Philanthropy Officer

Job description

Do you want to use your fundraising skills to help create a positive future for these amazing, charismatic creatures, and for our shared planet?

WDC has recently agreed new ambitious 10-year goals which, if successful, will deliver significantly greater protection for whales and dolphins, and their ocean home. Philanthropic income has been growing at WDC, but we have only scratched the surface, and need additional resources to build on these foundations. Our fundraising team is continuing to grow to enable us to harness the increased interest in conservation, the environment, and the emerging understanding of the significant role that whales play in mitigating climate change. We are also growing our brand, reputation and outreach, so this is a very exciting time to be joining WDC.

We are looking for an ambitious fundraiser to help us develop the engagement opportunities and resources to enable us to deliver our philanthropic and organisational goals.

In return we can offer you an insight into the amazing world of whales and dolphins, the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, and to harness the passion and enthusiasm of a wide range of individuals who are committed to the protection of our biggest allies in the fight against climate change.
