Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

Reprieve’s main office is in 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.

You will ensure that the Development Team, Finance Team and Casework Team take a coordinated approach in ensuring that our funded projects are properly financially managed; that there are processes in place to ensure the teams leading these work areas are well supported in their financial reporting obligations; and that there is organisational understanding around our financial situation and funding requirements.

You will be able to lead the team in producing financial reports for funders and ensuring that we accurately and professionally report on restricted income.

This is an area we want to grow further and you will be expected to provide leadership and guidance to the Head of Campaigns and Digital and the wider team in achieving these targets and ensuring they have the information they need to ensure high quality campaign materials which are sensitive to the complex cultural and political environments in which we operate.
