Foundation for Science and Technology
The Foundation for Science and Technology is at the heart of the UK’s science and technology policy landscape. For nearly 50 years, we have provided an independent platform bringing together Parliamentarians, civil servants, industry leaders, researchers and charities to explore the most pressing issues shaping the future of science, innovation and public policy.
From artificial intelligence and quantum technologies, to net zero, research culture and skills, the Foundation convenes informed, cross-sector debate and supports the development of future leaders across the UK science and technology ecosystem.
As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2027, we are seeking an Honorary Treasurer to join our Trustee Board and play a key role in supporting the Foundation’s continued impact and sustainability.
The role
As Honorary Treasurer, you will be a full member of the Trustee Board, sharing collective responsibility for the governance and strategic direction of the Foundation.
This is a non-executive role, focused on governance, oversight and constructive challenge. As a trustee, you will contribute to the stewardship of the Foundation, helping to ensure its financial sustainability, integrity and long-term success.
In addition to your general responsibilities as a trustee, you will:
- Provide oversight and assurance on the Foundation’s financial position, ensuring appropriate controls and compliance with charity law and good practice
- Support the Board in scrutinising financial reporting, including budgets, forecasts and annual accounts
- Offer insight and constructive challenge on financial planning, risk and long-term sustainability
- Contribute to Board-level thinking on income generation, including sponsorship and grants
- Act as a source of financial insight and support to fellow trustees and the Chief Executive
About you
You will bring:
- Senior financial expertise, whether from accountancy, finance leadership or equivalent experience
- Experience of financial oversight and governance
- An understanding of, or interest in, the charity sector
- The ability to work effectively as part of a Board, providing both support and appropriate challenge
- An interest in science, technology, research or innovation policy
Just as importantly, you will bring sound judgement, curiosity and a collaborative approach, with the ability to see both detail and the wider strategic picture.
Time commitment
Approximately three hours per month, plus attendance at three Board meetings per year, typically in London.
Why join us
This is an opportunity to contribute to an organisation that sits at the interface of science, technology and public policy in the UK, helping to ensure that important decisions are informed by evidence, insight and cross-sector collaboration.

Seabex
We optimize agricultural water use through AI-powered irrigation recommendations and verified environmental impact measurement.
Business Development Assistant
Most volunteer roles in sustainability ask you to research, assist, or support. This one asks you to build.
Seabex is an AI-powered agricultural water intelligence platform operating across France, Tunisia, and Spain. Our platform helps farmers optimize irrigation without any hardware installation, using satellite imagery and agronomic AI models. We work with 500+ recurring farmers across 60,000+ hectares, with independently validated water savings of 16 to 40%. We are also building Water Savings Certificates (WSC) — a first-of-its-kind MRV infrastructure that will allow corporations to account for water savings in their supply chain under CSRD/ESRS E3 reporting obligations.
As our Business Development Volunteer, you will identify and qualify corporate leads, map partnership opportunities with agricultural institutions across France and Spain, conduct competitive research, and directly contribute to a commercial pipeline that matters.
You will work closely with the CEO and founding team — not a middle manager, not an intern coordinator. Your work will feed directly into deals with agri-food corporations, irrigation cooperatives, and institutional buyers.
What we are looking for
- A proactive self-starter with an interest in climate, agriculture, or water.
- Background in business, agronomy, sustainability, or engineering.
- French or English fluency (both is a plus).
- Ability to commit 5 to 10 hours per week for a minimum of 3 months.
What you get
- Direct access to the founding team and their investor and partner network.
- Real exposure to a B2B SaaS commercial motion in climate-tech.
- A letter of recommendation and LinkedIn endorsement from the CEO upon successful mission.
Minimum Hours per Week:
7-9 hours per week
Duration:
3-5 months
