We are looking for a Proposition Development Manager to empower our Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’ and BHF’s priorities.
Philanthropic and Corporate Partnership activity is growing rapidly at the BHF. Our teams are securing six- and seven-figure donations from individuals, trusts and foundations, winning high-profile corporate partnerships, opening up income in new markets, domestically and internationally, and offering first-rate engagement opportunities for supporters.
We've achieved this amidst the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring the BHF can continue to fund lifesaving research and work with patients and the public to improve and saves lives from heart and circulatory diseases.
About the role
Working in our Proposition Development Team, a function supporting both Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships teams, you'll empower fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’ and the BHF’s priorities.
As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role. Working collaboratively across the BHF, you'll provide bespoke support to build narratives and write proposals, funding applications, updates and ‘impact reports’ as well as advise on funding priorities and develop and evolve compelling high-value fundraising ‘cases for support'.
Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation. The fundraiser does not face the prospect, donor, or corporate alone; they are supported and prepared for the challenge by those who have identified the opportunity right through to others who have shaped their case for support or proposal.
As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.
About you
You'll have knowledge and understanding of all high-value fundraising audiences and the landscape.

You'll be able to identify and package up project funding opportunities, existing and future-facing, for high-value audiences. In addition, you'll have previous experience writing successful funding proposals and application from start to finish, preferably within the medical research space for at least six-figure gifts.
To succeed in the role, you must be:
- An exceptional relationship builder, able to demonstrate emotional intelligence and empathy when working with others
- An exceptional writer with the ability to transform complex project information into compelling stories and content for high-value fundraising audience
- An articulate and confident communicator
- A strong project manager
- A strong influencer and negotiator, especially when gaining buy-in across the organisation
- Adaptable and resilient
About us
The BHF is working towards a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. As a world-leading research funder, we have supported significant advances in the fight against heart and circulatory diseases. But these diseases still cause heartbreak for millions of families. They are the world’s biggest killers; nearly one in three people globally die from them each year and more than one in four in the UK.
Help beat heartbreak forever by joining the BHF as a Proposition Development Manager.
Here at the BHF we understand that you might need a little help balancing your work and home life. Many of our people work flexibly in many different ways. Please feel free to talk to us about the flexibility you may need; we’re happy to explore what’s possible for you and the role.

Stonewall’s learning and development offer is a crucial way that we empower LGBTQ+ people and their allies to play their part in transforming our society into one where all LGBTQ+ people can reach their potential. As a charity, now more than ever, stable and sustainable income generation is critical in allowing us to continue our work fighting for a more equal world for LGBTQ+ people.
If you want to use your income generation experience to create a more equal society we’d like to hear from you.
Job Title: Sales and Marketing Manager
Location: London Office (remote working during current restrictions)
Salary: £36,442
Background:
The Empowerment Team at Stonewall run a range of personal and professional development programmes . We're split across three areas. The development team designs and writes our content. The delivery team put the logistics in place to make our work happen. And you'll be the founding member of the partnerships team, which secures the funding for us to deliver and grow. We all pitch in on cross-team projects and as facilitators for programmes.
Our work:
- Provides LGBT+ people and their allies with the knowledge, networks and confidence to create a more equal society.
- Forms a core part of our successful Diversity Champions programme for employers
- Is a key source of income, enabling us to deliver our policy, research and community engagement work.
We’re looking for someone who can do three things:
- Blend sales and marketing to make the most of existing audiences and attract new clients.
As a membership organisation our clients have relationships with their Client Account Manager. It’ll be your role to create the processes that support the Workplace and Fundraising Teams to market to our existing audiences in their learning and development.
Empowerment also reaches beyond our workplace membership. We use digital marketing to bring in new clients and to support sales for larger events. In this role you will lead on our digital marketing strategy, as we work alongside the comms team to deliver and evaluate marketing that works with Stonewall's other content.
Finally, the demand for our bespoke training work continues to grow. You'll be at the forefront of prospecting and pitching to new high-value clients and supporting them to engage with our products.
- Centre the most marginalised because it's not just about numbers. Our marketing activities must support our strategic goals.
In Empowerment that means our work centres the most marginalised in our community. This includes People of Colour, trans people, bi people and disabled people. It's critical that you're able to use marketing to increase representation among attendees. And that you can confidently engage organisations in investing in identity specific training.
It’s also crucial that you take active steps to ensure our marketing and sales activity is accessible.
- Stabilise and grow our income to support our wider work. Stable and scalable income from learning and development is crucial especially in the current climate. It’s what enables us to protect our hard-won rights, support young people and campaign for change. We’re also well known as a leader in our field for providing high quality work and we want to tell that story.
A key element of this role is about hitting ambitious income targets. It’s also about maximising revenue generation by working collaboratively across the organisation.
We’re looking for someone commercially minded who can help us develop the systems and processes that mean we can capitalise on every opportunity.
The Recruitment Process
At Stonewall we're all about hiring on potential. You'll need a strong understanding of income generation in this role but we're not expecting you to know everything from day one. If we make an offer, we'll work with you to set an achievable development plan that helps you grow in the role.
In your application, we'd like to hear about all the skills you'd bring to this role. It doesn't matter whether those skills were self or professionally taught. Or if you gained them through paid or voluntary experience. We’re also interested to hear about skills gained in other income generation specialisms such as fundraising or communications.
As much as we want to know about skills and experience, we also want to know about how you approach your work. What are the behaviours you'd bring to the role and how do these align with our goals as an organisation?
Above everything, we value a commitment to learning and to sharing our skills. We always appreciate people telling us what they don't know and how they'd plan to learn.
In line with Stonewall’s commitments to race equity and trans inclusion, we are particularly seeking applicants from People of Colour/ BAME people and/or trans people. Stonewall is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all marginalised staff. We have network groups that will provide you with peer support and a safe space as well as comprehensive training for those who do not share your identity.
We’d like to hear more about both what you’ve done and how you’ve done it. To apply for this role please send us a copy of your CV as well as your answers to the four questions outlined in the application form. Where you don’t have direct experience, please do tell us about both transferrable skills and how you would develop your skills in this role.
Applications will close at 11.59pm on 16 April. Interviews will take place over Zoom during the week commencing 26 April.
If you have a disability and would prefer to apply in a different format or would like us to make reasonable adjustments to enable you to apply or attend any interview, please let us know.

It also helps the person responsible to see the real impact of their actions and encourages them to change their behaviour. Restorative Justice is managed by trained facilitators and can be used to address any crime or conflict, as long as both parties consent. It is not used as a substitute for other measures, and can take place while people are serving time in prison.
Why me? deliver Restorative Justice through our accredited service and campaign for greater provision of RJ across the country, especially for groups that do not receive equal access to restorative services at the moment.
About the role
This is a new role which will help Why me? to continue to grow.
As the leading national voice supporting people affected by crime to access Restorative Justice, we want to scale up our work even further over the next three years. We plan to double the size of our core programmes, including delivering Restorative Justice, working with providers to improve their practice, and our influencing work.
