How to Apply for CEO

at Remap

🏢 About Remap

Remap is a unique charity that designs and builds custom-made equipment for people with disabilities, addressing mobility, daily living, and recreational needs through volunteer-driven technical expertise. What makes it special is its hands-on, creative approach combining metalwork, carpentry, electronics, programming, and 3D printing to create solutions unavailable elsewhere. Someone would want to work here to lead an organization making tangible, life-changing differences through innovative problem-solving.

About This Role

As CEO, you'll guide this purpose-driven charity through its next chapter, overseeing strategic direction, financial management, and nationwide impact while working remotely with occasional UK travel. This role involves shaping and delivering impactful programs that directly improve the lives of people with disabilities through custom equipment solutions. You'll lead a team of creative volunteers and ensure the organization's mission translates into real-world change.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve virtual meetings with volunteer coordinators to review equipment projects, strategic planning sessions for program expansion, donor relationship management, and reviewing custom equipment requests to ensure alignment with the charity's mission. You'd balance financial oversight with mission delivery, connecting remote team members while occasionally traveling to see projects firsthand.
