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.

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.
