About Reprieve
Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation working to end the death penalty and abuses committed under the banner of national security. Founded in 1999, our mission remains critically relevant as governments worldwide increasingly adopt authoritarian tactics, expanding executive power at the expense of civil liberties.
You can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.
Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. We provide vital legal and investigative support to those facing execution and victims of rendition, torture, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killing, and citizenship stripping. Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, challenging states' most egregious human rights violations through strategic litigation, investigations, and advocacy.
We support cases in courts worldwide while building the legal and political momentum necessary to consign these practices to history.
Based in London with Fellows and partners globally, Reprieve operates at the intersection of law, policy, and human rights, working alongside governments, senior legal practitioners, and civil society to advance systemic change.
We collaborate closely with our independent partner organization Reprieve US.
About the Role
The role of the Media Officer is to support Reprieve’s communications through traditional and social media, in support of the organisation’s strategic and fundraising objectives. You will be responsible for building relationships with journalists, providing media advice to Reprieve staff, and working with colleagues to ensure external messaging is consistent in quotes, briefings, social media content, and on Reprieve’s website. You will help to find and develop stories, collaborating with journalists and external partners on media that has an impact: revealing human rights abuses, shaping policy and raising the profile of our clients.
The successful candidate will have excellent writing and communication skills, and a proven ability to produce exceptional work under pressure. They will have a deep understanding of all forms of media and how to use these platforms for maximum impact, and a track record of securing media coverage on challenging issues.
Length and Salary
This is a full-time role on a one-year fixed term contract, subject to extension depending on funding. The annual salary is £42,193 per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance.
This role is based in Reprieve’s London office. Reprieve operates a hybrid working model and we require staff to work 40% of their working hours from the London office and the rest of the week from home.

We are people from across the world standing up for humanity and human rights.
This is a pivotal moment for human rights and for Amnesty International UK. Around the world, authoritarianism is rising, press freedom is shrinking, surveillance is expanding, and inequality is deepening. In the UK, regressive protest laws, the Illegal Migration Act, systemic racism and hostile welfare systems show how urgently rights must be defended. At the same time, funding pressures across the non-profit sector make this fight more challenging, and more vital, than ever.
This is an extraordinary role, demanding both courage and vision. We are seeking a CEO who can be a steadying force and a strategic fundraiser, able to lead with cultural competence and integrity.
You will bring the breadth and depth of leadership experience needed to step confidently into a complex environment and, from the very start, unite members, activists, boards, staff and the wider global movement. You will be a visionary strategist who looks beyond short-term challenges and helps shape Amnesty’s future over the next decade, ensuring the organisation remains bold, relevant and sustainable, balancing movement-building with financial stewardship.
As a people-centred leader, you will bring emotional intelligence, resilience and the ability to inspire confidence, nurture a high-performing team, creating a culture of psychological safety and bringing people together in a polarised world. You will be a powerful communicator and ambassador, comfortable holding external space, building alliances, and telling Amnesty’s story with clarity and conviction.
Your financial acumen will allow you to navigate our dual structure, steward resources responsibly, and find innovative ways to grow income. Above all, you will lead as an, inspiring and collaborative change-maker: someone who listens deeply, respects diverse voices and leads democratically, while still taking clear, pragmatic decisions.
