Did you know that the odds are against women with ovarian cancer surviving more than 5 and 10 years. In fact, only 3 in 10 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer live beyond 10 years. OCA is the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity when it comes to working to improve ovarian cancer survival rates through knowledge, breakthroughs and fairness so by 2032 at least half of women with ovarian cancer live for 10 years.

To help them achieve this the charity is looking for an experienced Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead on the planning and delivery of OCA’s trusts and foundations activities , with a focus on excellent stewardship and fund management to strengthen retention and sustainability in this key income area. You will also lead the account management and stewardship of funders, ensuring effective ways of working with key internal stakeholders and a pro-active, opportunity spotting, personalised approach to funders.

Experience we’re looking for:

  • A proven track record of successfully working in a bid writing, trust funding or similar role for at least the last five years.
  • A proven record of securing annual income budgets of £200,000+ and demonstrate year on year growth impact.
  • Sound knowledge of trusts and foundations approaches and methods, and how to use these to maximum effect.
  • Excellent research skills and demonstrable experience of using critical analysis to improve funding / relationship outcomes.
  • Ability to write effective proposal documents which are concise and compelling and convey the correct message for the charity and the funder.
  • Strong account management experience and be able to demonstrate tactics and impact.
  • Experience of forward planning and experience of working with income and expenditure budgets.
  • Experience of liaising with and managing internal stakeholders to funder needs and goals.

At Ovarian Cancer Action, everyone has different backgrounds, ways of working and areas of expertise. But what everyone shares is passion, ambition, and commitment. This means that your attitude to your work and fellow team members is just as important as your skills and abilities.

2nd stage interviews (In-Person): Thursday 23rd May

This represents a fantastic opportunity for a highly motivated individual to make a tangible impact, contributing to OCA's continued growth and success. To find out more or to make an application, please get in touch with Jaini at Merrifield Consultants: jaini.shah@merrifieldconsultants.co.uk
