Senior Philanthropy Manager

Are you an experienced Major Gifts Fundraiser and Manager, with a track-record of leading teams to achieve ambitious targets and a desire to end homelessness?

We are looking for a motivated and experienced major gifts fundraiser to join our team as our Senior Philanthropy Manager.

This is a fantastic time to join St Mungo’s as we look to increase awareness of our work and change the homelessness landscape throughout England. In this crucial role, you will lead a team of four to grow income from individuals supporting St Mungo’s work at a transformational level and will help us meet an income target of £2.3 million in 2024-25.

In this role you will:

• Lead a team of four skilled philanthropy fundraisers (with direct management of two) to achieve an ambitious fundraising target.
• Personally manage a portfolio of donors giving at a transformational level.
• Embed strong stewardship and prospecting approaches to maximise opportunities and support the team to develop their portfolios.
• Collaborate with colleagues within the Fundraising team and across the organisation to identify new funding opportunities, and lead on cross-Philanthropy initiatives.
• Work closely with senior leadership, trustees and St Mungo’s clients to take a strategic approach to major donor fundraising, being the organisational expert.

About you

We are looking for a proactive and driven individual with the ability to think strategically.

You will be an excellent relationship manager with a track record of securing five- and six-figure gifts, who will lead by example in stewarding your own portfolio of donors. You will have the skills and knowledge to provide support and effective line management that will consistently bring out the best in your team.

Overall, you will be dedicated to the overall aims and ambitions of St Mungo’s and working towards our fundraising strategy.

In this role you will be required to work flexibly with 2 days per week from our Central Office in Tower Hill, London. This allows for in person collaboration, team building, line management and other relationship building opportunities.
