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.

• Managed external contracts or grants to deliver agreed objectives on time and within budget.
• Organised successful complex meetings and events.
• Have been personally responsible for implementing new processes or ideas.
• Have worked independently and within a team, contributing to the success of others as well as self.
• Written well-received documents (such as minutes, briefings, reports, articles).

How we recruit 

Diversity and inclusion are important to us. We want our team of staff to be representative of all sections of society, and for each employee to feel respected and able to give their best.   We understand that you may not meet every requirement listed, but if you feel you could make a valuable contribution to our charity, we encourage you to apply. You may be a great fit for this or another role.
 
We use the recruitment platform Hireful.  Using Hireful allows us to reduce unconscious bias and subjectivity, and candidates experience a more skills-based recruitment process which helps us to hire the best talent for our roles 
 
The application process includes an inbuilt anonymisation feature which removes identifiable personal data from your CV.   To enable this please ensure your name you use on the application form matches exactly with that on your CV.
 
We also add competency questions to the process which asses your approach to real issues that you would face in this role.   Each response is anonymised and reviewed separately by each hiring team member before the total scores are averaged to create a leader board of candidates. 

We would rather AI wasn't used for your answers as we want the real you, however we do reserve the right to reject applications if we feel the use of AI has been excessive.

Deadline to apply is Sunday 12th January 2025 and interviews are expected to be held the week of 20th January 2025.

About the Citizens UK and Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation (LWF) was launched in 2011 to tackle in-work poverty. We encourage and celebrate employers that pay the real Living Wage- calculated according to the cost of living - through an accreditation programme. We have additional schemes which address other aspects of in-work poverty, such as insecure contracts and pensions. We also run local and national campaigns to promote the Living Wage in different sectors and regions. There is more information on our website: What do we do?

The Living Wage Foundation is one of several projects run by charity Citizens UK - the home of community organising. Citizens UK train and coordinate civil society leaders to work on the issues that matter to them.

Our culture is driven by our six organisational values: Solidarity, Kindness, Courage, Integrity, Inclusion, and Relational. You can read more here.

Please note, at the Living Wage Foundation, we take a deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty.  As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.

 About the Application Process

The Living Wage Foundation is committed to being an inclusive employer. We would love to see applications from LGBTQIA+ people, people from racialised communities, people living with disabilities and people of faith. We want our employees to be themselves and thrive doing so, and we have employee networks to support staff. Even if you don’t quite meet all the required criteria still consider applying, as we invest in our employees and support them to develop the skills and knowledge required to deliver their role.  It’s important that our team represents the communities we serve, therefore we are particularly interested to hear from candidates who have experience of low pay.

At Citizens UK, we use Applied, an applicant-tracking recruitment system. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. The responses are anonymised and reviewed by the panel. The Applied platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application. Citizens UK cannot see individual demographic responses, only summary statistics to monitor our candidate pool for balance. Applied aims to give an equal chance to be hired irrespective of background. Candidates can opt out of answering the demographic questions.  

We welcome applicants from different backgrounds and will do our best to meet reasonable adjustments and access needs for disabilities during and after the recruitment process.  

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK as Citizens UK is unable to sponsor visa applications. Our community organisers work in the community and their employment is subject to satisfactory standard/enhanced DBS checks.  

For questions and reasonable adjustments regarding your application including information in a different format, or our recruitment process, please contact us.

Got any more questions?    

If you would like further information on the role, the organisation, or our commitment to addressing under-representation and the development and progression of all colleagues, we would be happy to answer any questions, please contact us (Please note that the office is shut between 19th December – 6th January).
