London, United Kingdom Dogs Trust Full time

Are you a fundraising professional with loads of experience in Major Gifts? Are you passionate about animal welfare?
As we approach an exciting period of growth across our Philanthropy income streams, we’re looking for a Deputy Head of Philanthropy (Major Gifts).

About this role
As Deputy Head of Philanthropy (Major Gifts), you’ll:

  • support the Major Gifts team to deliver on ambitious targets, while also maintaining a small personal pipeline of five figure prospects,
  • develop and implement several new strategies, including a senior volunteer strategy and an exciting Champions scheme,
  • develop regional strategies, growing major gifts income to fund impactful new projects across the UK including our exciting capital campaign
  • work closely with stakeholders across the charity to develop new cases for support and bespoke funding opportunities,
  • collaborate with other Deputy Heads across Philanthropy, building a solid peer group who approach challenges as a team.

About you
To be successful in this role, you’ll need experience of leading and developing a Major Gifts function, preferably with experience of scaling up the area and supporting through a period of growth. Ideally, we’re looking for a candidate with experience of regional fundraising, as we look to cultivate local capital campaigns with high-net-worth individuals. Excellent communication skills are essential, with the ability to influence and build relationships with high-net-worth individuals. Some experience of strategy development and implementation is also crucial for this role. Above all, a commitment to the aims and objects of Dogs Trust is essential.

About Dogs Trust
We love dogs. That’s why we do whatever we can to make sure every four-legged friend gets the love they deserve. We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.
