We’re recruiting: join our Board of Trustees

This is an exciting moment for Global Dialogue. As we continue to grow in scale, complexity and reach — supporting an increasingly diverse portfolio of funder and civil society initiatives — we are looking to appoint up to three new trustees to help guide that journey.

About Global Dialogue

Global Dialogue enables non-profit action, collaboration and innovation, offering fiscal hosting, grantmaking expertise and advisory services with a commitment to advancing rights, equity and diversity. We host funder networks, donor collaboratives and civil society initiatives, and support bold civic action around the world through our grantmaking.

What we’re looking for

We particularly welcome expertise in one or more of the following areas:

• Charity finance — particularly in relation to a charity with £5m+ turnover, ideally coupled with risk management
• Grantmaking experience — especially cross-border philanthropy, and/or participatory or trust-based approaches and transforming power relations
• Safeguarding — supporting safeguarding in an international context as well as UK for human rights work at board level

Beyond specialist expertise, we’re looking for people with a commitment to our mission, sound independent judgement, and a genuine belief in advancing rights, equity and diversity. It is not necessary to be a UK citizen, and we welcome applications from outside the UK.

Time commitment

The board meets quarterly, primarily online, with one in-person meeting in London each year (remote participation always possible). Reasonable expenses for attending in-person meetings are covered.

How to apply

Please submit a CV and short cover letter responding to the Person Spec and the priority areas, for the attention of Daria Cybulska, Chair of Trustees, to info@global-dialogue.org.

The closing date for applications is Monday 15th June. Applications will be shortlisted in June, with successful candidates invited to interview online on Wednesday 24th or Thursday 25th June. There may be a second round on Wednesday 1st July. If both sides wish to proceed, candidates will be invited to observe an online board meeting on Monday 13th July (2–5pm UTC+1) before a final decision is made by both parties.

If you would like to discuss the role with the Chair or Executive Director before applying, please contact us at the same address.

Thank you for your interest in our work. We look forward to hearing from you.
