As Business Development Manager you will be a key member of our highly regarded fundraising team playing a significant part in the charity's success. You will be responsible for managing high value corporate partnerships and developing and delivering a pipeline of multi-year partnerships.

This is an exciting role that combines new business and account management, implementing Orchid's corporate fundraising strategy with the aim of maximising income from corporate partnerships.

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with the Human Dignity Trust to recruit their new Development Manager. Across more than 70 countries around the globe, millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are criminalised for engaging in consensual same-sex intimacy, and they continue to face stigma, discrimination, persecution and prosecution on a daily basis. The Human Dignity Trust is the world's leading human rights organisation dedicated to eradicating these archaic laws by supporting local lawyers and human rights defenders to mount critical, often life-saving, legal challenges in domestic, regional and international courts and tribunals, and by helping governments to re-write their laws to be human rights compliant.

The Development Manager will manage the entire cycle of trusts and foundations and institutional fundraising partnerships, which currently accounts for roughly half of the organisation's total income. While this role will not be responsible for the organisation's UK government funding, you will need to understand the entire portfolio mix and understand the global ecosystem of grant funding. The Manager will consider new, thoughtful approaches to leading grant-making organisations across the world and will develop a strategic pipeline of funding applications for the months and years ahead. Crucially, you will be able to work at pace with shifting priorities and be able to communicate often complex systems and topics into clear narratives for a variety of funding audiences.

The selected candidate will be a vital member of the team and thus will need to have experience working to ambitious fundraising targets on their own. Your key skills will include writing compelling, tailored applications to funders (both current and prospective) and relevant, timely reports to current funders. You will be excited by the work of the Human Dignity Trust and be comfortable setting your own priorities and workflow. You will also thoroughly enjoy trust and foundations and institutional fundraising and will have demonstrable experience of working autonomously.

At Prospectus we invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you with your application. We welcome candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds, particularly those from LGBT and black and minority ethnic communities, which are currently under-represented in the organisation.

In order to apply please submit your CV in the first instance. Should your skill set be suitable, we will send you the full job description and will arrange for a call and/or meeting to brief you on the role. You'll then have all the information you need to formally apply. We are looking forward to connecting with you soon.
