Connect: North Korea was established in the UK in 2018 to address the complex challenges North Koreans face in building new lives once they’ve escaped the oppressive North Korean regime and reached safety in a free country. We do this by providing highly tailored, holistic support programmes.

We are a UK-based organisation with a global aim: Enabling every person who escaped the oppression of North Korea, to heal, grow, and live the life they choose.

Connect: North Korea has been almost entirely dependent on grants from trusts and foundations to achieve our aims to date. Following a feasibility study, we have identified public fundraising as a significant channel for growth. We have developed our first public fundraising strategy, which is focused in its first year on individual giving. We’re now looking for an individual giving specialist to set up, develop, test, and extract learnings from an individual giving programme. There is scope to expand into other areas of public fundraising at a later time, but the focus initially is exclusively on individual giving.

Position: Individual Giving Manager

Based at: This is a hybrid role. We will be as flexible as possible to accommodate the right candidate, including the possibility of a fully remote role. Our office is in southwest London (KT3).

Contract: Permanent. Full-time (35 hours per week). Flexible hours/days/job-share possible.

Salary: £32,000 - £35,000 + 3% pension.

Benefits: 28 days holidays plus all public holidays on top. We also offer 2 additional days: 1 recharge day where the whole charity closes and 1 day in the week of a staff member’s birthday.

Overall aim and objectives of the post

We are seeking to implement our first individual giving strategy. This will help Connect: North Korea grow from a small community start-up into an efficient, self-sustaining international organisation by consistently growing our unrestricted income year on year.

The post holder will develop, set up, and implement a pilot individual giving programme.

A key focus in the first year will be defining test audiences for giving (based on a combination of research, hypotheses, and live testing), combined with testing propositions and media to establish key learnings and key performance indicators. These will be used inform the shape and scope of the programme in year two, and provide key performance indicator benchmarks to inform our budgeting.

There is no financial target in the first year. Success in year 1 will be evaluated based on:

• delivery of a programme of individual giving 'test and learn' pilot year activities;
• identifying key learnings to use as a basis for year 2 audiences and activities; and
• developing a recommended plan for year 2 

If you are a fundraising professional with experience of handling sensitive issues, this is an excellent opportunity to take on a highly rewarding role supporting our work.

Location: Bangkok, Thailand.

Salary: For more details on ICRC salary scales click here.

Reports to: Partnerships Development Manager (Asia Pacific).

Job Level: C1

Hardship: H0 – full family posting (after six months of seniority of direct employment with ICRC)

Contract Type: Full time 4-year assignment with possibility to renew.

What we do

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral, and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC responds to humanitarian needs worldwide through its network of delegations and as part of the wider International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (the Movement).

In the context of growing humanitarian needs, the ICRC launched its Resource Mobilization Strategy 2020-2030 to guide fundraising efforts over the course of the next decade. This strategy is underpinned by the Movement-wide Principles for Resource Mobilization, adopted at the 2017 Council of Delegates, which articulate a vision in which resource mobilization within the Movement becomes more than the sum of individual efforts by different Movement components. Fundraising efforts at the ICRC are geared towards making this vision a reality, adopting a central guiding principle that ‘what is good for the Movement, is good for the ICRC’. The ICRC is committed to working together with Movement components (National Societies and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent) to maximize our collective potential.

The Strategy Implementation Plan (SIP) process will guide this evolution to deliver increasing income for ICRC and the other Movement components with which it actively collaborates on private sector engagement. In support of this, ICRC is establishing a private sector engagement (PSE) team for Asia-Pacific, primarily based in Bangkok. Asia-Pacific presents significant potential as home to some of the fastest growing economies globally, as well as global and local trends in philanthropy. This role together with other posts to support foundation and corporate philanthropy, fundraising content development and Movement fundraising collaboration will be central in ensuring that our Movement secures the resources it needs to continue to alleviate human suffering around the world.

Purpose

As part of the Resource Mobilization Division (REM) and within a regional team based in Bangkok, this role will have responsibility for helping to progressively increase ICRC and other Movement income from the private sector through the development of strong philanthropic collaborations, with a focus on major gifts from individual supporters and where relevant, family supporters, including ultra- and high net worth individuals, ensuring that targets are met. The role will harness ICRC’s assets and work together with National Societies and the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) as necessary to present the Movement’s comparative advantages within a crowded philanthropy landscape.

