We want to change the world for people affected by blood cancer, and to do this we know we first need to change ourselves.

We’re looking for a Digital Projects Lead to play a key role in our business transformation.

You’ll reshape how we work, transforming how we make decisions, manage projects and evaluate our impact. You’ll ensure we increase our digital and data skills to put us in the best position to deliver out strategic objectives. And you’ll lead the development of a new support service that will transform the way we reach and engage with people affected by blood cancer.

Who we are

We’ve been on the frontline of the world’s response to HIV and AIDS for over 25 years, working with marginalised people who are denied HIV prevention and treatment simply because of who they are and where they live.

Set up in 1993 to work with community groups in the countries most affected by the global AIDS epidemic, we’ve continually adapted our approach, looking for innovative ways to break down the barriers that marginalise people living with, or at risk of acquiring, HIV. All with one goal in mind – a future free from AIDS for everyone, everywhere.

Everything we do is rooted in our two key beliefs:

• That the lives of all human beings are of equal value.
• That everyone has the right to access the HIV information and services they need for a healthy life.

Today, we work with communities in more than 40 countries, taking local, national and global action on HIV, health and human rights.

As a global partnership that is open to everyone, we can only do what we do – and achieve what we want to achieve – by working with partners from grassroots community groups to national governments. Our partners drive change where it matters, shaking up the status quo and making a noise on issues the world often chooses to ignore.​

Are you the Candidate we’re looking for?

We are looking for a strong strategic thinker who can respond to the changing funding landscape. You are a dynamic leader, with highly developed interpersonal and influencing skills, who will bring significant experience and a track record of successfully securing large grants and contracts, and experience of implementing successful donor engagement partnerships. You are committed to fostering a high-performance culture and will delegate thoughtfully to give colleagues real accountability and authority. You will strive to breathe energy into Frontline AIDS’ Global Plan of Action, promoting it as a framework for collective action and joint investment by a wide range of donors, including governments, multilaterals, Trusts and Foundations, and corporate partners. ​
