Reporting to the Head of Fundraising Strategy, and as part of a positive, ambitious and forward-thinking Fundraising Leadership Team, you'll lead the development and coordination of campaign and appeal planning, setting clear frameworks and priorities that support effective delivery. You'll oversee multiple, complex workstreams, ensuring strong governance, clear decision making and timely progress. A key part of the role involves translating insight, performance data and diverse inputs into coherent plans, compelling strategies and clear narratives. You'll work closely with senior leaders, cross‑functional teams and governance or volunteer groups, enabling informed contribution and supporting confident decisions. You'll operate at both strategic and operational levels, bringing clarity to complexity and enabling others to deliver successful outcomes in a fast‑moving and evolving environment.
The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of fundraising campaign design and what drives campaign success in practice, alongside proven experience designing and delivering fundraising or organisational campaigns. You'll have strong planning and project management capability (including governance structures and test‑and‑learn approaches), and be comfortable with budgeting, financial planning and forecasting in a charitable context. You'll be analytically strong, able to structure complex information clearly, and highly effective at stakeholder engagement and influencing across organisational boundaries, including enabling senior volunteers or governance groups (e.g., Boards, committees or appeal groups) to contribute effectively to strategic activity. In terms of fundraising, you will have a mix of expertise, ideally elements of digital and philanthropy/high value.
We welcome all candidates to apply, regardless of age, sex/gender, disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, marital status or pregnancy/maternity. If you have any disability and require reasonable adjustment/s to any part of the process then please contact Femke Vorstman at Prospectus.
