CFG Ambassadors are the face of our organisation and promote our programmes, opportunities and events online and in-person!

BOOST YOUR PROFILE, LEARNING OPPS, PLUS CFG SWAG

As part of the role, you will have the opportunity to boost your own profile, have learning and development opportunities, help build the CFG community and essentially, get more women and non-binary individuals interested in tech! Did we mention there is a swag pack too?!

YOU’RE HERE TO DRIVE CHANGE & HAVE A SOCIAL IMPACT

You do not need in-depth technical knowledge to be a CFG Ambassador, but an interest in technology is a benefit. If you enjoy communicating with community members and client representatives, and want to spread the CFG word, we would love to hear from you!

COMMUNICATION & NETWORKING IS KEY

To excel in this role, you will have excellent communication and networking skills, previous experience as an ambassador or a similar role is desired but not required.

2024 Ambassadors

Get inspired by their journeys and see how they made their mark! ✨

AMBASSADOR ROLE

FAQS

Yes, the full job description and details of the role will be published when applications re-open.

There are paid parts of the CFG Ambassador role with the external events and speaking appearances. For these activities, we pay £30 per hour. The initial engagement will be a freelance contract for the role of CFG Ambassador and the number of paid opportunities is estimated at around 2-3 per Ambassador (depending on interest to take part).

We would expect you to commit to the Ambassador programme for 12 months, over this period, and excluding the paid opportunities, we anticipate that this would be a commitment of around ~50 hours for all roundtables, events, L&D training and activities outlined above (with complete flexibility around in-person attendance, prior commitments, work and so forth).

If your initial application is successful we will invite you to complete a video interview (self recorded). Those who are successful are then selected to join an interview with the CFG team. The programme commences in January 2025.

For more information and tips, please view this help page.

Please view our best interview tips through this help page. The page also contains advice from our 2024 Ambassadors!
