Already a key performer in the charity or not for profit sector, you will need evidence of successful corporate fundraising and multi-year partnerships of a minimum £100k value.  Experience of developing and delivering organisation-wide fundraising strategies and tactical plans, along with a proven track record of managing and exceeding fundraising targets is essential.

A proven track record of organising community and engagement events will be extremely useful complemented by a good understanding of communications strategy, particularly in relation to planning marketing campaigns based on evidence of customer insight.

This role will particularly suit an experienced Fundraising Manager looking to expand your portfolio to communications, or maybe an excellent Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser looking to take a step up in your career.  A good knowledge and understanding of equality and gender issues will be necessary.
