Cambridge, United Kingdom Rand Europe Full time

RAND Europe is a not-for-profit policy research organisation. Our mission is to help improve policy
- and decision-making through evidence-based research and analysis. We realise our mission by undertaking objective, balanced and relevant research, sharing the insights and information widely, and working in partnership with a range of clients and collaborators.

RAND Europe has offices in Cambridge and Brussels, and employs approximately 170 staff: just over half of our research staff have doctorates with the balance holding other post-graduate degrees. Our work lies on the continuum between that of universities and consultancies, combining the academic rigour of universities and the professional, task orientated approach of consultancies. In addition to our strong ethos of evidence-based research, RAND Europe is a values-driven organisation, and our experience shows that our most successful researchers closely align their behaviours with our value set.

We are now looking to recruit a Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships. As the Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships you will support the Communications and Partnerships Director with the development and implementation of our strategy across Philanthropists, Corporates, Trusts and Foundations. You will focus on building a strong pipeline of potential support through prospecting tactics, as well as working with the wider research teams to creatively match donor interests to funding needs.

**Key responsibilities**:

- Support the Communications and Partnerships Director to develop, execute and monitor RAND Europe’s fundraising strategy.
- Reporting to the Communications and Partnerships Director and working closely with the President and RAND Europe’s Executive Board, you will gain significant warm introductions for philanthropic support.
- Identify, initiate, and foster positive, strategic relationships with philanthropists, corporates, partners and other potential funders to ultimately drive forward the ambitions of RAND Europe to support our mission.
- Cultivate collaborations with corporations who share our values and are dedicated to helping improve policy and decision making.
- Be responsible for the growth and development of RAND Europe’s fundraising income from corporate partnerships, whilst also overseeing our fundraising from philanthropists and trusts.
- Conducting face to face fundraising meetings (c80 per annum) to secure major gifts (£25k+).
- Supporting the organisation’s overall philanthropy and partnerships strategy, including the development of cases of support for its fundraising campaigns
- Managing and supporting fundraising campaigns, preparing compelling and complex proposals for donor funding. Support the Communications and Partnerships Director in the development of fundraising campaigns and in securing transformational gifts.
- Stewarding and engaging partners, with programmes and events, through updates, visits, and meetings.
- Supporting the development of the corporate partnership’s strategy, working closely with the Communications and Partnerships Director, in line with the overall fundraising strategy
- Continue to build and develop a corporate partnership programme to successfully engage companies to support RAND Europe’s work through various engagement and research activities, including creating fundraising materials and resources.
- Working across the organisation to support and create engagement opportunities for corporate partners and prospects.
- Ensuring donors are acknowledged and thanked in a timely and appropriate way.
- Developing and managing income and expenditure budget, and responsible for forecasting and regular reporting.
- Ensuring accurate and appropriate screening and validation of philanthropists, corporates, partners and other potential funders.
- Representing RAND Europe at external events and networking opportunities, developing existing and new donor relationships.
- Motivating RAND Europe colleagues at all levels to be active partners in developing cases, cultivating prospects, and inspiring contributions.
- Developing and managing effective fundraising policies, fundraising records and best practices.
- Carrying out other duties as deemed appropriate by the Communications and Partnerships Director.
