Are you passionate about using your skills and experience to create meaningful change?

We are seeking Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) to bring diverse perspectives, strategic expertise, and a shared commitment to advancing social good through digital innovation. This is an unpaid role designed to provide you with invaluable board-level experience while helping to shape the future of a purpose-driven organization.

About us

At Reason Digital, we’ve spent over a decade using technology to create a positive, scalable impact in the world. As a social enterprise, we believe in harnessing digital innovation to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges.

We’re a £3m turnover B-Corp with a team of 50 talented, passionate individuals, driven by our mission to use digital technology to solve problems that actually matter.

We do this by working in partnership with a number of inspiring organisations including Refuge, Liberty, NSPCC, the LEGO Foundation, The King’s Fund, Dementia UK, Support Dogs, Blind Veterans, and many more.

Our Mission

We aim to expand our reach and amplify our impact. With the right mentorship and expertise, we plan to grow our scope, scale our ventures, and extend the geographic footprint of our digital solutions for social good.

This year alone we’ve worked with our partners to:

• launch the biggest drug and alcohol support charity;
• give peace of mind to parents of children with complex health needs;
• prevent thousands of electrical items going into landfill;
• make workplaces more accessible and inclusive;
• demystify AI for hundreds of charities.

We are now looking for new members to add their unique experience and knowledge to our existing board and the wider organisation. We believe that with the right guidance and know-how, we can continue to expand the scope and reach of the digital projects we work on, making our impact and innovations in society even bigger.

We’re seeking Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) to bring invaluable experience, guidance, and mentorship to help us achieve our long-term goals:

• Driving significant financial growth.
• Scaling Reason Digital ventures and side projects.
• Expanding into new territories—geographically and financially.
• Gain valuable board experience: Whether you’re stepping into a NED role for the first time or adding to your portfolio career, this role offers hands-on experience in strategic decision-making, governance, and leadership within a certified B-Corp.
• Collaborate with like-minded leaders: Join a diverse and passionate board committed to harnessing business as a force for good.
• Make a tangible impact: Use your expertise to help charities and nonprofits amplify their work and achieve transformational social outcomes through cutting-edge digital strategies.
• Enhance your personal and professional growth: Expand your network, develop new skills, and gain experiences that align with your values and aspirations.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for senior leaders with experience in any of the following areas:

• Mission Led Brand/Business and Charity sector knowledge: An understanding of mission-led companies’ and nonprofits’ challenges and opportunities, and the current and potential digital landscape.
• Marketing and storytelling: Knowledge of compelling brand narratives and strategies to help us reach new markets and connect with broader audiences around social impact.
• Driving large-scale business growth: Expertise in scaling and exiting technology ventures, including growing digital agencies and/or SaaS companies, and experience of mergers/acquisitions.
• Innovation: Insight into emerging trends and best practices to support the establishment of a longer-term innovation strategy.
• Mentorship: Providing mentorship to senior leadership teams, fostering professional growth and strategic development.
• An active network: Building strong, high-level networks in the UK and EU, spanning the charity, CSR, digital, government, and funding sectors.
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): A commitment to fostering inclusive practices and environments.
• Governance: Experience with organizational oversight.

Prior board experience is not essential—your professional background, strategic mindset, and commitment to social good are what matter most.

About the role

As a NED, you will:

• Provide strategic guidance to support our growth and mission.
• Contribute to key decisions, including governance, business strategy, strategy, and the spin-off SaaS sale.
• Support the founders and CEO of Reason Digital in achieving their objectives and mission.
• Be an advocate for our values of collaboration, innovation, and positive social impact.
• Have strong networks in the charity and/or tech for good sectors, or in Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG).

As a Reason Digital NED, you’ll play a pivotal role not just in shaping the organisation’s future but also in empowering our senior leadership team. Your mentorship will be key to developing their skills, refining their strategic thinking, and ensuring they’re equipped to lead with confidence as Reason Digital continues to grow. By investing in their development, you’ll directly contribute to the success of our mission while creating a legacy of leadership excellence.

This is a voluntary position, requiring quarterly board meetings (virtual or hybrid), occasional committee involvement, averaging approximately 3–4 hours per month.

Help us make an even bigger impact. Let’s grow together.
