Population Matters is looking for an experienced Senior Campaigner to play a key role in achieving our vision of a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and a healthy planet.
The Senior Campaigner will be a role model and driver of success in our four-person Campaigns and Communications team. You will help shape our policies and strategy, but most important of all will relish the responsibility of delivering designated campaigns to a high professional standard, with support from the Head of Campaigns but a great deal of independence. This role requires at least three years’ campaigning experience, or similar, in the charity/NGO sector.
Population Matters has no central office - the role is home-based and, in line with our strategy of increasing Population Matters’ global reach, you may be based in any country. Flexibility in working hours can be negotiated for overseas candidates but you will be expected to regularly meet and work directly with colleagues during UK working hours. Being self-motivated, disciplined and able to work on your own initiative and virtually is therefore a key requirement for this role. Some travel may be required (expenses paid).
Your successful track record as a campaigner will show your in-depth understanding of the process of developing effective campaigns, and how to implement and adapt them in changing circumstances. You are adept at establishing and developing great stakeholder relationships, and confident in representing your organisation at events, at meetings and in the media. You are sensitive to the challenges and opportunities of developing and managing relationships with individuals and organisations internationally. You also have the analytical and communication skills needed to bring our message home to audiences of all kinds, including the ability to write authoritative and impactful reports, lobbying material and other communications.
Most importantly, you are passionate about protecting our planet, securing global justice, empowering people and communicating our positive message. You will be tackling challenging issues and obstacles, including institutional inertia, entrenched views, and sometimes suspicion of the population agenda. You will need to be flexible, creative, committed and dogged, and you’ll be working in a supportive, committed team where those skills will be shared and valued.
About Us
Population Matters (PM) is a UK-based charity working globally to achieve a sustainable future for people and planet.
Our Vision is a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all.
Our Mission is to drive positive, large-scale action through fostering choices that help achieve a sustainable human population and regenerate our environment.
Our Approach is to campaign, inform, lobby, undertake research and do all we can to encourage an open, fair-minded and constructive debate about population. We promote positive, practical, ethical solutions – encouraging smaller families, inspiring people to consume sustainably, with the aim of enabling everyone to enjoy a decent quality of life whilst respecting and sustaining the natural ecosystems upon which all life on earth depends.
We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family. We support human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice.
OUR CURRENT CONTEXT
From three employees in 2016 to 10 in 2020, Population Matters has grown its team and ambitions significantly in the last few years. Our goal is ‘Take PM Global’ over the next 3-5 years, extending our reach and impact globally, strengthening existing partnerships and forging new ones, and influencing and effecting change through international policy forums and processes. In developing these new relationships and activities, we will be respectful, sensitive and willing to learn from our partners and other stakeholders. We will maintain a truly global perspective, whilst in parallel, we will continue to enable individuals and communities to make informed choices at the personal and grassroots level.
Join our campaigns team
We have a positive story to tell, and much to achieve. Growing human population is one of the most important drivers of our environmental crisis and in many parts of the world, is holding people back from leading the lives they deserve to lead. Alongside reckless and unsustainable consumption, the billions we’ve added to our numbers in the last few decades are punishing our planet. Multiple scientific studies and international reports repeatedly affirm that it must be tackled if we’re to contain environmental crises such as the climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction. Meanwhile, from poverty to patriarchy, population is inextricably linked with some of our gravest economic and social global justice issues.
The good news is that the solutions are all positive:
- Eradicate poverty and inequality
- Empower women and girls
- Provide a proper education for all
- Ensure everyone is free and able to use modern family planning
- Promote the benefits of smaller families
Population is far from the only driver of our current environmental crisis, and Population Matters supports multiple solutions to address it. Our role, however, is to highlight this one, and help it assume its proper place on the policy agenda. We are not just the only registered charity addressing this issue in the UK, we are the largest and most effective campaigning organisation on population internationally.
Leveraging scientific consensus and public concern to achieve change is our challenge, and our opportunity. We need an ambitious, capable and brave campaigner, willing to tackle inertia, misunderstanding and prejudice, forge positive relationships with friends and allies, and find effective ways of promoting the effective, ethical solutions that will empower people, improve lives, protect our planet and help achieve global justice.
Salary Range and Terms and Conditions
UK based: Salary range: £30-35,000pa; 6% employer’s pension contribution
Contractor status on suitable terms will be considered for overseas candidates
Population Matters is a virtual organisation and the position is home-based, with regular meetings by video and, where possible, in person with other members of the team. Some travel within (for UK-post holders), to, and/or outside the UK is likely (expenses paid). The role is offered on a full-time basis, but we are willing to consider other arrangements in certain circumstances.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Population Matters is an inclusive and diversity-friendly employer. We value difference, promote equality and challenge discrimination, enhancing our organisational capability. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age or any other category protected by law.
Please apply by submitting a CV and covering letter (no more than 500 words) via CharityJobs

