Reporting to: Co-Executive Director Contract type: Permanent, full-time (with probation period) Benefits: 25 days annual leave per annum, plus UK public and bank holidays (pro rata) Office closure for a week in December and August Annual leave allocation increases annually by one day (up to a maximum of five days) 10% employer pension contribution Other standard Foxglove benefits About us Foxglove is a non-profit that exists to make the use of technology fair for all. When Big Tech companies abuse their power, their workers or the planet - and when governments use technology to oppress, exclude or discriminate - we litigate and campaign to fix it. Big Tech companies have become so large - gobbling up a huge slice of the global marketplace and an unprecedented treasure hoard of user data - that they're now more powerful than many states. The harmful effects of this concentration of power are everywhere - threats to our democracy, to our privacy, decimated workers' rights and platforms rife with disinformation and hate. Big Tech and AI data centres are rapidly expanding, resulting in huge strain on energy and water supplies. Worldwide governments are ploughing ahead with the use of algorithms and mass data systems to cut costs and increase efficiency often resulting in digital tools that entrench unfairness and leave the most vulnerable in society in crisis. All these problems are only getting worse with generative AI. Foxglove works to bring the rule of law to the tech and AI giants who have upended our public square, workplaces, and social lives. We have a strong track record. We've launched landmark cases seeking structural changes to big tech's harmful business models , supported 180+ Facebook content moderators fired for trying to form a union to sue Facebook and their outsourcing company, Sama - winning world-first judgements. We're urging competition regulators worldwide to stop Google's theft of independent news . We've filed the UK's first legal challenge to a data centre permission decision over the government's failure to properly assess their environmental impact. We've forced disclosure of secret contracts between tech giants and the NHS, stopped a racist Home Office visa streaming algorithm , helped make grading fair for UK A level students, forced the government to pause the NHS Data Grab and challenged the Department of Work and Pension's use of an algorithm unfairly flagging disabled people for benefit fraud investigations.
