The role suits someone who thrives in a dynamic, justice-driven environment, is comfortable with ambiguity and change, and has the gravitas and hands-on mindset required in a senior role.

- Develop and lead the fundraising strategy: securing income from trusts, foundations, major donors, corporates, and other sources.
- Build, deepen and manage relationships with funders, partners and stakeholders to secure existing and new funding.
- Monitor fundraising performance, budgets, forecasts and contribute to organisational financial sustainability.
- Work operationally as required across the organisation: supporting RLS’s systems, processes and leadership team to ensure effective delivery and growth.
- Be a key member of the senior management team, working closely with the Executive Director, Legal Director and Board of Trustees to shape RLS’s strategic direction.
- Ensure high standards of reporting, monitoring and impact-communication to funders and stakeholders.
- Help embed organisational systems and infrastructure to support scale-up and sustainability.
Person specification
We’re seeking someone who:
- Has great experience in senior fundraising roles (ideally including trust/foundation, donor relationships and multi-stream income generation).
- Is comfortable operating at a strategic level and also stepping into operational matters when needed.
- Has excellent communication and influencing skills, able to engage with senior stakeholders, funders and leadership teams.
- Thrives in a fast-moving, values-driven environment, comfortable with change, ambiguity and organisational growth.
- Shares a strong commitment to migrant justice, equity and the mission of RLS.
- Is organised, resilient, and able to manage competing priorities across fundraising and operations.
Working arrangements
This role is based in London with hybrid working: you will be required to be in the office at least two days a week, with the remainder of time flexible. The post will require occasional flexibility for meetings, events or travel as part of senior leadership commitments.
RLS is committed to equality of opportunity, particularly welcoming applications from candidates with lived experience of migration, forced displacement, or marginalised communities.
We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
