Salary Band 2: £50,000-56,000 FTE dependent on experience, plus London Weighting if applicable

Transform Trade (TT) supports producers across the world – helping them to build a bright future for their communities and fight for a fairer trade system.

We work across Africa and Asia, and our focus is on making change in the farming, fashion and tea sectors.

Respect is the UK charity stopping perpetrators of domestic abuse. As part of our 2023–2028 Strategy, we are launching a new Centre for Excellence – a bold initiative to transform understanding of what works to end the perpetration of domestic abuse. Building on 25 years of innovation and leadership, the Centre will harness collective learning, foster collaboration beyond traditional partnerships, and create the evidence base for a radical shift in approach. 

The Centre for Excellence will drive two key outcomes: 

• Improved practice in developing and delivering safe, effective perpetrator responses. 

• Enhanced policymaking and commissioning informed by data, research, and best practice. 

About the Role 
We are seeking an ambitious and dynamic leader to shape and deliver this visionary initiative. You will set the strategic direction, establish a sustainable delivery and funding model, and lead early implementation work. Acting as a visible leader across Respect and beyond, you will connect our existing expertise with the Centre’s mission, and build strong partnerships with members, the VAWG sector, academia, and other stakeholders. 

About You 
You will bring strategic vision, experience of mobilising new initiatives, and deep knowledge of research, data, and practice in the domestic abuse perpetrator sector (or a related field). This is a unique opportunity to create lasting impact and drive systemic change.

About us

Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet – and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate – we litigate and campaign to fix it.  

Big Tech companies have become so large – gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data – that they’re now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere – threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers’ rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI. 

Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We’ve launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech’s harmful business models, supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama – winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We’ve filed the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision over the government’s failure to properly assess their environmental impact. We’ve forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm, helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension’s use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.

We are a small but growing team of lawyers, communications experts, and campaigners. Our work is global, and we work in partnership with lawyers, civil society, unions, and people impacted by Big Tech.
