Internet Matters is seeking a Head of Fundraising who will build partnerships with the world’s biggest tech companies to safeguard children’s digital well-being.

Who we are.

Internet Matters was established in response to the challenges of safeguarding children’s well-being as they access digital platforms and content. The internet is a vital tool for learning and communication and it’s right that children have access to it, but, like all tools, it must be used safely.

Internet Matters believes that by collaborating with industry leaders, such as Google, Samsung, Meta and TikTok, alongside experts in government norms and practices can be established which safeguard children while allowing their online lives to remain fun and fulfilling.

In order to achieve this goal, Internet Matters focuses on the following areas:

• Supporting families and professionals – creating tailored and age-specific resources in collaboration with online safety experts for parents and schools.
• Raising Awareness – running award-winning campaigns to highlight key issues children face online.
• Sharing insights – carrying out regular research on important topics and sharing with child safety networks.
• Working with policymakers – work with policymakers across the political spectrum to ensure child internet safety is prioritised.

About the role.

Head of Fundraising is one of the most critical and most challenging roles in the organisation and requires a highly skilled relationship builder.

You’ll be responsible for all fundraising activities and will hold key relationships with the biggest companies in the world.

By providing excellent stewardship and engagement opportunities you’ll ensure these vital partners continue to contribute towards online child safety.

You’ll secure not only industry buy-in and participation but the funding required to carry out the research, advocacy and policy work Internet Matters carry out.

You’ll also develop and implement the fundraising strategy across core funding streams, primarily through existing partners but also:

• Grants
• Commissioned research and policy work
• Securing new corporate partners

Each relationship with partners is bespoke and highly valued.

You’ll work to ensure these partnerships are long-term and mutually beneficial, spotting opportunities to deepen relationships and for business development to generate revenue for the charity outside of fundraised income.

This is a role that affords you a high degree of autonomy with a supportive team around you.

By its nature, the work of Internet Matters is fast-moving and responsive to new issues and technologies that emerge so this postholder must be adaptable.

Your creativity will be crucial in making this position a success.

Who we are looking for.

We are seeking an expert relationship and partnership builder. You will be adept at varying your tone and approach to suit all audiences, internal and external, as well as having the vision to spot and seize opportunities.

Ideal candidates will come from a small charity or corporate social responsibility background with experience in creating meaningful, long-term and mutually beneficial partnerships with significant public and private institutions.

Successful applicants will be comfortable operating at both a strategic and operational level and understand that in a small charity, close collaboration is critical.
