with guests, employees, volunteers, churches, and authorities
• Are confident in yourself, structured where necessary, and flexible where life demands it
• Have experience in leadership, preferably within the non-profit or social sector
• Hold a valid driver’s license (Category B)

Suitable education could be diaconal studies, social work, or equivalent.

Personal suitability is highly valued. Who you are weighs at least as much as what is on your CV.
