Introduction to the role

“Working at Full Fact is such a joy - the fundraising team are supportive, ambitious and positive.”

We are in danger of entering an era in which none of us believe anything we read, see or hear. Misinformation and disinformation have been identified by the World Economic Forum as the greatest global risk we face over the next two years. Bad information promotes hate, damages health, and hurts democracy.

Full Fact is an independent, impartial charity that fights for a world where we can trust the information that shapes our lives. Every day, we fact check harmful claims from politicians, the mainstream press, or on social media. We have created world-class AI tools to help us do this, which we license to fact checkers in 26 countries, including some of the most difficult places in the world for fact checking. We are a national and global player, using what we learn to push for policy change in Westminster and in Silicon Valley. 

We are looking for a dynamic, cause-driven Trusts and Foundations fundraising leader to join us in the fight against bad information.

This role will lead our Trusts and Foundations programme, working from an existing £1m+ pipeline of major UK and international funders, as well as identifying and approaching potential new supporters. You will be creative and innovative in seeking out new opportunities, as we are looking to expand our fundraising into new areas of fact checking, such as climate misinformation and support for US fact-checkers. You will thrive on working with a range of colleagues and senior stakeholders to pull together information and develop compelling proposals for complex issues and projects. 

Reporting into the Head of Development and line managing a Trusts Manager, you’ll be part of a successful and supportive team, with a commitment to recognising and developing people’s talent.

You will play a crucial role in holding our political leaders to account, countering the spread of dangerous misinformation online, and fuelling the development of AI tools for social good around the world. 

If you are interested in applying but not sure you have all the skills, please do apply. We are open both to supporting learning on the job and to rearranging tasks within the team to suit the skillsets of the best applicant
