Job Details

About us

Global Witness wants to end environmental and human rights abuses driven by political and corporate elites. 

The planet and its residents face a crisis: the climate is being destroyed, and civic freedoms are deteriorating.  Rampant abuse of power is pushing the world to breaking point as Governments, and big corporations all too often go unchecked in their exploitation of our planet and its people.

For us to succeed, we need to embody the principles we fight for. Global Witness strives for cohesion, solidarity, and inclusion as only together can we protect one another and the planet to build a better and more just future. 

About the role

As a Grants Officer you’ll collaborate closely with a proactive Grants Team to provide excellent stewardship of our funders. You'll manage your own portfolio and cultivate donors to ensure their continued and increased support. 

You’ll also work openly and co-operatively with other Development Team members, in particular the New Business team, sharing knowledge and insights, developing processes and collaborating on the development of new funder relationships in particular. 

About you

You’ll bring your experience of supporting or managing trust, foundation and statutory donors, along side your excellent communication skills to ensure a smooth donor experience.  

Your ability to work collaboratively will be a key asset to this role and you’ll understand and align with our team values.

Finally, you’ll have an analytical approach with a keen eye for detail.

Working for us

We offer an excellent benefits package including a competitive salary, 25 days annual leave (exc. Bank Holidays), private medical insurance, pension and a broad range of family friendly and policies to support your work life balance.

This role is based in London and therefore to be considered for this role you must be able to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK. We are currently trialling a new hybrid working model for 2022 that requires staff to be in the office at least 20% of their time, but this may change in the future.

Global Witness has a talented team of people worldwide with offices in London, Washington DC, and Brussels. We aim to be a diverse and inclusive place to work. We value new perspectives, original ideas and different ways of working. We believe that diverse views and experiences improve the way we do our work. We do our best to make our jobs accessible to all regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation or identity.

What to do next

Please send in your CV (max 2 sides) and a one-page cover letter outlining how you meet the requirements of the role to: [email protected]  with Grants Officer in the subject heading by 9am BST 7 September 2022.

If you have a disability and would prefer to apply in a different format or would like us to make any reasonable adjustments to enable you to apply or attend any interview, please let us know.

Company

We want justice for those disproportionately affected by the climate crisis: people in the global south, indigenous communities and communities of colour, women and younger generations. We want corporations to respect the planet and human rights, governments to protect and listen to their citizens, and the online world to be free from misinformation and hate.
