Job Purpose: The Director of Development will help develop and implement corporate and philanthropic fundraising programs, enhancing our ability to manage and expand relationships with major donors.

The team

The Contributed Revenue Team consists of five fundraising professionals, including this role.

The role regularly collaborates across the organization, sometimes including senior leadership and IFRS Foundation Trustees.

· Support the Director with trustee engagements, jurisdictional fundraising, and internal reporting.
· Network and leverage current relationships and expand our donor base.
· Organize and convene funder events and ensure best practice reporting to philanthropic funders.
· Develop strategies for proactive donor engagement to secure annual renewals and funding from philanthropic foundations.
· Explore new opportunities for funding, including government aid agencies.

Qualifications & experience

· Extensive and proven experience in fundraising, ideally with global exposure.
· Proven track record in managing relationships with senior leaders at large companies and securing 7-figure deals with philanthropic foundations.

Skills and attributes

· Expert sales and negotiation skills, demonstrated through past fundraising successes.
· Strong leadership capabilities, with the ability to coach and develop a small, focused team.
· Excellent communication and presentation skills.
· Strategic thinker with the ability to manage multiple projects and relationships concurrently.

The organisation

The IFRS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation established to develop—in the public interest—high-quality, understandable, enforceable and globally accepted standards for general purpose financial reporting and to promote and facilitate their adoption.

The standards—IFRS® Accounting Standards and IFRS® Sustainability Disclosure Standards—are set by the Foundation’s standard-setting bodies, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the more recently formed International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). IFRS Accounting Standards are required in more than 140 jurisdictions.

The two boards are overseen by the IFRS Foundation Trustees, who in turn are accountable to a Monitoring Board of public authorities.

In November 2021, the Trustees announced the creation of the ISSB and the consolidation of the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSB) and the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF) into the Foundation. This process was completed on 1 August 2022 and the addition of the new board has taken the Foundation from a ‘one board/two locations’ organisation to a ‘two boards/several locations’ organisation (with offices across multiple time zones, including San Francisco, Montreal, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo) with a significant increase in overall headcount. The ISSB has issued its first two inaugural standards in June 2023 and jurisdictions are now considering theme for adoption.
