What I do: As Head of Operations, I’m responsible for the infrastructure that supports the PTC’s programmes and day-to-day running, including bookkeeping, banking, databases, budgets, and financial and funder reporting. I coordinate office management, manage relationships with service providers, and ensure our systems, policies and procedures remain effective and up to date. My role also covers governance administration to support the Board of Trustees and wider operational planning across the organisation.
