PHILANTHROPY MANAGER CMS already has individuals and trusts giving multi-year funding at significant levels. What it doesn't have, yet, is someone leading that work. That's this role. Location: Hybrid, Oxford (minimum 2 days a week at CMS House) Key benefits: Up to 10% pension and 36 days of annual and bank holiday leave plus other benefits This is a new position, created because CMS believes there's considerably more philanthropic income available to fund its mission, and the building blocks, real relationships, real multi-year gifts, are already in place. You won't be starting from nothing, but you will be building the strategy as you go; developing CMS's first dedicated philanthropy approach alongside the Director of Fundraising and Communications, while simultaneously delivering against a genuinely ambitious income growth plan. You'll lead a team of four, a trusts and key relationships lead, a major donor and trusts officer, a copywriter and a supporter care and events officer, and hold your own caseload of major donor relationships, leading high-value meetings and negotiating five- and six-figure gifts for CMS's work in the UK and overseas. You'll have strategic oversight of the trusts and foundations portfolio, build a stewardship framework worthy of CMS's most significant supporters, and work closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications and finance to make sure the whole organisation is pulling in the same direction behind this. You'll need a proven major gifts track record, real experience generating income from philanthropic relationships, and genuine comfort negotiating with senior figures and high-net-worth donors. You'll also need to be a committed, practising Christian who is fully aligned with CMS's values and aims, comfortable with regular UK travel including evenings and weekends, and up to two weeks of international travel a year to reach trusts and donors based overseas. If you would like an informal conversation, please contact Adam Stacey, CEO of Charisma Charity Recruitment. Applications should be submitted through the Charisma website, including your CV and a supporting statement. Please see the candidate pack for full details.

The CTO will lead a first-class engineering organisation, bringing together research insight and engineering excellence to advance the state of the art, develop new capabilities and deploy them against important real-world challenges. It is a build-and-lead role, not a caretaking role: the successful candidate will have ambition, talent and embrace complexity, and will have the authority to shape what comes next. It offers the chance to move from contributing to a large machine to helping shape the direction of an entire institution: setting its technology strategy and engineering culture, making critical architecture choices, building exceptional teams and platforms, working with researchers to push the boundaries of what is technically possible and applying frontier-level capability to problems of national importance. ROLE PURPOSE The Chief Technology Officer will be one of the Institute's senior strategic leaders, helping to shape its overall direction as well as defining and delivering its technology and engineering strategy.

Define and deliver an ambitious technology and engineering strategy aligned with the Institute's mission and research ambitions. Build, lead and develop a world-class engineering organisation, creating a culture that attracts exceptional technical talent and enables people to do their best work. Forge a genuinely integrated partnership between research and engineering, enabling multidisciplinary teams to advance research, develop ambitious new technical capabilities and translate them into practical impact. Develop the engineering capability required to take promising research from prototype to secure, scalable and sustainable deployment. Lead the development of environments for AI model training, evaluation and deployment, including compute, data pipelines, distributed systems and MLOps. Set clear engineering, architecture and technical assurance standards. Guide investment and build, buy or partner decisions across compute, data, platforms and tooling. Strengthen delivery disciplines while addressing technical debt and unnecessary complexity. Build, lead and develop high-performing engineering and research engineering teams, and create the organisational conditions for them to work effectively alongside world-leading researchers. Embed security, privacy, responsible technology and resilience into technology design and delivery. Develop influential partnerships that expand access to infrastructure, expertise and routes to impact. Advise the Board and Executive Leadership Team on technology opportunities, investment choices, dependencies and risks. ABOUT YOU We are seeking a technology leader who combines technical credibility with the ability to shape institutions, lead people and deliver results through others.
