Fundraising Officer - Trusts and Foundations

The UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre is a world leader in biodiversity knowledge. We work with scientists and policy makers globally to place biodiversity at the heart of environment and development decision-making, to promote enlightened choices for people and the planet. With so much emphasis and importance currently being placed on mitigating against biodiversity loss, and caring for our planet, there really is no better time to join an expert, innovative and forward-thinking conservation organisation. 

We are looking for a talented and passionate fundraiser who will maximise WCMC’s current trust and foundation relationships and secure new relationships to enable us to meet our five-year fundraising strategy. This role will compliment your creativity and passion for writing, with your keen eye for detail and excellent organisational skills. 

You will bring your proven experience in successfully raising significant grants from trusts, foundations and institutional donors to the role. As an experienced fundraiser, you will manage our current portfolio of donors ensuring funding proposals and reports are both compelling in content and timely. You will demonstrate your ingenuity and research skills in developing new prospects, that result into new donor relationships for UNEP-WCMC.