Investing in engagement in Asia-Pacific is a prototype, testing and leading the way for resource mobilization efforts in other regions. Accordingly, this role requires flexibility and agility, working collaboratively and effectively within the ICRC and beyond to develop positive, productive relationships, through which to deliver experiences, which enhance and recognize supporter relationships. In doing so, the post-holder will help achieve collective income targets.

This role will work closely with colleagues across the Movement in Asia-Pacific. Your approach should be collaborative, characterized by thoughtful action and decision-making, empathy, discretion, and tact.

Context

By end 2022, the ICRC private sector engagement team in Bangkok will expand to 5. This team has successfully stewarded high value gifts from across the Asia Pacific region and contributed to innovative

ways of working together with National Societies and the IFRC to increase resourcing for the Movement as a whole. You will join a team of fundraising experts at the beginning of an exciting journey in private

Do you want to make life better for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, is seeking someone passionate about improving life for the LGBT+ community in the UK to be our new Training and Commercial Manager.

Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

We run three national support helplines: for LGBT+ victims and survivors of domestic abuse, survivors of so-called “conversion therapy”, and LGBT+ people who have experienced hate crime. We provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT+ victims who need longer-term support. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them and then supporting them through their journey.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy changes, to improve outcomes for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research, like our upcoming report on LGBT+ experiences of sexual violence. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and a better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ people around the country.

This new role will sit within our wider Fundraising and Comms team, working with our Head of Fundraising and Comms to diversify our funding and income streams. The Training and Business Development Manager will be responsible for the development, sales, and delivery of all commercial training packages, other paid-for services and consultancy work, and for identifying other potential sources of income for the organisation. The role additionally supports the Head of Fundraising and Comms in key income-generating activities with individual and corporate supporters, as well as working with our Comms Manager to produce content and resources around abuse and violence for public consumption.

You will oversee the development and growth of our commercial training offer, ensuring that it provides meaningful change for our community as well as providing an income stream. You will ensure a strategic approach to our commercial work, ensuring it is always linked to our mission to provide support to LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence, as well as rooted in our specialist knowledge. You will ensure all training packages and external resources are developed in line with our brand and key messaging. You will also be responsible, with support from our Head of Fundraising and Comms, for forecasting income and reviewing progress over time to ensure that the work remains commercially viable and contributes to the long-term sustainability of the organisation.

You will work with clients and supporters from the corporate sector as well as the VSCO sector in order to maximise income and impact as well as help to steward and develop those relationships, alongside improving the response to LGBT+ victims of abuse and violence in those organisations. You will develop, market, coordinate and be able to deliver these products directly to clients as required. You will identify new opportunities for commercial products and income generation through your insights gained from working with these networks and with the wider Galop team. You will support the Head of Fundraising and Comms in other activities geared towards relationship building and income generation as needed.

At Galop, we believe that life should be safe, just and fair for all LGBT+ people, and that includes our staff in the workplace. We believe in equity and understand the importance of inclusion for staff with a wide range of lived experience. No matter your age, race, faith, orientation, gender identity, disability, or class, we want you to feel welcome here. To that end, Galop has a multi-year Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion plan in place, currently focusing on equity and inclusion for trans and BAMER members of staff.

About us

Airwars is a UK-based not-for-profit transparency watchdog which tracks, assesses, documents and geolocates civilian harm resulting from explosive weapons use in conflict-affected countries - such as Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya and Somalia. We are affiliated with the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London, where our office is currently based. As an organisation, we are a member of several civil society networks, including INEW - the International Network on Explosive Weapons use; the Casualty Recorders Network - part of Every Casualty Counts; and the newly established Minorities in Peace and Security network.

Why we exist

By building a public record, at scale and in real time, we seek to hold belligerents to account for their actions: we provide a comprehensive and reliable evidence base for individuals, communities and civil society as they bring claims of harm to those responsible; and we push for a narrative shift around explosive weapons use, especially in urban areas, by exposing the devastating human toll of modern urban warfare. We aim to be advocates for civilians in all conflict zones, therefore we do not take positions on the legality or political positioning of any of the belligerents we monitor. We are committed to the field of civilian protection and neutral on all conflicts and belligerents we monitor.

Structure

Originally founded in 2014, we are a small team of consultants, staff and volunteers. We bring varied lived experience to the organisation, which is important for us to respect. We work across multiple regions and timezones, including with colleagues based in conflict-affected regions. As such, we want to foster a work environment where we encourage proactive communication among colleagues and a sense of collective purpose.
