Could you help?

General Counsel; Legal Advice and Guidance

From time to time we may need to liaise with a legal professional. 

If you may wish to support us through pro bono input, we’d love to hear from you.

Events Manager

We run many events; they are a very important part of our activity and outreach.

Can you help with one or more of these aspects of event management?

• Event planning
• Venue sourcing
• Event optimisation
• Event write-up
• Event photography and videoing
• Event live streaming

Note-takers and writers

We would like volunteers to take notes at meetings and write them up.

Media Manager

We have already enjoyed extensive media coverage – we have been on the front page of the Financial Times, on BBC Radio 4’s You and Yours and Moneybox; and even in a special programme entitled “The Transparency Detectives” produced by BBC presenter Lesley Curwen who won an award for the programme. 

We are known by dozens of media professionals, including many outside the UK and as a consequence our comments frequently appear in the trade and national press.

Our media coverage is growing all the time, but how much better could we be of we had a Media Manager?

PR Manager

If PR is your thing and you can volunteer just 1 hour or more per month, please get in touch. 

Digital Marketing and Social Media

Digital Marketing and Social Media are incredibly important aspects of TTF’s operational activity and there are many exciting possibilities for us to harness the awesome power of the full range of online channels to carry TTF’s important message far and wide.

Siva Shankar of FTSE 250 has been doing an amazing job for us recently, on a voluntary basis, to develop and implement an effective LinkedIn strategy. 

We are hoping to enlist more of exactly the same type of support that Siva has been kindly providing.

If you have digital marketing expertise and just 1 hour per month or more, we can definitely find a very useful role for you within the TTF volunteer community.

We are particularly keen to recruit volunteers that have knowledge and experience of:

• LinkedIn
• Twitter
• Facebook
• YouTube TV Channel
• Podcasts
• Blogging
• Digital newsletters
• Digital magazines
• Email marketing

…but we would be delighted to delve into anything digital; so, if there is anything you can do for us in the digital world that isn’t listed above please get in touch. 

Website Design and Optimisation

Our long-term objective is to have a world-class website and we are obviously a long way away from that.

If you can help us with any of the following please get in touch:

• Website design
• Copywriting for Web
• Search Engine Optimisation
• Graphic design

Furthermore, we need volunteers to help us migrate copy from our current website to a new one that s being built – this amounts to relatively straightforward copy/pasting. 

Communications and Copywriting

We have a vast need for support in relation to communications and copywriting. 

If that’s a strength of yours, please let us know. 

Research

We have many volunteer vacancies for people that are happy to surf the net to build databases

• Building a database of academics involved with courses to do with finance, ethics and corporate governance, right around the world

If you have Market Research expertise and might want to help us, please get in touch.

Given that having a fair, efficient and effective financial services sector is profoundly important to the well-being of society as a whole there is an opportunity for commercial organisations to support and work collaboratively with the Transparency Task Force as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility and Environment, Social and Governance programmes.

As a consequence, we require volunteers to be our liaison with the heads of CSR and ESG at commercial organisations, particularly the large, household-name financial firms.

This opportunity will be particularly appealing to individuals with a passion for CSR and ESG who want to actively engage with CSR and ESG professionals in large corporates, with a view to actively improving the way society is served by the Financial Services sector. 

As with all our volunteer vacancies, if you have just one hour or more per month to give please get in touch!

There are many excellent campaign and advocacy groups around the world doing amazing work. It is important that we foster good, collaborative working relationships with all the campaign and advocacy groups that operate in areas in which we have an interest. 

We therefore require several individuals in each country to act as a liaison between us and the relevent organisations. 

Cold you help?

Special Interest Group Leaders

We have 22 Special Interest Groups and each one requires leaders – we wish to have at least 4 leaders in each SIG.

Working as a team, the SIG’s leaders will help to determine:

• The strategic direction of the SIG
• The SIG’s campaign objectives; plus, the strategies and tactics to achieve those objectives
• The theme, content, venue and speakers for the symposia we organise relating to the SIG
• The agenda for our quarterly SIG calls

You can read about our SIGs by clicking here.

Special Interest Group Outreach Managers

It is important that people who may be interested in joining our Special Interest Groups get to know about them. 

As such, we need Special Interest Group Outreach Managers to raise awareness of the SIG amongst its target audience. 

For example, we want to grow our Pensions Special Interest Group and we therefore want people that have a very good understanding of the pensions market to reach out to raise awareness of the Pensions SIG. 

The same applies to all of our SIGs; you can see a list of all of them by clicking here.
