• Keeping current — Track legal and regulatory change. Update guidance and workflows promptly.

• Issues and disputes — Handle escalations quickly and proportionately.

You’ll thrive here if you show

• Bold, informed judgement: you check the source, avoid assumptions and make firm, evidence-based decisions.

• Ownership and follow-through: you take responsibility for files, systems and outcomes.

• Entrepreneurial drive: you test new routes and scale what works.

• Planning under pressure: you manage competing demands without losing quality.

• Inclusive practice: you design services that are easier and safer to access.

• Reporting line: Executive Director.

The Co-Founders Mindset

We are building a trans rights revolution at the Trans Legal Clinic. We deliver work that changes outcomes for people, case by case and system by system. That calls for a particular mindset. We call it the co-founder mindset. Co-founders take the mission personally, set the pace, turn ideas into working services and campaigns, bring others with them, and make change you can point to. Co-founders are entrepreneurial: they spot openings others miss, move decisively, and create momentum. Co-founders build teams, drawing in volunteers who believe in our mission, care deeply about our clients, enjoy working with us, and keep one another going. Co-founders are bold: they are willing to innovate, to be first, and to change the status quo; they check the source, avoid assumptions, solve problems, make firm, collaborative, evidence-based decisions, and take responsibility for results. Co-founders are pioneers. If you want responsibility, pace, and the chance to pioneer new routes to justice and public impact, this is the place to build your career.

Our Recruitment Criteria

Ownership and follow-through

You are a self-starter who owns tasks and takes responsibility without waiting to be asked. You carry your work through to a tangible result. You define the problem, set a course, keep the right people informed, and deliver what you said you would.

Bold, informed judgement

You are willing to change accepted practice when the evidence supports it. You check primary sources rather than rely on assumptions, weigh real options and risks, make a clear, evidence-based, collaborative decision, and stand behind it.

Entrepreneurial drive

You spot openings other people miss and turn ideas into useful services, processes or campaigns. You move decisively and get others working on the plan alongside you with clear roles and timelines.

Planning under pressure

You keep priorities straight when time is tight. You organise people and tasks, set simple checkpoints, communicate early when plans shift and always deliver.

Inclusive practice

You design work that is easier for others to take part in with people who face barriers in mind. You identify what is getting in the way, make practical changes that remove those barriers, and check the effect with the people involved.

Clear communication

You write and speak in plain English and adjust tone and detail to suit clients, volunteers, partners and the public. You choose the right format for the moment and make it easy for people to act on what you say. You like feedback, don’t get offended and see it as a chance to improve.

Team-building and collaboration

You bring people with you and help groups perform well together. You draw in volunteers who believe in the mission and care about our clients, set shared expectations, handle disagreements well, and leave relationships stronger.

Constant learning

You improve your own practice and the system around you. You reflect honestly on what worked and what did not, learn quickly, and turn that learning into simple tools or habits that make future work better.

Prospectus are delighted to be supporting a key client within the sector who are recognised for their amazing, impactful work.  We’re looking for a highly skilled Data Platform Lead to design, build, and evolve a modern data platform that supports complex, high-impact work. This is a hands on technical leadership role, ideally suited to someone who is a data architect and engineer first, with the ability to guide a small team and work confidently with senior stakeholders.

You’ll lead the development of a scalable platform using Microsoft Fabric and Azure, shaping data architecture, engineering best practice, and the delivery of robust, trusted datasets. The environment involves large, sensitive and diverse data sources, so a strong understanding of data quality, lineage, and secure processing is essential.

This is a remote role (UK-based) with occasional travel for team or stakeholder sessions.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, build, and modernise the organisation’s data platform using Azure and Microsoft Fabric.
• Lead and mentor a small analytics and engineering team.
• Set technical direction for data modelling, pipelines, governance, and quality.
• Work closely with stakeholders to translate operational and strategic needs into clear data solutions.
• Promote modern engineering standards including Git, CI/CD, IaC, and Delta Lake.
• Ensure robust handling of complex and sensitive datasets from varied sources.

About You
You will have extensive hands-on experience in data engineering and data architecture as well as strong skills in SQL, Python, data modelling, ETL/ELT design, and orchestration.  You will have a proven background with Azure storage, compute, security and Microsoft Fabric components such as Dataflows, Lakehouse, Pipelines or Synapse and familiarity with Azure Data Factory, Git, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices.  You’ll also be a confident communicator able to influence and collaborate with both technical and non-technical colleagues.  Ideally, you will have experience leading technical teams and delivering high-quality, production-ready data solutions.  If you haven’t done this, you will need to demonstrate your ability to step up into a lead role.
