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.

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

About this role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Reprieve team as our Head of Development- Grants and Major Givers, covering parental leave. With the support of the Deputy Director, Fundraising (DDF), you will lead the Development Team to fundraise for Reprieve, and our sibling organisation, Reprieve US, through multiple income streams. You will be responsible for managing a number of key donor relationships, while leading a dynamic and collaborative team to deliver against income targets across trusts, statutory, high value donors (HVD), events, awards and corporate sources. With at least five years fundraising experience, you will bring specialist expertise in at least one of the following areas:  trusts and foundations, statutory or high value donors. 

This is a pivotal moment for fundraising at Reprieve. The fundraising landscape in the UK has been affected by the economic crisis, and Reprieve is responding to this new context by remaining agile and proactively seeking new opportunities and funding sources. Our aim for the next 1 – 3 years is to maintain our current income and ensure Reprieve can resource our critical work at the same level. Joining at this key moment, you will be energised to bring your skills, experience, and knowledge to lead and support your team to steward and secure income from current funders, while strategising how to build income from new sources.

Reporting to the DDF, you will manage three Development Officers, ensuring they have the guidance, support, and infrastructure they need to fundraise effectively. You will work with the Head of Finance, the DDF and the Joint Executive Director (JED) to monitor and feed into organisational, programme and project budgets and income projections.  You will also collaborate with the wider fundraising team, including the Head of Mass Engagement, who leads our public fundraising (digital, emails, challenge events, regular giving); the finance team; the casework team, and Reprieve’s network of partners and fellows.
