Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager - Individual Philanthropy
This is a key role of the Freedom Fund’s partnerships team, responsible for leading and implementing the organisation’s individual fundraising strategy. This is a strategic, high-autonomy role with responsibility for developing and managing a global portfolio of individual donors and prospects, guiding them through all stages of the donor lifecycle - from identification and cultivation to solicitation and stewardship.

They will also manage and coordinate the strategic involvement of senior leadership - including the CEO, Managing Director of External Relations, and Head of Strategic Partnerships - in high-level donor engagement.
The SSPM will directly supervise at least one team member supporting both individual and foundation fundraising, and may manage additional staff as the individual giving function grows. They will collaborate closely with colleagues across the organisation - including the Events Manager, Communications team, and Programs teams - to develop compelling donor materials, shape engagement opportunities, and ensure alignment of messaging and strategy.
This role offers an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and values-driven fundraiser to build and lead a critical function within a fast-paced, global organisation working to end modern slavery.
Based in New York and reporting to the Head of Strategic Partnerships, the postholder will work collaboratively with colleagues across the U.S. and U.K. to grow and steward a portfolio of high-net-worth individuals and help shape the broader strategic partnerships strategy.
