PROGRAMMES MANAGER | STEP
SEI is a not-for-profit organisation that supports social
entrepreneurs with innovative ideas to tackle Ireland?s social
problems. We walk the path with a social entrepreneur from the moment

model, we help them to develop themselves and their organisations to
deliver impact at scale through bespoke financial and non-financial
supports.
