Integrity Action is seeking a seasoned, creative, and tenacious relationship builder, with strong proposal writing and persuasive speaking skills to fill this newly created Senior Management Team position. You will lead on securing approximately £2 million annual income for our pioneering approach that combines a tried and tested citizen-centred methodology with Integrity Action’s proprietary tool and mobile app called DevelopmentCheck.

Integrity Action’s priorities in 2021 and 2022 are:

• Spreading our work by integrating it into development practice and public service delivery.
• Continuing to innovate, so we can help citizens solve the widest possible range of problems, from workers being exploited to understaffed hospitals.
• Researching key pressing questions in transparency and accountability that include how to ensure sustainable accountability outcomes, what motivates officials and other responsible parties to act with integrity, and how problems are being solved.

You will work closely with the Head of Programme Development to convert learnings, project concepts and designs into compelling offers to trusts, foundations and institutional funders. You will lead on writing the most strategically important proposals, and potentially commission external support to complete other proposals.

Your involvement in this process will be to contribute to the reports to ensure they also work as a fundraising tool.

As a member of the Senior Management Team you will contribute to the strategic leadership of the organisation. This means leading on creating a fundraising function including strengthening strategic fundraising and executing annual plans. You will report to the CEO and share progress with the senior management and Board leadership quarterly.

Although all team members are based in the UK, we are all working remotely. Once it is safe for us to work face-to-face, we will consider in consultation with the team taking up an office space located in London. If we do, how we work will be aligned with our flexible working policy.

We expect you to live our organisational values. We believe that diversity of people, ideas and cultures enriches both our insights into the work we do and our relationship with each other.
