Role: Country Director
Reports to: The Board of Trustees
Hours: Full-time
Location: UK based with frequent travel to London

Who we are…

We’re The Hunger Project UK. Nice to meet you. We’re a UK registered charity committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. Our vision is a world without hunger.

Our mission is to end hunger and poverty by pioneering sustainable, grassroots, women-centered strategies and advocating for their widespread adoption in countries throughout the world. We are reaching an estimated 12.8M people around the world through 10,000 partner communities and 2,200 project sites.

Our programs are based on an innovative, holistic approach, which empower women and men living in rural communities to become agents of their own development and make sustainable progress in hunger and poverty reduction.
Our team is all around the world…from our programme countries, to our partner countries such as Australia, the Netherlands, Canada and more; with our global Head Office in New York City, US. We are all industrious, passionate, and committed; a mighty force of changemakers living around the world.

Here in the UK, we work in collaboration with our global colleagues, to raise funds for our overseas programmes and amplify the voices of those affected by hunger. We are a small but awesome team in our global scheme of things. We have big ambitions to grow and scale our fundraising efforts significantly over the next three years. So, if you’re up for the challenge.... come and join us.

What we need…

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser keen to step in and lead our efforts to scale our fundraising here in the UK. You will be a hands-on leader, getting stuck into everything from fundraising to operations, while ensuring impeccable financial sustainability.

The ideal candidate would have more than 5 years leadership experience (with a sales, marketing, or fundraising background), ideally in international development, but a background in charity is not essential. You’ll have managed a team and worked collaboratively with a Board in a previous role.

We’re looking for someone who is happy learning from our partner and programme countries and maximising limited resources, to have big impact. We’ve laid strong foundations; we now need you to get us in front of philanthropists, corporates, trusts and more!

Can you enrol people in a vision, get people taking action, mobilise funds and get things moving? If yes, you’re our person!
This role is for you if:

• You have a deep and genuine desire to make the world a better place and are passionate about gender equality and a world without hunger.
• You are truly collaborative and would rather follow existing guidance, than re-invent the wheel and work in silos.
• You have experience working with philanthropists and/or trusts and foundations, as these are two key audiences for us to scale.
• You can keep your eye on the big picture, but aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves and get the minutiae done.
• You’re a safe and steady pair of hands.
• You have impeccable written and spoken communication skills and are great at getting people on board with your vision.
• You’re a people person and brilliant networker, with a contacts book the envy of most!

We are incredibly grateful for the care, the memories, and the love we had shared in those final days while Mum was at Dove House.” - Family member of a patient

We are delighted to be partnering with Dove House Hospice on this exciting project. This is more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of others and help raise vital funds to ensure Dove House Hospice’s services are always available for those who need them.
