- Foster an inclusive, positive volunteer culture, ensuring volunteers feel valued and engaged.
Compliance, Monitoring & Resource Management
- Ensure compliance with Food Hygiene, Health & Safety, and Environmental Standards, maintaining accurate records and certifications.
- Manage budgets effectively, ensuring value for money and accurate reporting.
Innovation & Development
- Work with colleagues to explore and develop revenue opportunities linked to sustainable food and transport initiatives (e.g., monetising cargo bike deliveries).
- Together with partners and colleagues, explore the implementation of employment focussed opportunities for residents, for example via deliveries on the cargo bikes.
Project Awareness & Marketing
- Work with our marketing team to introduce creative community campaigns (e.g., Reverse Advent, seasonal drives, sponsorships) to encourage donations of both food and direct funds.
- Promote the projects with local partners, for example working with local schools to maximise harvest deliveries and raise the profile of the project.

As Senior New Business Development Officer, you will lead the development and implementation of The Resilient Futures Fund's philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with the Head of Fund and colleagues across Christian Aid. Your focus will be on identifying, cultivating, and stewarding a portfolio of high-value donors, ranging from individuals to philanthropic foundations and corporate partners, who are motivated not only by charitable impact, but by the opportunity to contribute to systemic, sustainable change.
This role requires a strong strategic mindset and a deep understanding of the evolving philanthropic landscape, particularly the intersection of traditional giving with social investment, climate finance, and venture philanthropy. You will develop compelling propositions that speak to donors' desire for measurable impact, oversee donor journeys across multiple channels, and support collaborative partnership models, including co-financing and joint ventures, to grow The Resilient Futures Fund's reach and influence.

You bring strong project management skills and can balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day delivery. You are data-informed, impact-driven, and understand how to use evidence and insight to adapt and improve fundraising performance.
You thrive in collaborative environments, building strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders alike. You are excited by the opportunity to contribute to a pioneering climate initiative that sits at the forefront of philanthropic and investment innovation, one that reflects your values and desire to create meaningful, measurable change in the world.
