Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999. Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

The US Death Penalty Project Manager is responsible for coordinating the US death penalty area at Reprieve.  You will be an integral member of the US Death Penalty Team, and will work closely with Reprieve’s Joint Executive Directors, Directors, Deputy Directors, Head of US Death Penalty Casework, and alongside Reprieve US staff, including its Deputy Director.

In this role, you will be responsible for managing a team [and] implementing strategies to achieve Reprieve’s goals in relation to the US death penalty. The work you will be managing will include: advocacy, investigation, strategic litigation, corporate engagement and public education focused around preventing the misuse of medicines in lethal injections and debunking the myth of the ‘humane’ execution, and casework management in support of Reprieve’s individual US death penalty cases.

Sense about Science is a unique campaigning charity that has turned the case for sound science and evidence into popular campaigns such as Ask for Evidence. It has run effective global initiatives to expand and protect discussions of evidence, including Transparency of Evidence and AllTrials, and to equip the public, media and decision makers with 21st Century tools for understanding evidence.  

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead an exciting new long-term project to help communities negotiate information about risk. The case for risk literacy has been often stated, from food safety to energy generation. Institutions and governments now need to learn more about what people want and need when they are engaged in discussing risks and safety. This project will develop a global network of people who lead risk literacy in their communities and develop a user-driven platform for resources and assimilating experiences. The project, which is set to run for 5 years following a successful 2-year phase, is central to Sense About Science’s mission to equip people and their communities to engage with evidence and to empower them to weigh up risks and benefits.

The role involves:

• Developing a project plan for delivery of the project, with activities and decision points
• Ensuring the timely and effective delivery of all project activities, working with the small project team, partners and contributors
• Generating engaging content for the risk literacy platform and managing others to deliver suitable material
• Cultivating successful relationships, ranging from community groups to experts and senior figures at international government agencies, and working with the director to secure commitments from major institutions to further the goals of the project
• Monitoring progress and impact against objectives and reporting monthly to the project steering group
• Organising and managing meetings
• Managing the project budget and expenditure, with the support of the Head of Programmes and Operations
• Promoting the project externally, in writing and at meetings and speaking at events

You will be a graduate in any field with experience of research evidence and motivated by the idea of empowering people to make sense of statistics, and you’ll have experience in managing projects beyond academic research. You’ll need to write well for popular readers and have strengths in analysing and conveying complex issues effectively.  You need to be confident and comfortable dealing with a range of people and organisations, from multilateral institutions like the World Bank to community groups such as fishing cooperatives. Working sensitively and effectively across different cultures and geographic locations is essential. You need to be able to manage multiple demands and prioritise to meet objectives. Familiarity with web CMS systems (ideally wordpress) or other platforms would be an advantage.

You will be motivated and ambitious about the potential of this project to further the practical understanding of risk. An understanding of risk and risk literacy may be an advantage, but if you are intellectually curious and a quick learner, we would be keen to hear from you.

Salary £36,000 p/a. This is a fixed term contract of 20 months (with the possibility of extension, subject to funding). Central London (W1). Will include some travel and out of hours activity.

Role is currently home-based within Covid-19 guidelines, but will be based in office when restrictions are lifted. 

First round interviews will be held w/b 26th April with second round interviews w/b 3rd May.

Please note that we will not be able to notify those candidates who have not been shortlisted.

Art Fund is the national fundraising charity for art. We believe that art can make you see, think and feel differently, and through our work we help make art more accessible to as many visitors as possible, wherever they are.

We give grants to help museums and galleries acquire works of art for their collections, share them with wide audiences, and support the training and professional development of curators. We are supported by our growing membership of 130,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many trusts, foundations and other individuals.

Art Fund Museum of the Year is the biggest museum prize in the world and the UK’s largest arts award. Through the prize we celebrate exceptional museums and galleries, reward imaginative work, and inspire more people to visit. The prize is judged by an independent panel, who pick one outstanding winner from a shortlist of five finalists.

Museum doors were closed for much of last year and many faced their greatest of challenges. Despite this museums and galleries across the UK have realized amazing and imaginative work for their communities. As venues start to welcome back visitors, we want to celebrate their resilience and achievements with the widest possible audience. Art Fund Museum of the Year 2021 is a central part in this ambition. 

We are recruiting an experienced and highly skilled freelance Project Manager to help deliver Art Fund Museum of the Year 2021, recognizing an extraordinary year. The Project Manager will play an important role in managing the prize and key stakeholder relationships. The 2021 prize will be realised at a fast pace, working to achieve a set of strategic objectives which will be used to evaluate the outcomes and benchmark success. The ideal candidate will have good working knowledge and understanding of the UK museums and galleries sector and experience of project management in a public body or charity. Experience of managing prizes, awards or grant making programmes would also be desirable.

They will have strong interpersonal skills and be able to develop good relationships at all levels, both internally and with external contacts. They will have plenty of energy, drive, and enthusiasm and be willing to be proactive, hands-on, and a great team player. They will have excellent project management and organisational skills, exemplary time-management, demonstrable experience of delivering projects in line with targeted timescales and budgets, and knowledge of evaluation tools and metrics.
