Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join Cause4’s Development Team as a Development Manager, supporting a varied portfolio of charities and social purpose organisations with fundraising, strategy and organisational development.

This opportunity provides a fantastic opportunity for someone to work as part of a passionate and hard working team to hone their consultancy skills to fast track into more senior positions within the organisation.

The role offers the chance to work across multiple sectors including arts, heritage, education, health, sport and community organisations, helping clients to develop fundraising strategies, secure funding and build sustainable income streams. Alongside client work, you will play an active role within the wider Cause4 Development Team, contributing to research, organisational planning, training delivery and business development activity.

This position offers broad exposure across a wide range of organisations, fundraising disciplines and consultancy projects, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking to accelerate their career within the charity or consultancy sectors.

THE OPPORTUNITY WHO THIS ROLE MAY SUIT

  • This role could particularly suit: Someone looking to step into their first consultancy or Development Manager role.
  • A fundraiser wanting broader experience across multiple organisations and income streams. Someone currently working in the charity, arts, education or cultural sectors looking to transition into consultancy.
  • An ambitious individual seeking a fast-paced role with clear progression and development opportunities.
  • An existing manager looking to build their consultancy skills to fast track into more senior positions in the sector.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

Fundraising & Client Support

  • Supporting a portfolio of clients with fundraising strategy development and delivery.
  • Writing compelling funding applications, Cases for Support and donor-facing materials.
  • Supporting funding approaches to Trusts & Foundations, statutory funders, corporates and individual donors.
  • Conducting research into prospective funders, partners and opportunities.
  • Supporting the development and delivery of fundraising events and engagement activities. Building positive relationships with clients, funders and wider stakeholders.
  • Supporting the delivery of fundraising training and wider Cause4 programmes.

Research & Consultancy

  • Producing high-quality research, reports and briefing papers.
  • Supporting the development of programme ideas, evaluation frameworks and measurable outcomes.
  • Contributing strategic thinking to fundraising campaigns and organisational development projects.
  • Supporting wider consultancy and innovation work across the organisation.

Team & Organisational Development

  • Contributing to Cause4’s business development and growth activity.
  • Sharing knowledge, expertise and fundraising insight across the team.
  • Supporting the wider strategic and operational needs of the organisation.

PERSON SPECIFICATION

Cause4 is a fast-paced consultancy environment offering significant opportunities for learning and career development.

Skills & Experience

We are particularly interested in candidates who are ambitious, adaptable and keen to grow within a consultancy environment. You may already have experience in fundraising, charity operations, programme delivery, arts administration, partnerships, research or strategy work.

We are looking for:

  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to produce compelling, engaging and high-quality written material.
  • Strong research and analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to interpret and synthesise large and complex amounts of information and data from a range of sources.
  • Experience within a charity, fundraising, arts, education or consultancy environment.
  • An interest in fundraising, philanthropy and organisational development.
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines effectively.
  • Confidence working with a range of stakeholders and building professional relationships.
  • Strategic thinking, creative and problem-solving skills. Strong organisational and coordination skills.
  • Confidence using Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Experience using online platforms such as Zoom or Teams.
