About Us
The Good Ancestor Movement is a UK-based advisory and consultancy firm supporting individuals and organisations to redistribute wealth in ways that are reparative, regenerative and aligned with their deepest values. We work with wealth holders to challenge traditional models of accumulation and tax avoidance, and instead imagine futures where wealth actively contributes to social equity, economic justice, and ecological resilience.
We support clients to shift from extractive to regenerative practices, helping them translate their values into meaningful action through redistribution, reparations, and investment aligned with justice.
Our programmes, like Reimagining Wealth, invite individuals to understand the wider impacts of their capital and take intentional steps toward responsible stewardship.
Good Ancestor Movement’s consultancy work includes strategy design, values-aligned redistribution planning, and building tools and systems that support collective accountability and transformative impact. We are committed to building a regenerative economy where wealth is mobilised in service of repair and liberation.
Resource Mobilisation Team
The Resource Mobilisation team at the Good Ancestor Movement helps liberate and steward financial flows in service of justice, reparation, and systemic change. The team works with wealth holders, funders, and movement partners to design values-aligned redistribution strategies, manage pooled funding vehicles, and co-create tools and practices that shift the culture of wealth. Our work includes grant and investment operations, grantee relationship support, community learning, and strategic resourcing design rooted in equity and care.
About Your Role
As a Resource Mobilisation Lead you will join our Resource Mobilisation team at Good Ancestor Movement in an exciting time for our organisation’s growth. You will be working closely with Kiki Mager, Director of Resource Mobilisation, although you will be working alongside our entire team and contribute to the organisation’s bold aims and ambitions within your role.
After having run 5 cohorts of our political education journey Reimagining Wealth, we launched a trial community of practice for wealth holders collectivising them around a pledge to redistribute. This community of practice is called Catalytic Collective and includes a pooled resourcing vehicle, the Roots Fund, to which members commit funds which are then being redistributed through a participatory governance model, the Accountability Circle, led by movement leaders. We have just completed our first pilot year of this resourcing vehicle including the release of our first round of 3-year funding commitments. To ensure the ongoing feasibility of this vehicle we are looking for a passionate new team member to tend to the ongoing development and scaling of this work.
The Catalytic Collective, Accountability Circle and Roots Fund formed in response to findings of a research and report that we commissioned with Decolonising Economics into Resourcing the Solidarity Economy. This report is the bedrock for our emergent resourcing vehicle and wider organising of wealth holders around wealth redistribution and stewardship practices centred in collective liberation. It also informs our educational programmes, our consultancy offerings and Transformative Investment Practice development.
As our Resource Mobilisation Lead, you will primarily support the management and ongoing development of our resourcing vehicle with Catalytic Collective (CC), the Accountability Circle (AC), the Solidarity Partners (SP) receiving funds and our wider wealthholder community. Your roles here will include:
-
Liaison with our fiscal host Social Change Nest and ensuring processes and grantees (‘Solidarity Partners’) experiences are in alignment with our mission and intentions.
-
Relationship management and primary contact for Solidarity Partners
-
Leading the development and/or fine tuning of a grant management system (GMS) to improve oversight and streamline processes together with one of our movement partners and manage the GMS once implemented, particularly as the number of grants mobilised will increase.
-
Supporting the AC with admin related tasks like the scheduling of meetings, direction on discussion points and the refinement of their own governance.
-
Administering CC agreements and resourcing commitments including confirming & signing funding agreements with CC members, sending out reminders about funding cycle renewal and exploring approaches to open up the resourcing pool for wider funders to contribute as a one-off without being a CC member.
-
Notice, reflect on and feed into ongoing learning and development around the processes and systems in place and what might we need to consider to further improve these in alignment with our vision and mission.
-
Manage the process of mobilising resources from our wider wealth holder community and others to commit boldly.
