SENIOR PHILANTHROPY MANAGER (OPEN TO FLEXIBLE WORKING)

About us

When someone is murdered defending their home because big business wants their land this is corruption.  When people struggle for shelter while empty mansions are used to launder money – this is corruption.  When a child breathes polluted air because coal companies and politicians put profits before people – this is corruption.

Our mission is to campaign to end this and we do this by carrying out hard-hitting investigations, exposing the facts, and pushing to change the system.  We are independent, not for profit, and we work with partners around the world in our fight for justice.

About the role

This is a vital role supporting the growth of our major gifts programme.  You’ll identify and develop new major prospect relationships through robust research and networks. You’ll produce tailored communications as well as organising meetings and exciting events. 

You’ll also look after our major existing donors, keeping them informed about our work and its impact and inviting them to relevant events.  To meet our ambitious fundraising targets you’ll understand and communicate our campaigns clearly, developing bespoke cases for support.

About you

We’re looking for experience in developing and managing senior level relationships, along with a creative and entrepreneurial approach to spotting new fundraising opportunities.  Highly organised with exceptional project management and administrative skills, you enjoy working collaboratively in a fast paced, target driven and deadline oriented environments.
