Position: Fundraising Manager
Location: Home-based/Scotland with 5 days per month in the Edinburgh office

The Role

As Fundraising Manager, you’ll play a central role in helping deliver sustainable growth by identifying and securing new income across trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, statutory and government funding, and public sector contracts.

Working closely with programme leads and the senior leadership team, you’ll research, prioritise, and secure funding opportunities to support the charity’s ambitious growth plans over the next 2–3 years. You’ll also develop strong relationships with funders, write compelling funding applications, and provide excellent stewardship and reporting.

You’ll focus on growing income from institutional and corporate sources, while senior leaders continue to manage high-value individual donor relationships, allowing you to concentrate on developing strong pipelines and managing effective bids.

Ideally, you will also bring:



* Experience of strategic, high-value fundraising in a small or growing charity
* An understanding of issues affecting young people and youth-focused sectors
* Experience using design tools (e.g.Canva) to create professional proposals and reports
* Knowledge of international funding sources such as the US and Europe



Why Join Us?

This charity dedicated to helping young people in Scotland build confidence, resilience, and ambition by working with the adults and systems that shape their lives.

We’re currently delivering programmes that embed growth mindset, explore the potential of AI in learning, and drive cultural change through community engagement.

With a stable financial base and committed supporters, we’re ready to scale our work and you’ll be at the heart of making that happen. You’ll join a supportive, values-driven team with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on young people’s lives across Scotland.

Benefits include:



* 35 days paid annual leave including the eight statutory bank holidays
