As our Fundraising Research and Operations Manager you'll support both our Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships teams. These teams provide expert support to fundraisers in the areas of finance, data analysis, prospect research and pipeline management, database usage, high value audience events, and stewardship and cultivation approaches. Ultimately this role will help to enable fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’, P&P’s and BHF’s priorities.

As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role that covers both research and operations responsibilities in support of the Corporate Partnerships team.

Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation. The fundraiser does not face the prospect, donor, or corporate alone; they are supported and prepared for the challenge by those who have identified the opportunity right through to others who have shaped their case for support or proposal.

As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.

About you

You'll have previous experience of managing prospect pools; segmenting and tracking donors and a strong track record of implementing effective prospect research strategies.

About Why me?

Why me? are the national charity delivering and promoting Restorative Justice for everyone affected by crime and conflict. 

Restorative Justice allows people affected by criminal and other harmful behaviour to communicate with the person responsible, often with the aim of a face to face meeting. This gives the person who has been harmed the opportunity to seek answers, express how they were affected, and explain what could be done to put things right. It also helps the person responsible to see the real impact of their actions and encourages them to change their behaviour. Restorative Justice is managed by trained facilitators and can be used to address any crime or conflict, as long as both parties consent. It is not used as a substitute for other measures, and can take place while people are serving time in prison.

About the role

This is a new role which will help Why me? to continue to grow.
