  • Lead systems and processes across fundraising, including due diligence processes and donor management.
  • Ensure regulatory and best practice guidelines are understood and adhered to in all fundraising and public-facing work.

About You:

We are seeking an experienced and skilled fundraising professional with a proven track record of success in the charity sector. You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to engage and build relationships with stakeholders and partners, and a good understanding of what motivates different donors to give to charity.

What We Offer:

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates.
