Oxfam Ireland has been supported by people across the island of Ireland for over 60 years.

We have shops across the island of Ireland, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and 1,200 volunteers who are delivering real change to the lives of people affected by poverty.

People like the child who wants to go to school; the mother who needs healthcare for her baby; the farmer who sees climate change wipe out his crops and livestock; the women whose voices need to be heard in the decision-making process; the young people whose lives could be transformed with business training, the family that has lost everything in a natural disaster.

We respond to humanitarian emergencies around the world – wherever they happen. We help people to help themselves and build a brighter future through our long-term projects. We campaign nationally and internationally on issues ranging from the arms trade to women’s rights, inequality and climate change.

Last year, Oxfam Ireland reached over 8 million people; affecting positive change in their lives and contributed to Oxfam International’s work that reached over 19.5 million people.

Our teams in Dublin and Belfast collaborate to ensure our all-island approach is successful.

Dublin is a global, entrepreneurial city with a bright future. Ireland’s GDP growth in 2018 was a remarkable 6.7%, the fastest in Europe and in 2019 the country had the EU’s second-fastest growing economy.

Oxfam Ireland is located in Dublin’s historic docklands, home to the city’s thriving financial and tech industries. Dublin continues to do well in rankings of culture and competitiveness. Global companies continue to base their European HQs in Dublin and the local start-up scene is buzzing.

About the Candidate

We seek an enthusiastic and innovative fundraising and marketing leader who has experience of creating and delivering innovative plans for income generation and who will empower the fundraising and marketing teams to achieve ambitious fundraising, philanthropy and marketing programmes.

As Director of Fundraising and Marketing you will report to the CEO as part of the organisational senior leadership team. You will also work closely with the Board and chair the internal fundraising steering committee.

To deliver in this role you will require an extensive track record of developing and implementing strategic plans to achieve income growth across sustainable fundraising channels to generate funds.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive, successful fundraising specialist with a growth mindset and a customer-centric approach, and who will be responsible for driving a high-performance culture of accountability in teams.
