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. We’ve supported tech workers and their unions to file cases challenging union busting at Google, Amazon and TikTok. We urged state regulators worldwide to stop Google’s theft of independent news. We won the UK’s first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision and filed the first such case in South Africa. We 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 have much more in the works and we hope you want to join us.
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.
About you
You are an experienced social change leader who thrives at the intersection of politics, law and communications. You know that court wins alone don't create lasting change – it takes a compelling public narrative and a movement to back it up. You're energised by the prospect of what a well-run Foxglove can bring to the fight for tech justice and thrive in fast-moving environments and complex coalitions – holding a room, building a movement, and keeping a small team motivated and focused. You are a self-starter with the judgement to prioritise and the generosity to support others. You understand that Foxglove's power comes from the communities we work with as much as the cases we bring. If that's you, and the Foxglove mission excites you, we would love to hear from you.
The role
This is a fixed-term maternity cover post for 1 year. The post holder will step into the co-Executive Director role with co-responsibility for Foxglove's strategy, impact, advocacy, operations, fundraising and public facing work.

5.Champion a culture of impact, monitoring and evaluation across the organisation, ensuring Foxglove can clearly demonstrate the change it is achieving internally and externally.

Advocacy and Campaigns
1.Oversee the work of Foxglove's advocacy team (led by our Director of Advocacy) and shape our overall approach to campaigning across digital, media and grassroots channels.
2.Build and maintain relationships with a wide range of allies – civil society organisations, unions, policymakers, regulators, journalists, academics, and international partners – to strengthen Foxglove's reach and influence.
3.Spot and pursue new opportunities for campaigns, litigation, coalition-building and advocacy, keeping Foxglove responsive to a fast-changing tech and policy landscape.
4.Act as a public voice for Foxglove's work – engaging with the press, media and public platforms as required to advance our work.

2.Manage and support staff across the organisation, providing clear leadership and creating a positive team culture.
3.Oversee financial management in partnership with relevant staff, ensuring responsible stewardship of Foxglove's resources.
4.Ensure compliance with Foxglove's policies and obligations to donors, partners and statutory bodies.

5.Oversee the preparation of compelling funding proposals, reports, and impact updates, ensuring funders have a clear and accurate picture of Foxglove's work and results.
6.Set and track annual fundraising targets in collaboration with the co-Executive Director and finance team, ensuring income projections align with organisational budgets and plans.

Chiltern Music Therapy is seeking an Interim Chief Executive Officer for a 12-month appointment to lead an ambitious programme of organisational transformation and sustainable growth. Working closely with our Board and team, you will strengthen our financial sustainability, develop new opportunities for growth and leave the organisation well positioned for its next permanent Chief Executive.
Hello, we’re Chiltern.
We are a social enterprise providing music therapy, community music services and training across England. Each year, we support more than 2,000 children, young people and adults across health, education, social care and community settings.
For many years, we have been exploring and developing a more self-managing and distributed approach to organisational life — one rooted in trust, autonomy, shared responsibility and reflective practice. This has helped us build a highly engaged and thoughtful team, alongside services that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
We are entering an exciting period of change, with a clear ambition to strengthen our commercial sustainability, increase our reach, grow our income and ensure our operating model is fit for the future. This interim appointment is a key part of that journey, bringing focused leadership to help us deliver meaningful organisational change while remaining true to our collaborative culture and values.
About the role
This is a delivery-focused interim leadership role with a clear mandate to accelerate organisational transformation and sustainable growth over the next 12 months.
The role combines strategic leadership of the organisation with hands-on responsibility for strengthening financial sustainability, business development, organisational alignment and ensuring the organisation is well positioned for long-term success.
We are looking for a CEO who is excited by creating opportunities. Someone who enjoys building relationships, spotting potential and turning ideas into sustainable partnerships that increase both our impact and our income. A central part of this role is generating new business for Chiltern by developing strategic partnerships, securing larger-scale opportunities and helping us grow in ways that remain true to our values and culture.
The role requires someone who can comfortably hold both the bigger picture and the operational reality — someone who enjoys being connected to the organisation, understanding how things are working in practice and helping create the conditions for people and services to thrive.
We are looking for a leader who is relational, commercially aware and emotionally intelligent; someone who can navigate complexity with clarity and steadiness, and who is comfortable working within a collaborative and distributed leadership culture rather than a traditional hierarchy.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for someone who can operate effectively in a self-organising, values-led, evolving system.
We are interested in hearing from people with senior leadership experience within complex, people-focused organisations.
You may come from health, education, social care, the charity sector, social enterprise, or another relevant service environment. What matters most is your ability to step into organisations during periods of change and quickly build trust, momentum, and clarity.
The successful candidate will leave a lasting legacy by strengthening the organisation's sustainability, capability, and readiness for its next phase of development.
You'll work within a collaborative and, values-led organisation, but you'll also be expected to provide clear direction, make confident decisions, prioritise effectively, and deliver measurable progress over a 12-month period.
You will likely bring:
-
Experience leading organisational transformation or significant change
-
A track record of driving sustainable growth and income generation
-
Strong commercial and financial leadership
-
Ability to quickly build credibility with Boards, staff and external partners
-
Experience delivering measurable organisational improvement
-
Excellent relationship-building and influencing skills
-
Confidence making decisions in complex environments
Experience of self-managing, employee-owned or distributed leadership environments would be welcomed, although this is not essential.
We’ve outlined the essential and desirable experience, knowledge and attributes for this role in the full candidate pack.
We know that strong candidates do not always meet every requirement. If this role resonates with you, we would encourage you to consider applying.
Recruitment process
We aim to make our recruitment process thoughtful, proportionate and human. You will be asked to complete an application form, answering some questions to demonstrate your skills and how you meet the requirements of the role.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an interview/ strategic leadership conversation with Board members and will be asked to deliver a presentation.
The application deadline is Sunday 26th July at midnight, with interviews/strategic leadership conversations taking place at Irwin Mitchell, London, EC4Y 0AY on Wednesday 12th August.
A full candidate pack is available here, including further information about the role and our organisational approach.

