The Hg Foundation is recruiting a new Programme Officer to support our vision for the tech workforce of the future to harness the talents of all, regardless of their background. We help underrepresented groups to access high quality jobs in tech by supporting education and employment-based programmes across the UK, Europe and North America. Since 2020, we've committed $40m across 40+ partnerships, supporting over 70,000 young people and adults. This newly created role offers an excellent opportunity to begin or advance your career in the non-profit and social mobility sector.
 
As Programme Officer, you'll play a vital role in our ambitious growth plans for the centrally managed mA*ths Online Programmes, supporting their delivery across four leading universities. The remaining time will be split between assisting with our STEM Education partnerships and other strategic initiatives, including scoping and research, the set up and management of new partnerships, communications and collaboration across our network.
 
We're looking for someone with 1-2 years of workplace experience who brings a positive attitude, strong organisational and administrative skills and the ability to pursue tasks logically and independently. You'll need an analytical mindset, excellent written communication, plus a genuine commitment to creating fairer chances in tech.
 
No previous non-profit experience is required, as the role is an opportunity to learn about the foundation sector - but the role could suit someone who has supported outreach, widening participation, charity or volunteering initiatives, or has an interest in supporting underrepresented groups to succeed in education and employment.
