Fundraising Manager

Organisation: The Outrunners Charity

Job Description

• Job title: Fundraising Manager

• Location: Hackney Bridge, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London (a canalside public destination less than five minutes from Hackney Wick station) 

• Salary: £36,700-£40,000 FTE depending on experience, pro rata to £22,000-£24,000 

• Hours: 0.6 FTE (3 days/21 hours per week). Office hours are 10am - 6pm with occasional evenings and weekends. Flexible working opportunities are available. 

Who are The Outrunners?

The Outrunners are a running and movement charity based in Hackney, on a mission to empower young people through movement. Backed by an incredible crew of volunteers and partner brands like Nike and Moju, we help young people in East London to build confidence, wellbeing, health and leadership skills.

We deliver free, fun, sociable, youth‑led running and movement sessions for 8–18 year olds every week - during term time and holidays. But we’re about more than just running. We create space for young people to explore creativity and culture, go on exciting trips, access wraparound wellbeing support, and develop the skills and opportunities they need to shape the futures they want.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported thousands of young people and helped push greater diversity within the running world.

We like to do things differently - taking young people out of their everyday environments and into exciting new spaces, opening doors to opportunities they might not otherwise have access to. If that sounds like something you want to be part of… read on.

Our achievements

We’re a small charity but we pack a mighty punch. Our income has grown year-on-year since we became a charity 6 years ago -  allowing us to expand our core team and move into office premises large enough to incorporate a Youth Hub. Last year we worked with over 1,150 young people through our school and communities programs, and this year we’re looking to expand our work even further!

To give you a sense of the kinds of work that we do, over the last year we have:

• Hosted a free Girls’ Festival for 100+ ethnically diverse young girls, allowing them to try running sessions, creative classes and yoga experiences in a safe and empowering environment.

• Hosted free training academies for ethnically diverse women and young people aged 16-21 to train for their very first half or full marathons! We offered physical, emotional and logistical support throughout their training journey and cheered on every single one of them as they ran either the Hackney Half or the London Marathon under the Outrunners name. Since programme launch, we have worked with over 250 people in our Academies.

• Took diverse groups of young people to races and events, such as Hackney School run and Black to the Trails. 

• Offered personalised mentoring to several of our young people who were struggling with school or life.

• Expanded the career horizons of young people by offering them a free work experience opportunity with our partner brands.

What do we want?

We are seeking an experienced fundraiser for a strategic and hands-on role who loves working in a small, ambitious charity and wants to help shape the next stage of growth at The Outrunners (current annual income circa £350k).

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead on income generation, with a primary focus on trusts and foundations, while growing a more diverse and sustainable income mix through corporate partnerships, community fundraising and individual giving.

Living Wage Places

The Living Wage Places scheme is pioneering a collaborative, place-based approach to tackling in-work poverty. Local action groups made up of public and private sector Living Wage Employers, work together with charities, unions and civil society on a three-year action plan to tackle local in-work poverty and grow the number of employers committed to the Living Wage, Living Hours and Living Pensions.

Since the scheme launched in 2019, we have recognised 20 cities, boroughs and city-regions for Making Living Wage Places.

Living Wage Places taps into the power of place, recognising and developing local champions within our network and supporting them to engage and influence their community’s employers. It feeds into broader local economic plans such as community wealth building and local anchor institution work.

Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage movement began in 2001, after Citizens UK brought together communities in East London to discuss poverty and low pay. The campaign grew in momentum and soon required a mechanism to recognise employers who wanted to join the movement, which saw the establishment of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011.

Still part of Citizens UK today, the Living Wage Foundation continues to work with community organisations to make sure the voices of both workers and businesses are part of the Living Wage movement. We now work with over 16,000 employers, benefitting over 475,000 people and winning over £3bn of better wages for people who need it most.

Citizens UK works with a broad base of institutions across the political spectrum. At the Living Wage Foundation, we take the same deliberately broad-based approach and accredit all organisations who pay the real Living Wage to their directly and indirectly employed staff and are committed to tackling in work poverty. As a team we work across a range of industries and sectors to achieve this mission. We seek pragmatic coalitions in order to progress specific campaigns, and partnership around a particular issue such as Living Wage, does not imply an endorsement of broader purpose and policies.

Main Responsibilities

The Programme Manager for Living Wage Places plays a central role in delivering and growing a pioneering, place-based approach to tackling in-work poverty. The role is responsible for managing and developing the Living Wage Places programme, supporting local action groups to deliver ambitious action plans, and embedding wider standards including Living Hours and Living Pensions. They will be the first point of contact for regional leads seeking guidance in their work/regions.

About CLTR

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR) is an independent, non-profit think tank working to transform global resilience to extreme AI and biological risks. We work with governments and institutions, offering evidence-based advice to improve understanding, decision-making and governance on some of the most pressing issues of our time.

The role

We're hiring two Operations Associates — one to sit within our AI Policy Unit, one within our Biosecurity Policy Unit. Embedded in your respective team, you'll provide a flexible mix of operational, administrative and project support that keeps the unit running well and frees up policy staff to focus on their work.

It's a genuinely varied role. Day to day you might be coordinating a grant proposal, managing a Director's diary, tracking a publication pipeline, or improving a process that's been getting in everyone's way. You'll also have regular touchpoints with CLTR's central Operations function and scope to contribute to organisation-wide projects.

This is a hands-on generalist role, well suited to someone who wants to develop their skills in project management and operations within a mission-driven environment.

Responsibilities include:

Operations and administration

• Coordinate team meetings, events and travel logistics
• Manage the unit Director's diary and act as a reliable gatekeeper for their time
• Oversee the team calendar and support planning of unit-level activities
• Coordinate the publication pipeline, including liaising with editors and designers
• Maintain filing systems, knowledge management processes and information security procedures
• Support onboarding of new team members and track unit-level budgets and expenses

Project coordination

• Track progress across multiple concurrent projects and ensure updates are shared in a streamlined way
• Log activity and impact across the unit in collaboration with the Delivery Manager
• Provide flexible support to project activities as needed

Grant writing and fundraising

• Coordinate input to grant proposals from policy staff, in partnership with the Fundraising team
• Contribute directly to grant writing with appropriate support
• Help maintain consistent language and references across funding proposals

About you

Essential:

• Experience in an operations, administrative or project management role
• Strong project coordination skills, able to manage multiple workstreams and meet deadlines
• Genuine interest in administration and operations — particularly in making systems work better for people
• Exceptional attention to detail, for calendars, logistics, written documents and presentations
• Ability to produce clear written content for different audiences, including funding proposals
• High level of discretion and comfort with information security protocols
• Proactive, high-agency approach — you follow through on commitments and don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build relationships across teams and with external partners
• Genuine commitment to CLTR's mission
• Eligible to live and work in the UK (we are unable to sponsor visas for this role)

Desirable:

• Experience in a non-profit, think tank or similarly mission-driven organisation
• Executive assistant experience
• Familiarity with AI safety or biosecurity policy
• Knowledge of project management methodologies such as PRINCE2 or Agile

This role is probably not right for you if you're looking for significant strategic or line management responsibility, or if your goal is to move into policy research. We're looking for someone who is genuinely motivated by operational excellence and wants to build a career in operations and/or project management.

Salary and benefits

c.£55,000 depending on experience. If salary is a barrier to applying, please do get in touch to discuss.

• 30 days annual leave plus public holidays
• £5,000 annual wellbeing budget
