About MSI
MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.
Today, our organisation has almost 9,000 team members working in 36 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too. #
We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete an education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly motivated Security Engineer who wants to take their career to the next level and join our Global Information Services (GIS) Team.

Job Purpose
In our fight for a fairer, greener future, Good Law Project has previously embarked on a series of legal interventions focused on the activities of 55 Tufton Street. From undisclosed donors and misinformation to astroturfing and lobbying, we intend to continue our work debasing the Tufton Street lobby groups and think tanks like the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Restore Trust and Institute for Economic Affairs.
We are therefore commissioning further investigation of “Dark Money” that flows through Tufton Street in the guise of charitable funds. The Charity Commission exists to prevent this abuse, and that will be a key focus of this work. We are offering a one-year, fixed term contract to an experienced investigative journalist, to supply Good Law Project with a pipeline of exposés that will win commissions from the UK’s leading news outlets, including broadcast where possible, thereby contributing to the exposure of the Tufton Street axis, and helping to clean up our politics.
What we're looking for
- Track record of powerful investigative journalism, successfully pitching and bringing newsworthy stories of illicit activity conducted by harmful organisations or individuals to public attention
- Experience of reporting and managing risk (whilst still having appetite for substantial risk)
- Demonstrable experience of self-managing, remote working, reporting on a regular basis to the commissioning client
- Experience of working with open source data and proprietary databases
- Demonstrable experience of working with different departments across an organisation
- Great strategic nous – knowing when to push and when to find another route
- Digital journalist – instinct and experience for publishing across text, video, social media
What we do
- Good Law Project is a not-for-profit campaign organisation which uses the law to hold power to account and fight for a fairer, greener future. We take on the cases and campaigns where we’ll have the biggest impact, even when the odds are stacked against us.
- We had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament in 2019. We successfully challenged the Government’s operation of a fast track ‘VIP lane’ for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections and our campaigning played a key role in the Met Police opening an investigation into Boris Johnson over the Partygate scandal. In July 2023, we forced the Government to accept that its flagship Net Zero strategy is unlawful and to develop a better plan.
- We get a positive outcome in more than two thirds of our cases – either a straightforward or a partial legal win. But whether we win or lose in court, we always fight to make positive change.
- See our website for more about what we do
