We are seeking an experienced, dedicated, and passionate Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to join us at
an exciting stage in our history at SiMBA, as we embark on embedding and delivering upon a
refreshed vision, mission and strategy.
Our CEO will lead our team in meeting our strategic goals, work in collaboration with our Board of
Trustees to develop our strategic direction, and ensure that we are operationally effective whilst
raising the profile of SiMBA within the bereavement care sector.
Our CEO will focus on building strategic partnerships with other organisations with aligned goals and
values, cementing SiMBA’s niche amongst the range of charities who support bereaved families
through the loss of their baby, and will empower our fundraising team to raise the funds necessary
to achieve our goals.
Having a strong grasp of the challenges facing the Charity and bringing creativity, a practical and
commercial approach to decision making, as well as being a ‘people person’ is essential to help SiMBA
support as many bereaved families as possible in Scotland to grieve, honour and remember their
precious baby.
Expertise in strategic planning, financial management, and effective charity governance is critical.
Our CEO must guide our hard-working and dedicated team as we refine our offer and build our
impact and reach within Scotland.
Our CEO, along with all of our team, will have contact with people who have experienced the loss
of a baby; parents, family members, friends, colleagues and healthcare professionals who are
supporting them. Therefore, it is important to feel comfortable working in a bereavement
care environment and talking about baby loss with multiple stakeholders.

About Global Witness
Our goal is a more sustainable, just and equal planet where humanity is propelled forward, away from the toxic practices of the past. This means fossil fuels staying in the ground, climate-critical forests standing tall and those on the frontline fighting the climate crisis, who defend our planet, are protected from persecution and attacks.
We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of colour, women and younger generations. And that the necessary energy transition is done equitably and with the interests of those groups in mind.
To do this we have to stand up to the corporate drivers of the climate crisis - the fossil fuel companies that continue to extract and burn when the science is telling us to stop, the global banks financing deforestation and the businesses that turn a blind eye, or worse are complicit in, attacks on defenders.
For us to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for. Global Witness strives for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion as only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better and more just future.
About the role
It has never been a deadlier time for land and environmental defenders to protect their community, way of life, or environment. At Global Witness we’re campaigning alongside them, making sure their voices are heard and taking their fight to the corridors of power.
As a Campaign Strategy Lead you will lead strategic and impactful campaigns and investigations, accelerating international action to increase recognition and protection of land and environmental defenders who are standing up to climate wrecking industries.
About you
You’ll bring your significant experience and expertise in developing, leading and delivering campaign strategies with demonstrated change.
You embrace collaboration, bringing compelling and authentic communication skills where you listen, engage and influence at all levels, with a broad range of individuals and organisations.
You have demonstrable experience in creating a culture of teamwork where people feel empowered, respected, valued and accountable for the work they do.
Working for us
Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels. We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work. We value new perspectives, original ideas, and different ways of working. We believe that diverse views and experiences improve the way we do our work. We do our best to make our jobs accessible to all regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or identity.
We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary and 25 days annual leave (excl. Bank Holidays). We also offer healthcare insurance, wellbeing days and policies to support you during key life events.
This role is based in London and therefore to be considered you must be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK. We are working under a hybrid working model which requires at least 2 days in the office.
