Director of fundraising and marketing jobs
How's your job search on our site?
Lead on the development of fundraising support to our 42 cathedrals. A test-and-learn role, with a discovery phase, pilot delivery and the strategic development of programmes, resources and training that are proven to grow fundraised income.
Description
This role is to develop the fundraising support we offer our 42 cathedrals. Church of England cathedrals play a uniquely significant role in national, civic and spiritual life, serving first and foremost as centres of Christian worship and the seat of the bishop, but also as some of the country's most important cultural and community institutions. They act as focal points for diocesan life and as places where people gather for major moments of public celebration and grief, while also contributing extensively to education, music, heritage, tourism and local economies. Their scale, history and openness mean they attract millions of visitors, many of whom are not regular churchgoers, offering space for reflection, creativity and engagement with the Christian story.
However, this breadth of purpose brings significant challenges: cathedrals must balance worship with growing expectations as civic and cultural venues, operate in an increasingly secular and diverse society, and maintain complex historic buildings with limited and often uncertain funding. With many facing structural financial deficits and high costs for maintenance and staffing, alongside reliance on fundraising, grants and visitor income, their long-term sustainability depends on improving and expanding their fundraising activity and successfully developing new income streams while safeguarding their core mission and heritage.
This role is deliberately designed as a test-and-learn function. Its future scope and resourcing will be shaped by the evidence generated through its work. There is a clear expectation that, subject to demonstrated impact, this role will contribute to the development of a sustainable and appropriately resourced model of fundraising support for cathedrals across the Church of England.
This role is a three year fixed term contract.
Closing Date - 19th July 2026
Interviews will take place in Church House, London, on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.
Responsibilities
The Head of Cathedral Fundraising Development is a newly established role within the Giving Directorate and working alongside the B&C team, responsible for strengthening and developing fundraising capacity across the 42 mainland cathedrals of the Church of England. This role is funded for an initial 3-year period, and there is an expectation this work will grow and develop during this period should the audit and piloting of support in the first twelve months identify the need for ongoing support.
Reporting to the Director of Giving (who will line manage you, agree your work plans and development, and who you will be responsible to for the successful delivery of the agreed work plans) and also accountable to the Director of Bishoprics & Cathedrals (to ensure the work meets the needs of the Bishoprics & Cathedrals department, and aligns with their various work streams), this role will lead a programme of discovery, pilot delivery, and strategic development to determine the most effective models of fundraising support for cathedrals. The postholder will work closely with cathedral leaders, development teams, and national colleagues to build confidence, test approaches, and develop scalable solutions grounded in demonstrable impact. This testing of approaches will involve engaging with, and supporting, cathedrals in their fundraising approaches to high net worth individuals, grant making trusts and others, so that tangible evidence of impact can be seen.

- Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of pilots, using both qualitative and quantitative measures

Stakeholder Engagement
- Build strong, trusted relationships with cathedral Deans, Development Directors, Chapters, and senior lay leaders
- Work collaboratively to understand local context and tailor support accordingly
- Act as a credible and influential ambassador for fundraising development across the cathedral network
- Ensure regular visits to cathedrals to develop relationships and build credibility
- Liaise with other Cathedral stakeholders (such as the AEC) to ensure strong alignment of outcomes
- Ensure effective co-ordination with national marketing initiatives of the AEC and others to ensure maximisation of impact
Cross-Directorate Collaboration
- Work closely with colleagues across the Giving Directorate to maximise opportunities for cathedrals to benefit from national initiatives, tools, and resources
- Ensure alignment between cathedral fundraising development and wider giving strategy
Partnership with Bishoprics & Cathedrals
- Work in close partnership with the Bishoprics & Cathedrals Department
- Provide regular progress updates to the Director of Bishoprics & Cathedrals
- Contribute to the development of future funding proposals and bids
Impact, Business Case, and Growth
- Develop a robust evidence base to demonstrate impact and value, including evidence of money raised for cathedrals because of this role, as well as evidencing greater awareness of funding opportunities within the cathedral network and documenting new opportunities for funding that this role has established
- Produce clear recommendations for future investment and resourcing
- Shape proposals for scaling successful approaches across the cathedral network

About the Warm Welcome Campaign
Founded in 2022, the Warm Welcome Campaign wants everyone in the UK to find a place of belonging and reconnection at a Warm Welcome Space near their home. We have a bold purpose to enable a more deeply connected society where we all have free access to welcoming community spaces.
We resource, connect and champion a network of over 6,300 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fueled by human warmth.
We’re working hard to reach everyone with the message that a Warm Welcome is waiting for them just around the corner, all through the year.
Throughout all our work and within our team we live out our values of being inclusive, collaborative and courageous and our personality that is friendly, adventurous and uplifting.
We value diversity, and we recognise the enormous benefits and the social imperative of bringing together diverse groups of people. We therefore warmly welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
It’s an important moment for us – we launched a new five year strategy which shows a clear picture of the path we have set ourselves ahead to continue to deliver and deepen our impact. We launched our 100% Pledge Campaign and in January delivered our second Warm Welcome Week in collaboration with a wide variety of partners.
On a path of growth, we are looking to build on the exciting opportunities already developed as well as continuing to explore potential. The team is growing to meet fundraising demand and maximise the wealth of opportunity available and we are looking for another team member to join us as we look to our future together.
