Unifrog’s mission
We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counsellors to manage the progression process effectively.
Our outlook is global - we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, and from Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.
We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with over half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer (check out this video to hear more about the Unifrog platform).
Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of openness, happiness and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential.

We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we would like to strongly encourage you to apply.

-
To ensure that our recruitment process is consistent and fair, we anonymise your application and therefore do not see your name, personal, educational or professional background.

RIVET is a new social enterprise bringing together brands, influencers, and NGOs to fund and amplify youth-led social change. With 100+ years of experience elevating young changemakers, RIVET’s founders have seen firsthand that young people don’t lack talent or imagination; they lack access to resources.
In response, we have created the world’s first micro-finance platform focused on young social innovators, funded by youth themselves. This engine will transform young people’s everyday purchases into philanthropic power for their generation’s ideas to change the world. Created by, for, and with young people, RIVET represents the largest investment in youth-led social change. Ever.
As RIVET’s inaugural Director of Donor Engagement, you will help build and then lead the stewardship implementation for our 70+ major donors who serve on our Leadership Council, Youth Impact Council, and Youth Impact Fund, providing them with a meaningful experience that reflects our shared values and desired impact. RIVET’s operating budget is $2.5M, with most of that currently coming from philanthropic support. Our four-year sustainable business model strategy reflects an increasing reliance on brand revenue. The Director of Donor Engagement plays a critical role in helping us secure the capacity building funds needed to help the RIVET rocket get into orbit in the meantime. Your success is largely defined by donors renewing and deepening their support, and increasingly serving as an engine for RIVET’s expanded global impact.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!

The Humanitarian Trainee Scheme presents an unparalleled learning opportunity for early career professionals who are committed to a career in humanitarian work. It is an opportunity to catapult your career forward towards humanitarian leadership roles within Health, Operations and Logistics. The Humanitarian Trainee Scheme consists of an 18-month pathway designed to provide in-depth exposure to humanitarian health programming through a structured professional development plan where you will embed in a team and contribute actively to the daily work and priorities in the team and wider organisation both in Headquarters and in the field whilst engaging in formal and informal professional development opportunities through training, mentoring, on-the-job learning, etc.
