Our Executive Team is leading that next chapter, shaping international policy and driving innovation with the tech sector, and they need someone exceptional to help keep it all running smoothly.

As our Executive Team & Project Coordination Officer, you'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with our Head of Legal & Governance. You'll be the organisational backbone of our senior leadership team, managing complex diaries, coordinating Board and committee business and supporting the strategic projects that drive our mission forward.

Managing the CEO's diary, meetings and correspondence
Organising and servicing Board, committee and strategy meetings, including preparing papers and taking accurate minutes
Tracking actions to completion and helping monitor progress against strategic objectives

Drafting correspondence and communications on behalf of senior leaders
Coordinating travel, events and logistics, and supporting high-profile organisational events and projects

Who we're looking for

You'll be an experienced Executive Assistant, Project Coordinator or senior administrator who's comfortable working at Executive and Board level. You'll bring excellent minute-taking and governance administration skills, outstanding organisation and the judgement and discretion to handle sensitive information with care. You'll be proactive, calm under pressure and confident building relationships with senior stakeholders and trustees. You'll also be proficient in Microsoft 365 and experienced in using approved AI tools effectively in your work.

Caring for our staff

IWF may operate in a highly advanced technological world, but it’s the expertise and experience of our analysts that sets us apart. We give all our staff the flexibility and reassurance they need to manage their home and work life.

All new analysts go through a specially developed induction training programme to help them mentally process and cope with exposure to disturbing images.
Our analysts’ working hours are restricted; they take regular timetabled breaks and are encouraged to take more breaks as and when they need.
All our staff work shorter days to ensure their personal lives don’t suffer, and we don’t allow analysts to work overtime.
Each month our analysts have individual mandatory counselling sessions and all employees who see criminal imagery have an annual full psychological assessment.
Everyone who works for us is offered counselling support.

We work in partnership with internet service providers, telecommunication companies, mobile operators, software providers, the police, Government, the public, other NGOs and charities to minimise the availability of child sexual abuse images and videos online. Our tech-for-good solutions make the internet safer for everyone to use and help children move on from their traumatic experiences.