About us
Pro Bono Economics uses economics to empower the social sector and to increase wellbeing across the UK. We combine project work for individual charities and social enterprises with policy research that can drive systemic change.
We have worked with over 500 charities since our inception in 2009. Working with our network of both experienced consultant economists and economist volunteers from across the private, public and third sectors, we help charities and social enterprises appreciate their economic and social impact and so improve their overall effectiveness.
The core deliverables of the services team are impact measurement and evaluations, considered through an economic lens. We work with charities right through their impact measurement lifecycle by:
- Helping them to develop a clear logic model for how their activities link to the outcomes they want to see and identify what data they need to capture, as well as what publicly available data sources they can draw on.
- Providing analytical support to allow charities to make statements such as ‘for every £1 invested in our work, we deliver £x of benefits to wider society’ and/or demonstrate their value in wellbeing terms. Organisations have used the findings from our evaluations to support campaigning, fundraising and to improve service delivery.
More recently, we have embarked on an exciting new phase of our development, adding a dedicated in-house research and policy function to supplement our charity projects with ‘macro’ insights into the value and the potential of civil society in the 2020s. Armed with fresh content, we want to play an enhanced role in actively shaping the policy debate in the UK.

This role has been funded as the result of the generosity of our supporters, who wished to enhance our work to bring lived experience to the forefront of discussions of how COVID-19 has exacerbated existing inequalities.
Building on our #EverydayInequality platform, the role will develop participative research, leading on collating, curating and analysing the experiences of a diverse range of people affected by COVID-19, in order to complement the academic data available. The postholder will also help to develop The Equality Trust’s wider #EverydayInequality survey in 2021.
About the role
The postholder will provide and cluster accessible evidence on how everyday inequality shapes people’s lives and experiences across the UK, and in doing so provide new insights of shared and differing experiences. These will also inform the design and dissemination of the #EverydayInequality COVID-19 Survey.
A vital part of the role is to empower those traditionally unheard and overlooked groups to tell their stories and challenge inequality by doing so. In addition, we want to understand more comprehensively what those experiencing the sharp end of inequality would like to change, and what policy, social or corporate improvements they would call for. The postholder will also grow the representation and participation of citizens in campaigns and politics as well as mapping the new trends in inequality that are COVID-19 related. We recognise that intersectionality is a complex part of how individuals have experienced inequality and COVID-19 and we are keen to draw this out in our research.
Responsibilities include
- Carry out qualitative research, including setting up, designing and conducting interviews, and supporting others to do so through peer and user-led research.
- Keeping expertise up-to-date in the areas of inequalities deemed as priorities by the team, through proactive scanning of relevant environments.

- Drafting reports, case studies and providing analysis for media and campaigning work and briefings.
- Supporting the organisation to develop the #EverydayInequality COVID-19 survey.
- Managing / commissioning and/or contributing to the production of case studies in a variety of media, including blogs, podcasts, film and interviews.
- Writing and/or managing the writing of reports and articles.
- Supporting the organisation to respond to requests from a range of stakeholders that may include the media, policy makers, civil servants, Equality Trust supporters and local groups.
About you
Essential experience:
- Track record of engaging people from diverse backgrounds in research and campaigning activities.
- Experienced in conducting qualitative research interviews, workshops and ability to support others to do so as peer researchers.
- Experienced in monitoring and evaluating the impact of participation work
- Experience of working effectively as part of a small team.
Abilities and Skills:

- Proactive with initiative, actively seeking information from internal or external sources as required
- Good interpersonal skills, ability to empathise, influence and collaborate with a range of internal and external stakeholders, in a sensitive manner.
- Knowledge of, or interest in, social policy or social epidemiology, ideally relating to communities, health, education, criminality, and/or social inequalities and intersectionality.
- Deadline driven, able to remain calm in the face of several simultaneous deadlines
- Strong IT skills and ability to update a website and use Excel.
- Meticulous attention to detail
- Willingness and ability to work flexible hours when needed, for which TOIL will be given
