TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A WORLD WITHOUT SLAVERY

We are a global fund seeking to end modern slavery. We act as a catalyst, working in the countries and sectors where it is highly prevalent. We invest in and partner with organisations and communities on the frontlines of ending slavery and exploitation. By partnering with survivors and those at risk of slavery as well as visionary investors, governments and anti-slavery organisations, we bring together the knowledge, capital and will, needed to dismantle the systems that allow slavery to exist and thrive. Through our investments and support, we aim to shift power, so that frontline organisations and communities can shape and drive the change required to bring modern slavery to an end.

This is an exciting and challenging role for an outstanding strategic thinker, team builder and program leader to help shape a hugely influential portfolio of work. Since its founding in 2014, the Freedom Fund has supported and funded hundreds of organisations to fight slavery in countries with the greatest slavery prevalence. The Fund has already had a direct impact on nearly 2 million people through a “hotspot” strategy and reached millions more by supporting deep-rooted systems change.

The Managing Director oversees the entire program portfolio, including the hotspots, responsible supply chains, research and evaluation, and program operations. They guide program strategy, and as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, contributes to and furthers the Freedom Fund’s overall strategy and the day-to-day governance of the organisation. The Managing Director also plays a critical role in representing the organisation with governments, philanthropists, peer organisations, and the Freedom Fund Board of Trustees.
