Programme Manager Jobs in Central London, Greater London

About More in Common

More in Common is a research agency working across the US, UK, Germany, France and Poland to tackle polarisation and division. More in Common leads and supports initiatives to build more united, inclusive, and resilient societies. Our mission is to understand the forces driving us apart, help societies find common ground and bring people together to tackle shared challenges.

In the UK, our work is best described as being part consultancy and part think tank. We provide a full suite of research services including polling and focus group research; evidence reviews and secondary data analysis; audience mapping and audience strategy; strategic communications strategy and campaign development. More in Common is a member of the British Polling Council.

Our work is informed by our ground-breaking segmentation of the British public. This unique values-based lens to our quantitative and qualitative research means we can understand not only what the public thinks about the big challenges facing British society today but - crucially - why they think it. Our insights help leaders in government, the media, business and civil society to develop better strategies and communications – particularly in reaching disengaged communities far from the Westminster/London bubble – and to better navigate tricky and divisive issues.

More in Common has published agenda-setting thought leadership on a whole range of debates facing British society, including exploring the public’s starting points on climate action and tackling crime and anti-social behaviour; understanding how the British public is navigating major debates from trans and gender identity to the conflict in Israel and Palestine to assisted dying; highlighting the public’s expectations on mental health reform and what’s next for the levelling up agenda. Our work is regularly covered in the British press and media and we’ve developed a series of partnerships with broadcasters and newspapers to deliver top-quality research insights. In the 2024 General Election period, we were among Britain’s most accurate pollsters and used our focus group research to put people and public opinion at the centre of coverage of the election campaign.

Through our consultancy, More in Common has also supported dozens of partners with insights and strategic communications support. We’ve helped national institutions such as the BBC, British Library and National Trust to better understand their audiences, we’ve helped partners in government and civil society with the set-up and delivery of the Homes for Ukraine scheme, and we’ve supported a range of partners to test their manifesto ideas from the National Farmers Union to Rethink Mental Illness among many others.

In 2025, More in Common has a range of exciting projects in the pipeline, including:

• Refreshing our core values model with a deeper understanding of the attitudes and worldviews that shape the most important divides in Britain in 2025
• Supporting the aid sector to deliver more effective messages to reach beyond their highly engaged activist base
• Working with video game designers to develop strategic interventions with low-trust groups to tackle disinformation
• Developing new strategies to talk about men’s health issues in ways that avoid culture war traps
• Expanding our international research offer
• Working with national institutions to help them better understand their audiences and users
• Working with with leading transport authorities and think tanks to help navigate backlash against active transport and public transport initiatives

Amnesty International has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international, and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom, and truth wherever they are denied. We achieve change through investigating and exposing human rights abuses, lobbying, campaigning, and educating on human rights and how to claim them.

About the role

Expenditure budget is circa £3-4m per annum to achieve an income budget of circa £17m per annum across a range of products and channels. You'll be accountable for the compliance of the individual giving programme, which raises funds and recruits supporters across the two separate-but-related legal entities that make up Amnesty International UK.

We achieve change through investigating and exposing human rights abuses, lobbying, campaigning, and educating on human rights and how to claim them.

Do you want to use your skills, knowledge, and experience to help change the world? Then apply to become Amnesty International UK's Head of Individual Giving and help raise the funds that can make that happen.

About the role

Leading the Individual Giving team, the Head of Individual Giving is also a member of the Fundraising Leadership Team (FLT).

You will directly manage the Supporter Acquisition Team and lead on Individual Giving strategy development and deliver growth as outlined in the new income generation strategy by enabling its implementation, maximising opportunities to grow net income and member / supporter numbers by making the goals and work of Amnesty International compelling to the UK public, inspiring them to donate and showing them that they are part of a powerful movement for human rights.

You'll oversee the planning, budgeting, and performance of the Individual Giving programme, including our in-house tele-fundraising business unit, in accordance with the goals and priorities of the income generation plan and organisational strategy. Expenditure budget is circa £3-4m per annum to achieve an income budget of circa £17m per annum across a range of products and channels. You'll be accountable for the compliance of the individual giving programme, which raises funds and recruits supporters across the two separate-but-related legal entities that make up Amnesty International UK.

You don't need to have worked for a campaigning / advocacy-based organisation before - but you will need to be excited about leading an individual giving programme that helps fund one.

More details can be found by downloading the job description from our careers portal.

The role may be for you if:

• You're experienced at management level within fundraising or business-to-consumer direct marketing, working with £1m+ budgets to achieve net income / profit and essentially will be able to give examples of the delivery of supporter / customer growth.
• You're an expert in what makes compelling fundraising communications and targeting external audiences using a range of direct response channels, including digital.
• You have a good knowledge of direct marketing performance metrics and how to use them to make evidence-based decisions.
• You have a solid knowledge of UK legislation and regulation relevant to direct marketing, including GDPR (and ideally, you'll be familiar with the Code of Fundraising Practice too).
• You'll live and work by the principles of equity, inclusion, and anti-racism and know how to embed these in team culture and in interactions with internal and external audiences.

Our Commitment to you

Inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism (IDEA) are at the core of our values. We want to be an organisation that tackles structural inequality and prejudice and is actively anti-racist. This includes taking a meaningful and equitable approach to supporting and developing you and others during your time with us.

You'll receive 27 days (pro-rated for part-time) leave annually, rising to 29 after five years; and your 2-5% employee pension contributions will be matched at 6-9%. We're a family-friendly organisation, offering six months full pay for family leave, and can consider a range of flexible working requests, including compressed hours and job share.
