About us

Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet – and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate – we litigate and campaign to fix it.  

Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI. 

Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We’ve filed the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision, forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A-level students and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.

We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech.

The role

Foxglove is seeking a Digital Campaigner to deliver our digital campaigning, our digital communications, our social media and our website. This role would sit within our advocacy and communications team, which works towards stronger accountability for Big Tech, and an end to states’ misuse of algorithms and AI. 

We want people in power to put an end to tech abuses that negatively impact our lives. But we’re up against an army of Big Tech lobbyists, working to shield their industry – and its vast profits – from any form of restraint. That’s why we need to ensure that the public, and our representatives in government and politics, are armed with the facts and knowledge they need to stand up to Big Tech billionaires.

We’re looking for someone with significant experience in digital campaigning. The Digital Campaigner will not only identify these areas but act to implement the strategy they help devise – taking a hands-on and energetic approach. 

As part of a small and flexible team, you will also be expected to contribute to our wider areas of work as needed, across communications, advocacy and supporter campaigns. 

Job Description

Digital campaigns

• Develop and lead digital campaign strategies that support Foxglove’s litigation and advocacy work, translating our cases and work into compelling public-facing campaigns.

Supporter engagement

• Grow and steward Foxglove’s supporter base, reaching new audiences and fostering relationships with existing supporters.
• Support Foxglove in the development and delivery of our supporter growth strategy.
• Develop and deliver supporter communications – including coordinating a supporter communications grid, drafting and delivering regular email updates, newsletters, and action alerts – that inform and drive engagement.
• Segment and manage supporter lists to ensure the right messages reach the right audiences at the right time, maximising open rates, click-throughs, and conversion.
• Create pathways for supporters to deepen their involvement with Foxglove’s work, from signing a petition to becoming a supporter or donor.
• Work with colleagues to identify stories and voices from within Foxglove’s community that can strengthen campaigns and broaden public reach.

Social media

• Manage and grow Foxglove’s presence across relevant social media platforms (including LinkedIn, BlueSky, and others as appropriate), maintaining a consistent and distinctive voice.
• Plan and publish engaging content that explains Foxglove’s work, amplifies campaign moments, and drives traffic to key actions and resources.
• Develop and manage a social media content calendar, working across the team to ensure posts are timely, accurate, and tied to broader campaign goals.
• Track and analyse social media performance, using insights to iterate and improve content strategy.

Website management

• Take day-to-day responsibility for Foxglove’s website, ensuring it is kept up to date, well-organised, and optimised for search and user experience.
• Publish and edit content across the site, including case pages, blog posts, press releases, and campaign landing pages, working with colleagues to ensure accuracy and clarity.
• Identify and lead improvements to site structure, navigation, and functionality.
• Use privacy respecting analytics tools to monitor site performance, identify trends, and make evidence-based recommendations for improvement.
• Ensure campaign and action pages are functioning correctly and converting effectively and manage any technical issues in a timely way.

About us:

Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity enables families who have a child with a life-threatening or terminal illness to make the most of their time together, providing expert practical and emotional support where they need, it for as long as it is needed. For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other. We believe that no family should go through this alone, so we are here to change that.