-
Support with story telling proposition and narrative pieces to support building momentum around the resourcing vehicle
Alongside this workstream, you will also:
-
Steward our Capital Campaigns process to support ad hoc relational and strategic resource mobilisation opportunities meeting needs of aligned organisations in the new and regenerative economy space.
-
Contribute to ideation and creation of tools and practices that further activate and guide wealth holders and wealth advisors in their journeys towards just transition aligned redistribution and stewardship practices.
About You
-
You will care deeply about justice and the transition to a fairer economic system.
-
Through your lived, academic and/or work experience you will deeply connect with the problems of the current system;
-
You feel excited about contributing towards building life-affirming infrastructure for a young but growing social purpose organisation;
-
You have the capacity to engage in self-reflection and a commitment to doing the work of embodying anti-oppressive practice;
-
You can see yourself being comfortable communicating in a thoughtful and empathetic manner with a range of stakeholders across our community including: Movements, community groups and grassroots organisations; New Economy movement partners, wealth holders and wealth advisors;
-
You will not be tied to how things have always been done and will be excited to explore new and emerging concepts with a curious and open growth mindset.
-
You have experience of (or are excited about) collaborating with or working in small emerging teams with ambitious goals and much experimentation;
-
You are able to work independently to tight deadlines while working closely with colleagues, proactively communicating your needs and any changes to agreed timelines;
-
You have experience of (developing and) administering funding or resourcing processes, are committed to critically reflecting on existing practices and you bring creativity and courage to implement change;
-
You ideally have experience of managing CRM tools, digital community platforms such as Notion, Basecamp or Teachable, and developing and executing communications strategies;
We understand that the issues we work on disproportionately impact on low-income, marginalised and minoritised communities. We are an organisation led by a Black female founder and CEO and as an inclusive employer that values both lived experience and professional experience, we hope to be able to attract applicants from a range of backgrounds for this important role. You do not need to have a university degree for this role, nor is it essential for you to have experience in the new economy ecosystem: we care about your character, your experience and your ability to demonstrate leadership and practice personal growth.
We exist to accelerate the just transition to a regenerative economy by leveraging the power of private capital.

Fundraising Manager - Tiphereth
About Tiphereth
Tiphereth is a Camphill community in Edinburgh providing residential care and day services for adults with learning disabilities and autism. We are part of the wider Camphill movement, which emphasises intentional community living, meaningful work and shared life between people with and without support needs.
Our community brings together over 200 people with our members, staff, vocational co-worker and volunteers across residential homes, supported living services and vibrant day services. We operate craft workshops, horticulture programmes, a pop-up shop and participate in local markets. Our work is underpinned by anthroposophical principles and a deep commitment to human dignity, inclusion and the belief that everyone has a meaningful contribution to make.
Tiphereth is at an exciting point in its development. Following a successful financial recovery and the launch of our Five-Year Strategy, we are investing in our capacity to grow sustainably. This new Director-level role is central to that ambition, leading our efforts to diversify income, build lasting supporter relationships and tell the story of our community to the wider world.
Role’s Primary Objective
The Fundraising (and associated marketing development) Manager is a senior leadership position, reporting directly to the CEO and sitting alongside other senior managers on the Senior Management Team. This is a newly created role with significant scope to shape Tiphereth's external engagement and income generation strategy.
In Year One, you will be hands-on across the full breadth of fundraising and marketing activity, building the infrastructure, strategy and relationships needed for long-term success. From Year Two onwards, you will have the opportunity to recruit and develop a small team covering marketing and communications, community fundraising, and grant and trust applications.
This role requires someone who can operate strategically whilst also delivering at pace. You will need to be equally comfortable presenting to the Board as you are drafting a grant application or stewarding a major donor. Above all, you will need to connect authentically with our ethos and be able to communicate the distinctive value of Camphill community life to diverse audiences.
