Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Their vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water, and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.
Greenpeace UK’s mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way. Their three-year plan outlines how Greenpeace UK (GPUK) is going to play a vital role in getting there.
Their recently established Events & Operations hub brings together donor-facing events and the operational systems and processes that underpin high-value fundraising, creating a cohesive function that supports outstanding supporter experiences and sustainable income growth.
We are looking for an organised and proactive Events & Operations Officer to play a key role within this function and deliver the experiences, systems and insight that support Greenpeace UK’s Major Donor, Trusts & Foundations and Legacy fundraising programmes.
This is far from a typical events role. Working closely with the Events & Operations Manager, you will lead on many of the team’s cultivation and stewardship events, creating opportunities for supporters to connect directly with Greenpeace’s mission and impact. You could be coordinating major donor networking events, organising behind-the-scenes briefings with campaigners, delivering legacy stewardship events, supporting unique supporter experiences, or helping to bring prospects together through creative events and workshops.
Alongside event delivery, you will play an equally important role in the operational side of the team. From CRM reporting and data management to process improvement and cross-organisational projects, you will help create the systems and infrastructure that enable fundraisers to spend more time building relationships and securing income.
This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, loves making complex projects run smoothly, and takes genuine satisfaction from both delivering exceptional experiences and improving the processes behind them. It is an opportunity to work closely with an experienced manager, take ownership of significant areas of work, and help shape a function that continues to evolve.
As Events & Operations Officer, you will:
- Lead the delivery of many of Greenpeace UK’s high-value cultivation and stewardship events, taking ownership of planning, logistics, supplier management and on-the-day delivery
- Support a diverse programme of donor events, including networking events, campaign briefings, webinars, roundtables and supporter experiences that bring donors closer to Greenpeace’s work
- Support the delivery of flagship events led by the Events & Operations Manager, helping to create exceptional experiences for major donors, legacy supporters and prospects
- Work across the Key Relationships team to ensure events are embedded within supporter journeys and contribute to engagement, stewardship and income growth
- Design and maintain CRM reports and dashboards, providing fundraisers with the insights they need to manage portfolios, track pipelines and forecast income
- Maintain accurate and compliant CRM records, supporting data integrity, GDPR compliance and effective reporting
- Identify and implement process improvements that help fundraisers spend more time building relationships and less time on administration
- Act as a key operational link with colleagues across Data & Insight, Finance and other teams, helping to improve systems, processes and ways of working
- Support team coordination, planning and cross-organisational projects while contributing to the continued development of the Events & Operations hub
Essential skills and experience:
- Proven success delivering high-value fundraising events, with responsibility for planning, logistics and execution
- Strong experience using CRM databases such as Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge or similar platforms for data entry, reporting, and record maintenance
- Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high standards
- Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, coordinate complex logistics and meet deadlines
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with colleagues, suppliers and supporters
- A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to identify inefficiencies, improve processes and work effectively across teams
- Clear evidence of working in a values-driven way, demonstrating commitment to collaboration, inclusion, continuous learning and role-modelling organisational values consistent with Greenpeace UK
Desirable, but not essential:
- Experience of both major donor and legacy fundraising events
- Experience contributing to process improvement, systems development or fundraising operations projects

Greenpeace UK recognise the value in having a diverse workforce, as well as the importance of creating equal opportunities for all. Applications are welcomed and encouraged from people of all backgrounds.
Applications are particularly encouraged from people of colour, disabled people, and people who identify as working class now or in the past.

Anti-racism and inclusion commitments
Greenpeace UK wants its team to reflect the diversity of the communities it works alongside. It is committed to fairness, inclusion, and challenging discrimination and oppression in all its forms.
The environmental sector still has further to go when it comes to representation. Greenpeace UK has published ambitious race representation targets and, through its Anti Racism Plan, is working proactively to achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions.
As part of this commitment, a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) is being piloted. Greenpeace UK aims to offer an interview to everyone who opts into the scheme and meets the essential criteria. Guaranteed interview applications will be processed by QuarterFive and shared only with the Greenpeace UK recruiting manager and HR team.
If you identify as a person of colour and meet the essential criteria for the role, you can choose to opt in to the Guaranteed Interview Scheme via the screening questions for application via CharityJob.
Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of colour may hesitate to apply unless they meet every area of the person specification. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet all the criteria, you are encouraged to apply.
Employee benefits
Employee benefits include:
- 25 days annual leave for full-time staff, with additional leave accrued according to length of service up to a maximum of 32 days
- Once a month, all Greenpeace staff take an organisational ‘breather’ day where the office closes with no expectations of output on these days
- Office closure normally occurs between Christmas and new year and staff are not required to use annual leave to cover this period
- Employer pension contribution of 8.5% of basic salary, provided employees contribute at least 3%
- Interest free season ticket loan, or a tax efficient bicycle loan
- Life assurance scheme (4 x annual salary)
- Employee Assistance Programme that includes access to free confidential advice with a qualified counsellor
Greenpeace UK are partnering with Laura Macnamara at QuarterFive on this appointment. Application is by CV and answers to the screening questions in the first instance.
The screening questions are intended to give us a little more context about your experience and suitability for the role. They are not a formal supporting statement, so please don't feel you need to provide lengthy answers.
Laura will contact suitable candidates and invite them to an informal screening call. Full support will be provided for formal application.

