About Tech Against Terrorism

Tech Against Terrorism enables the global technology sector to effectively tackle terrorist use of the internet whilst respecting human rights.

We focus on smaller tech platforms who might not have capacity or capability to respond to this threat without support.

We work closely with the United Nations, large tech firms, dozens of smaller tech platforms, democratic governments, and civil society.

Currently, we are working on expanding our work with a number of commercial and publicly funded projects.

You will be responsible for the sound management of TAT's fundraising and contract pipeline, including identifying fundraising opportunities, drafting proposals and leading all discussion for contract negotiation.

As a senior member of the TAT team, this role will see you represent the organisation at conferences alongside senior stakeholders so a broad understanding of our work will be required.

Outstanding verbal and written communication skills and the ability to network and influence with ease
