The Head of Syria and Iraq Detention Project is responsible for overseeing Reprieve’s work on detention cases in North East Syria (NES) and Iraq.

There are currently thousands of people indefinitely detained in camps in North East Syria, in conditions the UN has described as “deplorable and inhumane”. Others have been transferred to Iraq or Assad-controlled Syria, where they have faced torture and the death penalty without anything resembling due process.

Reprieve’s Syria and Iraq Projects aim to ensure that individuals detained in Syria and Iraq are treated in line with international law, and not subjected to the death penalty, extrajudicial execution, arbitrary detention, torture or rendition. We also aim to challenge and change flawed ‘war on terror’ narratives and legal and political frameworks – including in the UK, Europe and the US – that engender state-sanctioned discrimination and abuse and undermine the rule of law and human rights.

You will be responsible for developing and implementing strategies using a dynamic approach in which each of Reprieve’s methodologies—casework, investigation, litigation, political and public engagement, outreach and support for affected communities—connect with one another in pursuit of saving clients’ lives and addressing structural rights violations. You are an experienced campaigner and advocate, with significant legal, casework or litigation experience and strong writing skills. You have demonstrated experience leading teams and managing a complex portfolio of cases.

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 new non-profit that exists to make tech fair for us all.  In just a year, we’ve won all three of our first cases fighting for tech justice in the UK. A fairer future is within reach. This summer, thousands of students across the UK suddenly saw data power being exercised when their school grades were slashed by a government algorithm. They rose up against this injustice, and their protests – combined with a legal case and a campaign we ran – forced change.

We’re now recruiting for a Head of Communications. The post holder will be responsible for all public communications: they will run our social media and develop campaigns and will also support our traditional press engagement. They'll have a great eye for a story, a pithy approach to social media and will brim with ideas for creative content. They'll lift up the people we help, amplify our demands and wins, and grow our supporters and followers.We know this is a broad role, and we are looking for someone up for a challenge.

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. We’re standing up to the tech giants who exploit our attention for profit. And we’re pushing to control abusive tech that’s trafficked from the UK and Europe to abuse people abroad.

In our first 12 months we’ve forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS—the ‘NHS Covid-19 data deals’. We’ve put a stop to a Home Office’s racist ‘visa streaming algorithm’. We helped make grading fair for every student in the UK by challenging the Ofqual algorithm. And we’ve helped over 360 Facebook workers speak out against their harmful workplace conditions. We’re just getting started. We hope you want to join us.

We’ve punched above our weight in terms of press coverage, having been featured in the New Yorker, the New York Times, Vice, the Guardian, the BBC, the Today Programme, Good Morning Britain and more, but we are looking to grow our reach and audience with your help.

About you 

You are an exceptional communicator. You write and speak with absolute clarity and concision. You have an uncanny knack for using creative stories to bring a case or campaign to life. 

You are a self-starter with the initiative to set your own tasks and find opportunities, but the team-spiritedness to contribute to a shared goal and celebrate others’ work. You’re OK with light-touch administrative support and will ‘muck in’ for the team when you need to.

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 you are a top-flight communicator 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.
