This is an exciting position for an exceptional person with a strong campaigning background to work for one of the UK’s leading rights NGOs. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to devise high-impact campaigns to achieve real change, co-ordinating a multi-disciplinary high-performing team to further privacy, free expression and data protection rights. Ideally, you’ll also be a key Big Brother Watch spokesperson in the media.

You’ll have both people and project management responsibilities, leading our campaigns on key policy issues such as facial recognition, free speech online, financial privacy, digital ID and algorithmic decision making in the welfare system.

You’ll plan, execute and evaluate campaigns across all areas of our organisational strategy: surveillance and power; free expression online; and identity and financial privacy - as well as explore new organisational priorities, over time.

About you

You’ll have an entrepreneurial approach to your work, always identifying opportunities to boost the progress of your campaigns. The ideal candidate will appreciate the importance of winning in the court of public opinion in order to win in parliament, and have the skills to do both.

You’ll be at ease working on a strictly non-partisan, cross-party basis and grounding our campaign strategies in human rights and liberal principles. You’ll also embody our principles of equality, respect and accountability.

You’ll be highly skilled in devising strategic campaign plans for the organisation to pursue within our work streams, and able to reflect and learn from each campaign.
