Instead of using your CV alone, we'll be asking you to answer questions to test essential skills needed for the role. The responses are then anonymised and reviewed in a random order by members of our team. This enables us to make data-driven assessments focused on someone's ability, rather than their background.

The Hireful platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application. We never see these responses with your application. We only see summary statistics to help us check if our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.

We would rather AI wasn't used for your answers as we want the real you, however we do reserve the right to reject applications if we feel the use of AI has been excessive.

Our ability to deliver our new three-year strategy rests on harnessing the power of
grassroots activists to put pressure on the Government and political parties; we need an
ambitious fundraiser to help fund our strategy. The majority of our income comes from
people who care as deeply about electoral reform as we do, so we are looking for someone
with a particular passion for individual giving and philanthropy.

You will be a core part of the team, working closely with the CEO to deliver ambitious
fundraising targets.