Job Description
Reports to: CEO and Board of Trustees
Line management: none
Checks: Enhanced DBS and two references
Purpose
The Project Manager & Systems Implementation Lead will lead a programme of organisational and systemic change across DATUS, supporting the organisation to move from largely paper-based, informal and inconsistent working practices towards a more structured, reliable and digitally enabled system of operations.
The postholder will work with the CEO, senior managers and the Organisation and Governance Consultant to implement agreed organisational systems, processes and priorities across DATUS. This will include supporting the practical development and day-to-day use of systems such as SharePoint, client records, finance processes, reporting tools, action trackers, governance documents and operational workflows.
The role is focused on turning agreed organisational systems into everyday practice. The postholder will support managers and staff to use systems consistently, identify barriers to implementation, ensure agreed actions are followed through, and escalate risks where systems are not being used or delivery is drifting.
This is a senior implementation role. The postholder will have delegated authority to monitor implementation, challenge drift, request updates, support problem-solving and escalate risks. They will need to work with managers constructively and confidently, without relying on formal line-management authority.
The role does not set the strategic direction of services, replace the authority of service managers, or redefine DATUS’s peer-led model of delivery. Responsibility for service delivery remains with service managers and programme leads. The purpose of this role is to strengthen organisational reliability so that DATUS can grow, evidence its work, meet funder and governance requirements, and protect the integrity of its peer-led approach.
Key Responsibilities
Systems Implementation
- Coordinate the design, testing, implementation, embedding and ongoing improvement of agreed organisational systems, operational frameworks and processes across DATUS.
- Work with the CEO, Organisation and Governance Consultant, senior managers and relevant staff to ensure new systems are practical, usable and aligned with organisational priorities.
- Support the implementation of key systems, including client records, finance processes, SharePoint, reporting tools, action trackers, governance documents and other operational workflows.
- Ensure new systems and applications are properly documented, maintained and managed once implemented.
- Develop practical guidance, templates, processes and tools to support consistent use across the organisation.
- Identify practical barriers to implementation and work with teams to resolve them.
Embedding & Adoption
- Work with Heads of Service, managers and staff to embed agreed systems into everyday practice.
- Ensure staff are trained, supported and confident in using organisational systems.
- Reinforce consistent ways of working across programmes and teams, while recognising the different practical needs of each service.
- Gather feedback from staff and managers to identify what is working, what is not working, and what needs to be improved.
- Support a culture where systems are used to strengthen delivery, accountability and learning, not simply to create paperwork.
Delivery Assurance
- Maintain oversight of agreed organisational priorities, implementation plans, actions and milestones.
- Track progress against agreed deliverables and ensure actions are completed, followed up or escalated where necessary.
- Hold short, structured check-ins with managers and staff responsible for delivery to confirm priorities, review progress, identify barriers and agree next steps.
- Challenge drift constructively where agreed systems are not being used or actions are not progressing.
- Maintain clear action logs, risk logs and implementation trackers so that commitments are visible and followed through.
Organisational Coordination
- Maintain visibility of operational activity across DATUS and support clear communication between leadership and operational teams.
- Help managers and teams understand how their work connects to wider organisational priorities, funder requirements and governance expectations.
- Support coordination across programmes so that systems, reporting and operational processes are aligned rather than fragmented.
Reporting & Escalation
- Provide regular updates to senior leadership on implementation progress, risks, barriers, adoption issues and system effectiveness.
- Escalate issues where delivery is not on track, where risks are not being managed, or where agreed systems are not being used.
- Support clear evidence of progress for internal governance, funders, commissioners and organisational learning.
Performance & Systems Integration
- Work closely with the Performance & Finance Lead to align finance systems, client data systems, KPI reporting and organisational dashboards.
- Ensure systems support accurate, timely and useful data capture, including outcome tracking, pathway reporting and recovery intelligence.
- Support the development of dashboards, reports and practical management information that helps DATUS understand performance and improve delivery.
Policies, Procedures & Governance
- Support the development, implementation and review of organisational policies, procedures and governance frameworks.
- Translate policies into practical processes that staff can understand and use.
- Monitor compliance with agreed processes, identify gaps and support managers to address them.
- Ensure governance documents, templates and procedures are kept organised, accessible and up to date.
Continuous Improvement
- Identify where systems are not working effectively and support practical improvements.
- Work with leadership, managers and staff to refine systems and processes based on evidence and feedback.
- Promote a culture of continuous improvement, follow-through and shared organisational learning.
