Foundation Revenue & Administration Manager
Reporting Line: Exec Chair – Apex Foundation & Wealth.
Location: London
The Opportunity and Strategic Impact
We are looking for an experienced, relationship-driven person with high energy to shape something new and meaningful. This is not a standard corporate job; it is a blank canvas to help build a world‑class philanthropic platform from the ground up. As the Foundation Revenue & Administration Manager, you will play a central role in supporting the growth of the Apex Foundation – leading on revenue generation, donor relationships, and the operational backbone that makes the Foundation’s work possible.
The Apex Foundation is a charity that has been set up to support charitable initiatives and projects that make a real difference. As Apex continues to grow globally, we are investing meaningfully in the Foundation, building it into a long‑term, sustainable cause for social impact in three key areas:
* The preservation, conservation and protection of the environment;
* Women’s empowerment and economic independence;
* Education and social mobility.
This role is central to the next chapter. By helping grow the Foundation income, strengthen donor relationships, and build a solid operational foundation, you will play a key part in turning that ambition into reality, and shaping how Apex contributes to the communities it works in.
This is a rare opportunity to help build a Foundation from the ground up, with the resources and reach of a large global business behind you. If you want your work to combine commercial fundraising skills with genuine social impact, we would love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
In this varied and fast‑paced role, you will lead and coordinate a mix of fundraising, events, and administrative work that helps the Foundation grow its revenue and impact. Your responsibilities will include:
* Drive Revenue: Lead and support initiatives to increase Foundation revenue, including building predictable, recurring income streams. Work closely with the Executive Chair to convert high‑level donor relationships into meaningful and measurable financial outcomes.
* Deliver the flagship London Gala: Support the Chair in planning, delivering and growing our annual gala dinner – a high‑profile “asset servicing” event central to the Foundation’s fundraising calendar.
* Build the Relationship Engine: Map and consolidate information on past contributors, table buyers, and warm leads into a clear, well‑organised donor management system that the team can rely on.
* Champion the Foundation: Act as a visible advocate for the Foundation’s mission – internally to build engagement and alignment with leadership’s vision; and externally, to raise the Foundation’s profile.
* Capture Every Opportunity: Build and maintain the administrative backbone of the Foundation, so that donor relationships, sponsorships, and fundraising opportunities are well‑managed and followed up properly.
Experience & Skills
We believe the right person for this role will be driven by purpose, skilled at building lasting relationships and able to thrive in a fast‑paced environment while delivering real impact through our Foundation. For this role, we are looking for a person who brings:
* Corporate Fundraising: A background in corporate fundraising or similar, donor acquisition, business development, or partnership management.
* Events Execution: Experience supporting high‑profile, large‑scale corporate events.
* Organised and Tech Savvy: Either experienced working with CRMs, or confident building out database processes to keep donor and portfolios well managed.
* Strong Relationship Building: A confident, clear communicator able to work directly with external corporate donors, VIPs, and senior internal executives.
What you will get in return
* A genuinely unique opportunity to do mission‑driven work alongside a small foundation team within a large expanding global business.
* Competitive remuneration commensurate with skills and experience.
* Training and development opportunities.
