With its new 2027-2029 strategy about to launch, the Foundation has ambitious plans for the future, including deeper operational involvement in some of its flagship partnerships and supporting well-evidenced, high intensity interventions that ensure fair access to tech-enabled opportunities at a time of AI transition. In line with this new strategy, the Foundation are working with a co-funder on designing a multi-million pound Fund, set to launch in autumn 2026, that would fund 4-5 UK-based programmes helping low-income non-graduates secure tech jobs. As well as supporting programmes, the Fund will generate research evidence on the tech hiring landscape and implications for social mobility, as well as evidence on which programmes are most effective at securing jobs. To support these plans, the Foundation is expanding its team to include a new Programme Officer and seeking someone eager to begin or advance their career in the non-profit sector. This newly created role at The Hg Foundation will provide essential support to our Portfolio Leads for Employability and offers an excellent opportunity for professional development in the foundation space.  The role is funded for three years initially.
