Head of Individual Major Gifts
Greenpeace UK
Location: London, UK
Salary: This role is positioned with a salary range of £63,756 - £70,236 pa.
Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction.
Our vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action. To make this a reality, we transform politics, industry and society to create a greener and fairer world. Our mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way. Together we show up, we stand up, and we get things done. And we’ll do it again tomorrow.
In the last five decades, Greenpeace has become one of the foremost environmental organisations in the world, winning victories that have put climate and nature protection on the map. Fast forward to the present day, and we have gained huge momentum. Our movement is booming, environmentalism is mainstream and the solutions are more viable than ever. We look to the future from a position of strength. Now is the time to seize it.
We’re at a pivotal point in human history to turn the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss. In order to ensure our campaigning efforts continue to be effective and to keep up the pressure on government and businesses, we fundraise from private individuals and charitable trusts and foundations who help us continue our work. Our high-performing Fundraising Department contributes significantly towards a Global Capital Campaign to raise EUR100M for a new ship, and there is so much more we want and must do. We are therefore looking for two talented high-value fundraising specialists and leaders to lead key areas of our activity and ensure that we continue to sustainably grow our philanthropic income.
As the Head of Individual Major Gifts, you will be responsible for leading, managing and developing a programme that will drive income growth from high-value individuals. This is an opportunity to take on a successful programme to new heights through effectively managing and growing a developed portfolio of donors, as well as lead a small and dedicated team of fundraisers to transform their supporter pipelines. As a leader within the Key Relationships and wider Fundraising team, you will identify and create opportunities for collaboration across our team, and as our UK Lead for the Global Capital Campaign, you will also play a vital role across our international network of offices.
Success in this role will therefore require an experienced major gifts professional with a track record of securing 6-figure level gifts (or more) from individual philanthropists, and a strategic approach and enterprising mindset to achieve progress. A skilled negotiator with gravitas and highly developed interpersonal skills, you will inspire confidence and motivate those around you to rise to the ambition of our mission. It will be important that you have some experience of line managing others, and getting the best out of the people or teams that you’ve led. To be a successful leader in our Key Relationships team will require resilience, adaptability, and solutions-focussed approach.
We are at a crucial point in time for both the planet and our futures. If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in turning the tide on environmental destruction and want to see a fairer, more equitable planet for all through engaging philanthropic support, please consider applying. We’d love to hear from you.

Organisational Background
The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge, to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff. The Fellowship Programme is the continuation of the rescue mission operation started in 1933.
Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for over 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Cara support is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk.
Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’
‘To advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit.’
This is a critical time to join our dedicated and friendly Fellowship Programme team as we expand our capacity to support at-risk academics from the Middle East, Sudan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia and many other countries.

We are also committed to providing learning and development to our employees. During your time with us, we provide support for your professional and career development, including access to digital and in-person training programmes, leadership and management training, mentoring and much more.
Our hybrid working model:
We operate a 50% onsite hybrid working model, with our office-based staff splitting their time between site based and home working. This enables our office-based staff to balance the benefits of home working with onsite collaboration and maintaining a connection to our cause.
Diversity and inclusion:
We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive experience for all staff, volunteers and trustees and those hoping to join us. We operate an anonymised shortlisting process and actively seek to ensure our process is fair and equitable for all.
We understand the value of diverse voices, perspectives, and experiences to help us deliver even more for our dogs and cats, and we welcome applicants from all sections of the community.
As a Disability Confident Committed Employer we will ask about any adjustments you may need at application and/or interview stage, and if you are offered a role with us, we’ll talk to you about any workplace adjustments you may need to help you perform at your best. If you would like to talk more about this, please contact us. Greyscale copies of the recruitment pack are also available on request.
More about us:
At Battersea, we aim to never turn away a dog or cat in need of help. We give each one lots of love, expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them. Join us and help us be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.
Acceptable use of AI:
At Battersea, we value expertise. We recognise each candidate that applies to us will have a range of expertise they can offer us, so we want to hear about this in your own words. We understand the support that generative artificial intelligence (AI) software can offer but it can also lead to numerous applications presenting as generic and impersonal. This makes it difficult to gain understanding of your unique experience.
To best showcase yourself, we encourage you to write your responses without the assistance of AI. If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting. You must also ensure the information presented in your application accurately reflects your experience.
Closing date: 20th February 2026
All applications must be submitted before the closing date advertised. We reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications is received.
Interview Date(s): W/c 23rd February 2026
