Our cases respond to torture as an individual crime in national and international law, and as a human rights violation with state responsibility. We apply our expertise in torture, reparation, and the rights of victims to national and international courts. Through our victim-centred strategic litigation we are able to have an impact beyond the individual case to address the root causes of torture and to challenge impunity.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT / OUTREACH MANAGER: CHARITY

Location  City of London,

Job Type  Permanent,  Full-Time,  Possibly Part-time.

We are looking for an experienced person to help expand the activities and awareness of a UK registered charitable Foundation. It is a permanent position, but could initially be on a part-time basis, becoming full-time later.   Candidates should be presentable, able to speak clearly and well, have excellent written English, and be reasonably comfortable with scientific or engineering topics.  Knowledge of one or more European languages would be useful.  They must have a strong track record of successful business development, preferably for non-profits.

What Litus is trying to do is very challenging.  In addition to the major project outlined below, we have just started a campaign for the immediate creation of a new international agency or sub-agency to delay / stop irreversible runaway global heating, projected by experts to kick in around 4 to 8 years from now.  Within that time-frame, current mitigation efforts will have a negligible net effect and are being swamped by increasing fires, deforestation and melting.  Many new strategies for such a rapid-action agency are proposed.  We are looking for someone who is passionate about the need to slow climate change.

JOB  ROLE

• Establishing relationships with companies, research / academic institutes, government agencies and individuals; mainly to campaign for a new agency to tackle irreversible runaway heating;
• Helping to identify potential sponsors and assisting with searches for suitable candidates for the board and advisory board;
• Helping with applications for grants / loans /donations, soliciting support from individuals, companies and non-profit organisations;
• Assisting with the design and production of business development materials;
• Managing the Litus website content and coordinating media publications;
• Properly and cost-effectively managing office tasks (eg filing, libraries) associated with the work;
• Representing the Foundation at conferences and key meetings.

Good compensation is offered, depending on ability and experience.  Applicant will have own small room in airy office with 2-meter seating.  If this key environmental and societal position is of interest, please send a cover letter and a CV 

THE  LITUS  FOUNDATION

The Litus Foundation was formed expressly to help slow climate change and help living beings adapt to it.

Litus' principal project is developing extreme-efficiency uncooled engines, for all uses and fuels. They do not yet exist; people are not aware that they are possible; apparently only Litus is developing them.  The engines are for electricity generation, pumps, compressors, ships, agricultural and mining equipment, and vehicles. 

Around 40% of man-made CO2 comes from internal combustion (IC) engines.  For over 130 years, every time a piston engine has run, 30% to 50% of fuel energy has been dissipated through water- or air-based cooling systems and general radiation. This waste should not continue.  A switch from cooled to uncooled engines could cut global man-made CO2 by around 20% within a decade or two.  It is perhaps the single biggest and quickest route towards limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C.
