The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a thriving trusts, foundations and statutory portfolio – and help shape its growing future. You’ll join a small, dedicated team at a pivotal moment, as we build our 2026–2028 income strategy.
Reprieve has longstanding, committed donors, a newly established prospecting programme and a healthy unrestricted-to-restricted income mix – meaning genuine scope to package existing programmes into new applications and grow income meaningfully. Working closely with the Head of Development, you’ll help steward key donor relationships, secure new grants, and lead reporting and donor communications.
You’ll work alongside brilliant human rights lawyers, investigators and campaigners on some of the most urgent human rights cases in the world – translating complex casework into compelling propositions for donors. Expect strategic work, variety, and the chance to build a pipeline that genuinely matters.
We’re looking for a thoughtful relationship-builder and a strong writer who can turn technical material into engaging donor narratives, work closely with casework, finance and senior leadership, and bring creativity and curiosity to a fast-moving environment. Whether you’re an experienced grants fundraiser, or earlier in your career with real promise and drive – we’d love to hear from you.
In return, you’ll join a warm, collaborative development team that will invest in your growth – with genuine scope to develop skills, project manage, and work on a range of donor relationships – doing work that has tangible impact on people’s lives.
About Reprieve
Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation working to end the death penalty and abuses committed under the banner of national security. Founded in 1999, our mission remains critically relevant as governments worldwide increasingly adopt authoritarian tactics, expanding executive power at the expense of civil liberties.
You can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.
Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. We provide vital legal and investigative support to those facing execution and victims of rendition, torture, arbitrary detention, extrajudicial killing, and citizenship stripping. Our work spans multiple jurisdictions, challenging states' most egregious human rights violations through strategic litigation, investigations, and advocacy.
We support cases in courts worldwide while building the legal and political momentum necessary to consign these practices to history.
Based in London with Fellows and partners globally, Reprieve operates at the intersection of law, policy, and human rights, working alongside governments, senior legal practitioners, and civil society to advance systemic change.
We collaborate closely with our independent partner organisation, Reprieve US.
Terms
The role is a full-time (five days per week) on an 18-month fixed-term. The annual salary is £42,193 per annum less any required deductions for income tax and national insurance.
This role is based in Reprieve’s London office. Reprieve operates a hybrid working model and we require staff to work 40% of their working hours from the London office and the rest of the week from home. Applicants must have the current right to work in the UK for the duration of the contract, which will be checked prior to interview.
