About Reprieve

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.

About the role:

The Head of Operations will oversee the day-to-day running of the global operations of Reprieve UK and Reprieve US and our work around the globe.

They will be responsible for assisting with planning, implementing, overseeing, and evaluating the systems, processes and relationships that enable caseworkers, fellows, and consultants to do the challenging work that they do as efficiently, safely and effectively as possible. They will help devise creative solutions to build a flexible and supportive environment in which staff can carry out their work.

The Head of Operations will work closely with and supervise the work of the HR Operations Manager and the Office and Executive Support Officer. Reporting to a member of the Senior Management Team, they will provide support to the Joint Executive Directors as well as broader staff team, Fellows and consultants.

About you:

You will be someone who is confident in overseeing a wide remit including:

• Human Resources
• Security Risk Management incl. Health and Safety and Duty of Care
• Insurance
• Office & Budget Management
• Information Technology & Cyber Security
• General Operations

This role also oversees accounts payable and the annual audit for our sister organisation Reprieve US (working with our US based US qualified accountant).

You are a positive person with a can-do attitude, extensive experience in operations management and security risk management, experience of managing or supervising individuals and teams, proven ability to manage conflicting priorities and a strong problem solver.

The Operations team is a small team that works collaboratively to ensure all areas are covered at all times. As such, you will be willing to chip in and take on tasks of other team members if urgent matters arise or when providing holiday cover.

Further information  

This role is based in Reprieve’s London office. Reprieve operates a hybrid working model and we require staff to work 40% per week from the London office and the rest of the week from home. You will also be available outside of office hours in the event of an emergency and when required as part of the security risk management framework (for example to monitor extreme risk trips).

This is no ordinary fundraising job! We wanted to call this position ‘Head of Minor Gifts’, but we worried it wouldn't hit your radar during your job search.

At One World Together we're turning the tables on traditional systems of finance for global development to get more funds, on better terms, directly to communities in the UK and globally. We’ve designed a new, affordable and citizen-powered model of philanthropy that dreams of (and is realising!) a community-centred future driven by passionate and committed Global Citizens.

We are seeking an experienced, part-time Head of Individual Giving to help build our small but growing movement into a thriving community moving towards financial sustainability. Alongside building a successful movement for Global Citizenship, you will foster long-term supporters through deepening our Global Citizens’ and donor journeys. You will support our income-generation through organising fundraising events and activities, spotting potential philanthropic and business partnerships and helping to build our long-term strategies for achieving organisational sustainability.

The post is one year in the first instance, with the hope that a successful campaign will secure the position into the future.

Role Description:

We are excited to grow our Global Citizenship membership and Solidarity Funds through nation-wide community building – can you help us do this?

We are looking for someone who shares our values of trust, solidarity and equity, who is proactive and imaginative in their approach to fundraising. One who is passionate about a fairer system and who is ready to nurture a new community-centred movement founded on the power of microdonations at scale.

This role will be our first dedicated fundraising position at One World Together. As the Head of Individual Giving you will be responsible for:

• Designing a nation-wide community building stragegy to grow our Global Citizens membership and Solidarity Fund;

• Deepening our Global Citizen donor journey and building long-term relationships with our members and other supporters;

• Organising One World Together virtual, in-person and/or hybrid events;

• Supporting the development of our ongoing ‘business for good’ campaign and working with the broader team to pursue other forms of fundraising as they arise;

•  Managing a community-building and fundraising budget.

We are a purpose- and values-driven organisation and are looking forward to meeting our perfect match in these areas. We want all interested candidates to know that we are not a target-driven organisation or one driven by the desire for endless growth. We have thoughtfully designed a model that ‘builds in’ financial sustainability and organisational stability, but recognise that we need to invest in a national community building initiative to reach those goals and our future community-centred impact potential.

The Values, Skills, and Experience We’re Looking For

• 2+ years experience in leading, designing and implementing local or national fundraising community building strategies and demonstrable understanding of their reach and/or impacts;

• An understanding of and experience in developing long-term supporter commitment through regular giving and partnerships with donors;

• A strong experience of managing fundraising campaigns through different social media platforms and digital marketing strategies;

• An understanding of how to reach different segments of the population with fundraising messaging, including young people;

• Experience with CRM software (we use Beacon) and Mailchimp for managing campaigns and donor communications;

• Project-management experience, including planning and budget management;

• A strong commitment to our values of trust, solidarity and equity – and an understanding of why these are so important in a fairer funding system;

• Exhibits a motivation for innovation, action and a belief in a better world – and the role of collective action in achieving this;

• Action-oriented, can thrive independently but also enjoys inspiring, coordinating and working with other team members;

• Adaptable and willing to learn in a dynamic environment, as this is a new role in a young organisation that may require flexibility and creative problem-solving.

Desired skills and experience

We don’t expect you to have all the skills and experience on this list. Plus, we want you to learn new skills in this role. If you are on the fence, please err on the side of applying.

• Relevant qualification in fundraising

• Knowledge of global development and the funding challenges in the sector.

• Experience with community engagement, fundraising, engaging with major donors, and grant writing.

• Brilliant people skills honed through experience working in hospitality, retail, finance, HR, or logistics.

• A willingness to travel, within and outside the UK. We are looking to grow our UK community of Global Citizens in the first instance, so we’d prefer you were UK-based.

Why we think this is an amazing role for YOU!

• Unique opportunity to accelerate your career in a transformative fundraising role, observing your social impact day-to-day.

• You’ll be joining a smart and dedicated team making progress on some of the most pressing funding questions worldwide in building global solidarity, strengthening community impacts and making positive change (see One World Together).

• You’ll not only be part of a global innovation making positive social change happen, but you’ll also play a key role in our dream of creating a community-centred future and a new community of Global Citizens.

• You’ll have the unique opportunity to help shape OWT’s fundraising strategy and practices from the ground up, allowing you to make significant impact and innovate in the field of community-driven philanthropy.

• You’ll be a crucial part of building our community across a growing network of Global Citizens, supporters, and our incredible partners in Kenya, the UK and Zambia.

• Generous training budget (£1,000) with flexibility to choose the right skills development for you in this role.

• Be part of our internal growth plans and our future fundraising strategy development. As OWT expands there may be opportunities for professional growth and advancement within the organisation.

• You’ll be part of deep-rooted social change that is already having huge impacts for our community partners - what’s not to like!?