Who we are
Social AF are experts in Social Media Moderation. Established in 2021, we work with some of the biggest names in the third sector and have supported charities to raise over £45 million through their Facebook Challenges and Virtual events.
We are a fast-growing agency with a strong reputation for delivering outstanding results. Our team of experienced fundraisers know exactly what it’s like to be on the front line and put their heart and soul into every event.
About the Role
As a Fundraising Group Moderator, you’ll manage Facebook groups of up to 10,000 challenge participants, providing exceptional supporter care and helping participants raise five‑ and six‑figure sums for some of the biggest names in the charity sector.
This role is ideal for experienced fundraisers looking for flexible freelance work or an additional income stream. You’ll work remotely, using your own laptop and WiFi, and bring your personality, empathy and initiative to every interaction.
You must be able to begin moderation at 9am (or earlier), wrap up by 9pm, and maintain our sub‑three‑hour response time.
Key Responsibilities
-
Represent the charity’s voice, uphold brand guidelines and act as the charity representative
-
Maintain a safe, positive and inclusive group environment

Identify, report, escalate and signpost all safeguarding concerns

Workload & Peak Periods
Our challenge calendar has natural peaks, and moderators must be prepared for increased activity during September-November and January-March. These months see higher participant numbers and more concurrent events, meaning more posts, questions and supporter interactions. In addition to these seasonal surges, the first and last day of every month are consistently the busiest, as participants start and complete their challenge.
We maintain a flexible, supportive team culture, and to keep this fairness and flexibility in place, moderators must be willing to work occasional bank holidays and be available on the first or last day of each month, when group activity is at its highest.
Working Pattern
Moderation takes place between 9am and 9pm, Monday to Sunday.
Rather than working in one continuous block, you’ll complete your hours in short check-ins across the day to maintain coverage and meet response time targets.
Each account is allocated a set number of ‘active moderation hours’ per day (e.g. 2-3 hours), which are spread across multiple sessions. For example, 3 hours may be split into 5-6 check-ins throughout the day.
You must be able to:
-
Start moderation from 9am (or earlier)
-
Monitor activity throughout the day
-
Complete a final check before 9pm and be present to sign off at 9pm
-
Adhere to our sub-3-hour response time

About us
Greyhound Rescue Wales (GRW) is Wales’ leading charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming greyhounds and lurchers. Founded in 1993, we have spent more than three decades championing the welfare of sighthounds and working towards our vision: a Wales without greyhound racing, where every greyhound and lurcher has a home and receives the best possible care.
In April 2026, after 25 years of determined campaigning to improve welfare and regulation within the racing industry, legislation to ban greyhound racing in Wales was finally passed. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter for GRW as we expand our reach and capacity across the UK to ensure every greyhound leaving the racing industry has a rescue space, medical support and rehabilitation on the journey towards their forever home.
To help us grow sustainably and strengthen our long‑term impact, we are now seeking to develop our fundraising team with the creation of a Trusts and Foundations Officer. This role will play a key part in increasing and diversifying our income, enabling us to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome even more dogs during this pivotal moment in our charity’s history.
Role
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Trusts & Foundations fundraiser who is ready to strengthen and diversify their experience, to work with small, medium and high-value funders, and to play a meaningful role within Greyhound Rescue Wales.
The Trusts and Foundations Officer is responsible for securing grants of varying sizes, translating all aspects of GRW’s work into compelling, high-quality applications for a diverse range of prospective funders.
As part of our Income Generation Team, you will work closely with the Head of Fundraising, Sponsorship & Individual Giving Officer and Community & Events Fundraiser to help deliver an annual income target of £400K+.
You’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of trust and foundation relationships, building on warm funders while also researching and developing new prospects at the four-to six-figure level.
This role offers hands-on experience across the full trusts fundraising cycle — from research and relationship-building to bid writing, reporting and stewardship with strong support and clear opportunities to grow
