Ready for your next step in fundraising?
If you’ve already had a taste of fundraising, marketing, or client services and you’re looking for an opportunity where you can learn quickly, elevate your career and help charities make a bigger impact, we’d love to hear from you.
At Pebblebeach, we're a boutique fundraising agency based in Brighton, helping brilliant charities raise more money so they can change more lives. For over 18 years, we've chosen to stay proudly boutique, building long-term relationships with our clients and creating a workplace where everyone knows each other, everyone's ideas matter and people genuinely enjoy coming to work.
Thanks to growing demand from our clients, we're expanding our team and looking for someone who shares our passion for great fundraising and wants to grow alongside us.
Why join us?
This isn’t your typical fundraising support role.
Working alongside our experienced fundraising consultants, you’ll gain hands-on experience across fundraising campaigns, client relationships, business development, marketing, project management, CRM and AI-powered ways of working.
As Pebblebeach grows, we hope you will too. We’ll support your development through mentoring, practical experience and a targeted training, giving you the opportunity to build a career in fundraising.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll play a key role in supporting our team and our charity clients by:
· Coordinating fundraising campaigns and consultancy projects.
· Supporting new business, proposals and client relationships.
· Delivering marketing activity and communications.
· Managing our HubSpot CRM and keeping data accurate.
· Researching fundraising opportunities and preparing presentations.
· Helping improve our systems, processes and use of AI.
No two weeks are the same - we are constantly learning, innovating and adapting - and that’s how we like it!
Who we’re looking for
You’ll probably have around 6–12 months’ experience in fundraising, marketing, customer service, client services, sales, administration or another office-based role.
More importantly, you’ll be someone who is:
· Curious, organised and eager to learn.
· Great with people and a confident communicator.
· Happy juggling different projects.
· Passionate about helping charities succeed.
· Looking for a long-term career where you can grow.
What you’ll get
· Mentoring from experienced fundraising professionals.
· Exposure to every part of a fundraising consultancy.
· A targeted training and development.
· Hybrid working from our Brighton office.
· A genuinely supportive, collaborative team.
· Great coffee, too many biscuits and the occasional visit from our office dogs.
A note about applying
As a people-centred business, we believe recruitment should be personal.
We won’t use AI to screen or shortlist applications—every application will be read by a real person.
In return, we’d love you to write your application yourself rather than relying on AI. We’re much more interested in hearing your voice, understanding what motivates you and getting a sense of who you are than reading something perfectly polished.
If you’re invited to interview, you’ll meet people who genuinely care about people, and we’ll communicate with every candidate we interview throughout the process.

Closing Date: 12pm Friday 31st July
Interview Date: Thursday 6th August
Bring your curiosity, your enthusiasm and your own voice. We’ll bring the support, the opportunities and the chance to build a rewarding career helping charities make the world just that bit better.
