Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom hireful Full time

Are you a skilled fundraiser with a passion for building strong, lasting relationships with individual supporters? This pivotal role requires leading the growth and development of individual giving programmes, inspiring donors to support our mission of helping the chemical science community make the world a better place.

About the Role

As Philanthropy Lead, you will cultivate and manage relationships with individual donors for both the UK and international markets. Leveraging your deep understanding of our mission and the broader scientific landscape, you will maximize income and support for our charitable activities.

Main Responsibilities:
  • Achieve Income Targets: Take ownership of fundraising targets, working closely with colleagues across the organization to develop compelling proposals and secure material, financial, and strategic support for key projects in priority regions.
  • Manage Legacies and Bequests: Oversee the management of legacies and bequests, ensuring their effective use to support our charitable objectives.

We offer hybrid working, which means our teams come together when they need to collaborate. Although this role is contractually based at our Cambridge office, you will have the opportunity to work mostly from a UK location other than this. There is an expectation that employees will attend our Cambridge or London office on a weekly basis (at least once a week).

Salary: £60,000 - £80,000 per annum.

This is a permanent, full-time position located in London or Cambridge, offering a great work-life balance and opportunities for professional growth.
