The collaboration between NOW Group and 7twenty aims to identify an exceptional candidate who will play a pivotal role in driving the organisation’s continued growth, ensuring the delivery of high-quality services and impactful initiatives as NOW expands its reach across the island of Ireland.

Commenting on the new position and on NOW Group’s expansion in Ireland, CEO Maeve Monaghan adds: “Last year, we fulfilled a long-held ambition to launch our first Loaf Café in Dublin, following a two-year search for a suitable location.

“To spearhead the growth of the Organisation, we have identified the need for a COO, who will work alongside our Senior Management team and myself. It’s a huge milestone for us as an Organisation, and a phenomenal opportunity for someone who is committed to furthering our impact, delivering meaningful work and having a senior role with a true purpose.”
