About Reprieve
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.
About the Role
A member of the senior management team at Reprieve, the Director of Development and Outreach will develop and implement the strategy to raise the funds Reprieve needs to fulfil its mission. You will be responsible for leading a talented team responsible for securing funds from Trusts and Foundations, Statutory Bodies, Major Donors, events, corporate sources and the general public.

You will be able to think strategically about long-term goals and targets. You will have at least five years’ experience at a senior level and with the Joint Executive Directors you will take responsibility for the team achieving their targets and for ensuring Reprieve has the money it needs to do its work. The culture of philanthropy is embedded in the organisation. Fundraising is essential to what we do and the Joint Executive Directors and Trustees are all committed to success. We know that raising money is the backbone to the organisation. Quite simply we cannot do our life-saving and life-changing work without money.
You will have an excellent understanding of how budgets work and how to connect finance and fundraising. You will take leadership across the organisation in ensuring our funded projects are properly financially managed, there are processes in place to ensure the teams leading these work areas are well supported in their financial reporting obligations and there is organisational understanding around our financial situation and funding requirements. You will be adept at financial project management of comprehensive project proposals and plans. You will understand how we can use our restricted income and maximise opportunities for securing funds for specific projects. 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.
Reprieve has undergone a period of growth over the last five years, doubling our income.

The Director of Financial Sector Standards is one of three programmatic directors reporting to the CEO and is a member of ShareAction’s Leadership Team. The Leadership Team is responsible for developing and recommending ShareAction’s strategy to the Trustee Board and driving excellent performance throughout the organisation to achieve ShareAction’s mission, in line with its values.
The Director of Financial Sector Standards will lead and develop our work to raise standards of responsible finance globally. The Financial Sector Standards group currently comprises three teams: Research, Investors, and Banks. The foundation of this work is ShareAction’s research on the finance sector, notably our regular surveys to assess and publicly rank the performance of asset managers, insurers, banks and others in the finance sector. Under your leadership, our surveys will continue to provide the most respected, sophisticated and influential assessments of sustainability performance across the financial sector. These in turn will provide financial institutions, their clients, financial supervisors, policy makers and wider stakeholders with the information and recommendations they need to drive standards higher. Our industry rankings power a competitive race to the top and compel best practice in transparency.
Closely co-ordinated with our research, you will also lead our work to establish and develop enduring working relationships with firms and individual senior decision makers across the financial sector universe. This includes institutional asset owners, investment consulting firms, and wealth managers, as well as the biggest firms globally in asset management, insurance and banking. The teams you manage will also deliver high profile campaigns to accelerate the pace of change at firms falling below the standards we want to see. Whilst maintaining our independence from the sector, we believe our advocacy of higher responsible investment standards requires good relations with the sector and a deep understanding of the commercial dynamics and leverage points that can incentivise adoption of ambitious sustainability practices.
While the Financial Sector Standards group is the centre of gravity for our investor relationships, the group enables and coordinates effective investor engagement across the whole organisation, where it underpins our shareholder activism and corporate campaigning on ESG themes.

Animal suffering sadly comes in too many forms: from animals caught up in war and conflict, to the terrible conditions endured by countless farm animals, to imprisoned wildlife and the legal and illegal trade in fur and other animal parts, to the illegal puppy trade in the UK, to the unbelievably cruel dog and cat meat trade in South East Asia - everywhere, humans have an almost incalculable impact on the lives of millions of animals.
FOUR PAWS is the global animal welfare organisation for animals suffering under human influence. We reveal suffering, rescue animals in need and protect them, through our global approach and a breadth of impactful programmes and campaigns. We work towards a world where humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding, from grass-root to government level, from treating stray dogs and cats to rescuing animals from conflict zones.
