The Fundraising Manager post is a role for someone with two years’ experience, or more, of charity sector fundraising. We are looking for an enthusiastic, driven, creative thinker to increase our community fundraising, non-pharma corporate and small grant income streams.

Working closely with senior staff including the CEO, Communications Manager and our team of Voluntary Grant Fundraisers, you will help shape and deliver an innovative fundraising strategy.

The face of power has changed. Until recently, people treated unfairly could often point to a person responsible: that policeman stopped me for no reason, that corporate boss cut my pay, that bureaucrat denied my mother a visa. 

Injustice remains, but today it often hides behind a technical veneer.  Decisions that affect the lives of thousands are made, or heavily influenced, by computer systems the public was never asked about and they don’t yet see. From insurers to police to Amazon and Facebook, power is exercised through algorithmic systems used to grade us and sort us. 

That’s where we come in. Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make tech fair for us all.In our first two years we forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for all A level students in the UK, forced the government to extend the GP data grab deadline and helped over 360 Facebook workers speak out against their harmful workplace conditions. We’re just getting started. We hope you want to join us. 

Foxglove is a young organisation and we are looking for someone to help manage our finances and grow our supporter base. We are funded by donations from members of the public as well as trusts and foundations. We hope our Fundraising and Finance Coordinator will introduce Foxglove to new audiences, work closely with existing supporters and support grant fundraising. The post holder will be excellent at spotting new opportunities, will have exceptional administration skills and be an effective communicator.

About us 

Foxglove is a small, growing team of lawyers, activists and communications specialists. We investigate, litigate, and advocate for justice in technology. We’re working across Europe, helping some of tech’s most vulnerable workers organise for better conditions. And we’re standing up to the tech giants who exploit our attention for profit.

 About you 

You are highly organised, an effective communicator and experienced in supporter engagement and non-profit fundraising. You are a self-starter with the initiative to set your own tasks and find opportunities, but also have team-spiritedness to contribute to a shared goal and celebrate others’ work.

You value a workplace that is fun and irreverent, and you know social change is a marathon, not a sprint. We think it takes collective effort to build something that lasts, not a hero or a martyr. If this role and the Foxglove mission excites you, we would love to hear from you. We are actively working to improve our diversity – because an effective and creative team is made of people from different walks of life.

Desirable. 

• Passion for tech-justice issues
