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, 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 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.
The role
As Legal Administrator, you will be responsible for supporting Foxglove’s lawyers and the external law firms with whom we partner, providing comprehensive secretarial and administrative support across all strands of our work including complex and high profile human rights and environmental cases.
The role will suit someone who has provided administrative support for a legal team before but that previous experience is not crucial. Being detail oriented, energetic and socially driven is more important to us.
Job Description
- Supporting the management of our legal projects and cases
- Logistical and general administrative planning
- Using a range of databases and software to ensure information and documents are stored securely, in the right place, and in line with confidentiality and data protection obligations
- Managing deadlines and case documentation
- Tracking completion of actions and ensuring timely responses
- Maintaining and updating master case lists
- Liaising with counsel and other stakeholders
- General secretarial and administrative support
Person specification
- An interest in tech-justice and Foxglove’s work
- Minimum of three years relevant experience
- Exceptional organizational skills, proactive and detail-oriented
- High level of speed and accuracy
- A clear, creative, confident and concise verbal and written communicator
- Ability to deliver high quality work on deadline
- Ability to sensitively support vulnerable individuals
- A self-starter / able to work independently
- Flexible and conscientious approach with the ability to manage competing priorities
- A warm and sensitive manner when supporting Foxglove’s partners
- Right to work in the UK
Length and salary
This is a permanent part-time role with a six-month probation period.
How to apply
Please make your application via Applied (redirection link provided below), answering the application questions and uploading your CV. We will not review applications sent via a job board or to our email. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis with first round interviews likely to take place on 11 March for selected candidates.
Foxglove does not use AI in its recruitment processes, except to detect applications for AI use. As a tech-justice organisation, we ask the same of our candidates.
Foxglove is growing and we are striving to build a team that is inclusive. We will create a diverse and adaptable environment where we support people to do their best work. We believe an effective and creative team is made up of people from different walks of life. You can read more about how we work and what we offer our staff on our website.
