We’re looking for a new Chief Executive to lead the EachOther team!
We’re looking for a talented charity leader with a passion for human rights and digital communications.
The Organisation
EachOther, formerly RightsInfo, is an award-winning digital human rights charity that builds knowledge and support for human rights in the UK by producing engaging, accessible and beautifully-presented online human rights content.
In the UK, human rights are often controversial and often misunderstood. Many people see human rights as protecting villains and the “other” rather than themselves, leading to calls for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. Brexit will create multiple challenges for those who value the protection of human rights in the UK.
EachOther is fighting back against media misrepresentation of human rights. We want people to understand why human rights matter to them and people like them. We tell the positive stories of human rights with news stories, features, infographics, videos, documentaries – anything which gets people inspired and engaged over human rights. Our work now reaches tens of thousands of people every week. In just a few years, EachOther has gone from a start-up project to a leading charity with full-time staff, a talented team of volunteers, significant multi-year grants, an experienced board of trustees and an exciting future.
The Role
This is an exciting time for the charity as EachOther launched its new brand identity and name in December 2019, and are now looking for a new CEO to help this dynamic, young organisation evolve and grow, leading the organisation including working closely with our Creative Director and dynamic staff team.

You will be a natural leader who has robust experience delivering against strategies, cultivating a portfolio of new major donors and achieving funding targets, managing grants, measuring impact, working positively with trustees, setting policies and processes, engaging thoughtfully with complex or controversial issues, representing your organisation publicly and inspiring teams.
