Senior Corporate Fundraising Manager
Full-time/ Permanent
Salary competitive
Based in Camden Town, London

In the UK there are more than one million disabled children and nearly four million children living in poverty.  Variety, the Children’s Charity, exists to improve the lives of those children. Since our inception in 1949 the Charity has raised over £200 million and supported more than 800,000 children affected by ill health, disadvantage and disability across the UK.  When statutory funding cannot adequately meet a child’s needs, Variety steps in. Variety has recently appointed a new Head of Fundraising at head office who is looking to recruit two senior members to the team.

You will develop Variety’s Corporate Fundraising strategy ensuring that our largest income stream continues to grow and play a central role in funding our work with children and young people across the UK. You will support and guide the efforts of the Corporate Fundraising Manager, delivering outstanding account management to our existing supporters, while making opportunities to secure new partnerships and converting interest into income for our work. You will work closely with the Head of Fundraising, Chief Executive and Trustees to develop our networks and take full advantage of the potential that these offer.

You will take a strategic approach to matching the needs of Variety with those of our partners and those businesses who would seek to partner with us, ensuring that our highly tangible offer is made in a way which releases sufficient funds to all aspects of our programme work and to our overall operational costs. You will support the development of our regional corporate fundraising efforts, helping to develop new approaches and agreeing the point at which some of these become national accounts under your management.

You will have a clear sense of the potential we have to grow and develop our corporate fundraising and the drive and determination to secure new partnerships. You will cultivate and develop existing relationships to ensure that we are able to celebrate more milestones like the three multi-million pound partnerships we have had in the last 12 months.

If you would enjoy the challenge of doubling our corporate income over the next 3-5 years, securing increased support from our existing portfolio of donors, and winning new partnerships, this is the role for you.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 8th January
Formal interviews to take place week commencing 13th January.

About the role:

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic self-starter looking to enter the international development sector, with the chance to develop your corporate fundraising skills, including relationship building, account management, and prospect research.

The Corporate Partnerships Intern will be a vital member of the fundraising team, playing an important role in helping retain and grow Transaid’s income.

You will work closely with the Corporate Partnerships Officer to assist with the account management of a number of successful partnerships from the UK transport and logistics industry, as well as helping to research and secure new income and in-kind support.

About Transaid:

Transaid transforms lives through safe, available, and sustainable transport.

Founded by Save the Children, The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), and its Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, the international development organisation shares 20 years’ worth of expertise from multiple countries with partners and governments – empowering people to build the skills they need to transform their own lives.

We focus on professional driver training and rural access to transport, to solve two of the biggest transport challenges in economically developing countries:

In sub-Saharan Africa, road deaths are the third biggest killer following HIV/AIDS and Malaria (Source: The World Bank) and the problem will only rise with the growing population. Drivers are at risk every time they sit behind the wheel due to a lack of legal enforcement and training, and badly maintained and overloaded vehicles.

We work with partners and governments to train driver trainers and to create and promote far-reaching improvements in driving standards, including curricula development. Our driver training programmes make drivers more competent, vehicles safer, and reduce death and injury on the road.

People living in rural areas of Africa often struggle to access vital services. Around 75% of maternal deaths can be avoided through timely access to vital childbirth-related care (Source: The World Bank).

We enable people living rural communities to reach health services when they are in need. We strengthen transport systems and provide access to appropriate forms of transport, including bicycle ambulances.

We are a unique, passionate organisation with the technical expertise to solve these transport challenges, but we couldn’t make a tangible, sustainable difference without our partnerships within the UK transport and logistics industry.

Funding from the transport industry, fundraising challenges and individual support allows us to carry our work where we see the greatest need and pilot new ideas to understand their impact and appropriateness. We can then seek funding from international donors to implement those solutions at a much larger scale, leveraging the industry’s initial investment.

Main Responsibilities:

· Support with the account management of a number of corporate relationships, helping to maximise income and in-kind support

· Work closely with colleagues to collate information, and produce engagement materials and reports for corporate partners

· Help to develop new and imaginative fundraising and employee engagement activities

· Contribute to Transaid’s digital marketing activities, including writing and supplying content for social media, website and e-newsletter, to engage new and existing supporters

· Provide ongoing day-to-day support to the Corporate Partnerships Officer and Fundraising Team, in order to support the deliverance of the Fundraising, Communication and Organisational Strategies

· Update tracking documents and databases, maintaining accurate records

· Undertake sector and company research in order to identify potential new prospects, and to inform the development of compelling proposals and pitches

· Keep up to date with fundraising and industry information, as well as developments in Transaid’s overseas programmes

· Represent Transaid at industry and sector events

· Other duties as agreed with the Corporate Partnerships Officer and Head of Fundraising

· Ensure that all work conforms to Transaid’s policies and guidelines

 Person Specification

Essential:

· Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the energy and passion to engage people and excite them about Transaid

· Previous experience or good knowledge of fundraising

· Confident networker able to represent Transaid at industry events and to liaise with people at all levels, on the telephone, face to face and in writing

· Demonstrable research skills

· Strong time management and organisational skills, with close attention to detail and the ability to work on own initiative

· Competence in IT systems including Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) and email platforms, such as Outlook

· Experience of working in an office environment

· Hard working, professional, team-player, with a can do approach

· Enthusiasm, creativity and commitment to the work of Transaid

Desirable:

· Understanding of and interest in international development

· Knowledge of the UK transport & logistics industry

· Experience of developing and maintaining long term relationships with supporters

· Experience or understanding of corporate fundraising and corporate social responsibility, and how this fits into a charity’s fundraising model

· Experience of prospect research

· Experience of managing information on fundraising databases or similar
