To be successful in this role, you will enjoy working with a  range of funders, from major donors to traditional foundations to brand-led corporate partners. No two days will be the same, and you will thrive on pace and finding new opportunities. You’ll enjoy real autonomy and the chance to build relationships directly with high-value supporters, making a tangible impact in a collaborative and encouraging environment. Our networks are currently underdeveloped, which means there’s a meaningful opportunity to make your mark - developing new relationships and delivering significant results.

What we’re looking for:

• A motivated, ambitious and results-driven fundraiser who is confident building high level relationships.
• A strong communicator, able to develop and deliver compelling comms in writing and verbally.
• A capable project manager with strong attention to detail, who can deliver work proactively and collaboratively.

At Target Ovarian Cancer, we’re a values-led, insight-driven organisation with a progressive, empowering culture and an experienced leadership team that champions agility and innovation. We are an ambitious charity, building on our achievements and targeting what’s important to stop ovarian cancer devastating lives - symptoms awareness, early diagnosis, better treatments and support for all. We are also investing in our future. Join us and together we'll fight for a world where everyone with ovarian cancer lives.

This is a permanent, full time role. We currently offer a hybrid-working model. This means you may usually work from your home or remote location, but are expected to attend meetings and pay for your own travel to the office in Angel, London when required. 

Please submit your application by midnight on Thursday 10th July.  The provision date for first interviews is Thursday 19th and these will be carried out on Teams.

We want to make our recruitment accessible to all, if there is a way we can support you in your application, please contact us.
