About the role
– if you love crafting compelling cases for support and building long-lasting funder relationships…
Then you’ll take lead responsibility for the trusts and foundations portfolio, securing five- and six-figure grants by shaping fundable ideas, building strong relationships and providing sector-leading stewardship.
You’ll manage your own pipeline and support other members of the team to do the same, write compelling proposals and reports, and work closely with senior colleagues across the charity. This is a fantastic opportunity if you thrive on autonomy and relish the art of your craft – both strategy and rolling up your sleeves.
We’re looking for someone who can:
1. Take lead responsibility for the trusts pipeline, managing high-value prospects
2. Craft clear, persuasive, and tailored funding applications
3. Secure repeat and multi-year grants that strengthen strategic partnerships
4. Monitor performance, track progress and report against targets
5. Maintain consistent, high-quality and creative stewardship
6. Support and help shape a positive, collaborative team culture
About you – we’d love to hear from you if you bring:
7. A strong track record of winning five‑ or six‑figure grants
8. Experience managing a funding pipeline and producing high‑quality proposals
9. Excellent written communication, storytelling and analytical skills
10. Ability to build warm, professional relationships with funders and colleagues
11. Strategic thinking, strong organisational skills and sound judgement
12. A proactive, curious, collaborative mindset and a passion for reading
Don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can make a meaningful contribution, we would always encourage you to apply.
