Senior Programme Manager Jobs

Message from the CEO

Dear candidate,

Thank you very much for your interest in the role. We are at an exciting inflection point as an organisation. Currently, we are a £6m T/O organisation with ~75 staff educating ~650 students and apprentices across our two campuses alongside a variety of short course activity. In recent years we have focused on putting the systems, processes and improved physical and digital infrastructure in place to allow us to scale our business model, and therefore our impact, rapidly.

Core to these solid foundations has been a significant improvement in our financial health in the past year following the successful completion of our capital projects and the residual impact of the covid-era falling away. With no debt, growing reserves and strengthened philanthropy relationships, we can be confident in investing in the right strategies for further growth.

To ensure we are pursuing the right strategies, we are embarking on the formulation of our new strategy for the next 5 years in Spring 2025. We will be bringing together the college's internal and external stakeholders, alongside pro bono support from Bain&Co., to set bold new goals for the next decade and a detailed roadmap for how we will meet them, specifically how we will dramatically increase the number of learners we educate and empower to become the next generation of diverse digital talent.

The Director of Finance and Operations is a pivotal role in the realisation of our renewed and heightened ambitions. Growth is only sustainable and successful when built on solid foundations and scalable infrastructure. Your role will be to ensure this is in place and continues to grow to meet our current and future needs . You will articulate the College’s financial and infrastructure development strategies in conjunction with our expert Governors and your senior leadership peers. You will then be responsible for the effective implementation of these strategies and the management of a high-performing team to execute on them in line with the College's 5 values: Collaboration, Creativity, Curiosity, Resilience and Rigour.

I hope this sounds like an exciting challenge. If it does, please read on and I very much look forward to reading your application.

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
