• Location: Office near Liverpool Street, with opportunity for blended working.

About us
Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is the UK’s leading independent anti-corruption organisation. We are a member of the Transparency International global movement made up of more than 110 country chapters with the vision for a world where people’s lives, government, business and society are free from corruption.  We believe in a world where the health of our institutions is enhanced so they can better support the people they are intended for; a world where we can trust the integrity of those in authority and in business, and a world where there is no impunity for the corrupt at home or abroad.

Our ground-breaking research and work with governments, business and civil society exposes serious governance issues in the UK and where the UK contributes to corruption abroad. Moreover, as the world struggles to rebuild in the shadow of COVID-19, to deal with devastating events like the fall of Afghanistan, and the need to tackle corruption makes front-page news, our global programmes addressing corruption in health and defence and security are increasingly important.

The Fundraising Officer will be joining TI-UK at a pivotal time. We have just launched our ambitious new 10 year strategy setting out how TI-UK will tackle corruption now and in the years to come.  Responsibility for securing the crucial donor support sits within our small but dynamic Evidence and Engagement Team, who lead the organisation’s fundraising, communications, and evidence and impact.

• Assisting in coordinating and drafting applications for larger funders
• Helping to report on project and programme impact, promoting TI-UK’s success amongst key stakeholders via donor reporting, contributing to social media content and our newsletter.

2. Use your flair for engaging with others to nurture and grow supporter relationships, fundraised income and our pipeline through:

• Tracking donations, thanking donors, and contributing to maximising Gift Aid income.
• Building deeper relationships with those interested in supporting TI-UK both directly and through growing our ‘Friends of TI-UK’ community and support through events like the Big Give.  

3. Proactively contribute to building a donor portfolio and delivery of fundraising targets: Taking responsibility for identifying, applying to and managing donor relationships with a portfolio of smaller trusts and foundations and individuals, seeking unrestricted funding where possible.

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around”, but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries, or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• Advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• Campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• Pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

You would ensure that the governance of ShareAction and related entities is efficiently and effectively managed in accordance with external regulatory compliance obligations and internal constitutional and administrative procedures. You would also act as the de-facto company secretary as the key interface between ShareAction’s Leadership Team and its Trustees.

You would be responsible for the continuous improvement of ShareAction’s governance through the development and implementation of a programme of work designed to ensure alignment with the recommended practice outlined in the Charity Governance Code. As a key enabler of good governance, you will also be responsible for establishing and maintaining a comprehensive and effective organisation-wide policy framework that ensures compliance with laws and regulations, gives guidance for decision-making, and streamline internal processes.

Key responsibilities

The role is roughly split into the following parts:

Governance framework

• Support the effective alignment of high-level organisational planning, governance and decision making to ensure the appropriate and consistent delegation of responsibility throughout ShareAction
• Develop and implement a short- to medium-term strategy to deliver continuous governance improvement in line with recommended practices outlined in the Charity Governance Code
• Liaise with the Board and Committee Chairs, CEO and Leadership Team, as appropriate; lead the development and maintenance of a forward-looking calendar that includes the Board and Committee meetings and strategy away days
• Manage and co-ordinate ShareAction’s suite of governance policies, working with the respective Directors and Committee/Board Chairs to ensure ShareAction has a comprehensive governance policy framework that has clear responsibilities and accountabilities throughout the organisation
• Identify and manage governance risks, conflicts of interest and gift registers
• Provide advice on governance and compliance matters to key stakeholders and keep abreast of and ensure compliance with regulatory changes in the governance sphere

Trustee board and committee support

• Lead the delivery of effective and productive Board and Committee meetings through effective pre-meeting engagement and planning, agenda setting in liaison with the CEO and Chair, paper collation and circulation, meeting delivery and logistics, and the preparation and presentation of minutes and actions
• Lead the delivery of effective Annual General Meetings (and any Extraordinary General Meetings)
• Manage the process of Trustee recruitment and induction in liaison with the Chair of the Governance and Nominations Committee
• Support Board succession planning, Board and Trustee development and Board performance reviews

Compliance, regulation and risk

• Ensure the compliance of ShareAction with the requirements and guidelines of the UK Charity Commission and Companies House
• Ensure the compliance of ShareAction Europe with the requirements and guidelines of the Belgian regulatory authorities
• Support the Director of Finance and Operations in the operation of ShareAction’s risk management policy by scheduling meetings, working with risk owners to track action plans, and update reporting
• Assist the Director of Finance and Operations in the creation of legal entities in the UK or overseas
• Manage any necessary update to the Articles of Association of either ShareAction, ShareAction Europe or others
• Support the Director of Finance and Operations in the preparation of the Trustees’ Report (front half of the annual report)

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive, and the role might change slightly from time to time.

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

Essential

• Significant experience of governance best practice within a third- or public-sector setting
• Proven track record of a diplomatic approach and the confidence to influence and negotiate with colleagues at all levels (including Board Members)
• Evidence of integrity and discretion when handling confidential and sensitive information
• Ability to plan, manage and prioritise a number of work streams simultaneously
• Excellent written communication skills for report, minute, and agenda writing, document editing and general correspondence
• Experience of arranging and preparing for senior level meetings, including preparing agendas, notes of decisions and papers, and making sure the documentation is despatched on time and in accordance with policy and procedures
• Experience of drafting and interpreting governance documents and designing mechanisms for the implementation of governance best practice
• Experience of developing and supporting learning and development and appraisal/performance review systems at Board level
• Understanding of risk management
• Committed to equality and diversity