Key Responsibilities
1. Strategic Leadership
• Develop and implement a comprehensive fundraising and marketing strategy aligned with Tiphereth's Five-Year Plan and organisational values

• Identify, develop and secure new fundraising opportunities to maximise income potential and expand Tiphereth's supporter base
• Provide strategic advice to the CEO and Board on fundraising trends, opportunities and risks
• Build business cases for capital projects and new initiatives requiring external funding
2. Major Gifts and Philanthropy
• Identify, cultivate and steward a portfolio of high-net-worth individuals and family foundations with capacity to make transformative gifts
• Develop compelling cases for support and funding proposals for capital projects and programme development
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with donors, ensuring exceptional stewardship and regular impact reporting
• Support the CEO and trustees in their donor engagement activities, preparing briefings and facilitating introductions
• Maximise tax-efficient giving through Gift Aid and other mechanisms
3. Grants and Trusts
• Research and develop a pipeline of grant-making trusts and foundations aligned with Tiphereth's work
• Write and submit high-quality funding applications, working collaboratively with service managers to develop project proposals
• Maintain accurate records of applications, outcomes and reporting requirements
• Build relationships with programme officers and foundation staff to strengthen future applications
4. Marketing and Communications
• Lead the development and implementation of Tiphereth's marketing and communications strategy
• Oversee brand management, ensuring consistent and compelling messaging across all channels, including timely responses to donors and interested parties
• Develop engaging content including the Annual Impact Report, newsletters, social media and website
• Champion digital fundraising initiatives and enhance supporter journeys to improve engagement and retention
• Raise Tiphereth's profile through media engagement, events and participation in sector networks
5. Community Fundraising and Events
• Develop and grow community fundraising income including individual giving, regular giving and legacy programmes
• Plan and deliver fundraising events and supporter engagement activities that reflect Tiphereth's values
• Support and coordinate third-party fundraising by community supporters
• Explore corporate partnership opportunities aligned with our ethos
6. Team Development and Management
• Build the case for and recruit specialist roles in marketing, community fundraising and grant-writing as capacity grows (from Year Two)
• Lead, manage and develop team members, fostering a high-performing, collaborative culture
• Manage budgets for fundraising and marketing activities, monitoring performance and return on investment
• Provide clear reporting on fundraising performance to the CEO and subsequently to the Board

We're FIRST UK, a EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical knowledge and soft skills to engineer better futures.
It’s an exciting time to join us as we move from startup into scaling mode. We’re backed by some of the world’s leading tech-enabled businesses including Arm, Purposeful Ventures, Smiths Group, Bloomberg, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and many more.
In summer 2026 we’ll publish a new 5-year strategy articulating how we will build more than robots in schools and community groups nationwide, alongside growing our annual income to £2m by 2027.
It’s easy to see why competitions like this really do help students develop the skills they’re going to need for the rest of their lives. Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was at school.
Spencer Kelly, BBC Broadcaster
What we're looking for
A fundraiser, partnerships guru, and consummate relationship builder. Someone who can support the CEO to identify, go after, and convert opportunities which sustain and scale the charity’s impact. Broadly this means more money and greater participation. Through your ability to seek out and support the relationships which matter most you will ensure the charity secures:
- Income generating relationships with trusts, foundations, and philanthropists
- Corporate partnerships fuelling our programmes with funding and volunteers
- Collaborations with organisations supporting outreach and growth
- An ecosystem of proactive trustees, advisors, ambassadors and advocates
Working closely with the CEO you’ll get the charity in front of the right people, having the right conversations which grow investment and participation. Your tenacity will help build and steward a network to achieve our mission better and sooner.
Who this might suit
A people person. You love seeking out and building relationships, then maximising their impact. You might have worked in a charity fundraising position before. You understand what good looks like in terms of brokering strong partnerships – and relish the mix of research, prospecting, proposal development, pitching, and importantly onward stewardship of the relationships we win to ensure we amplify, leverage and retain them.
Whatever your background – the common, transferable skill set is being excellent at relationships. Understanding that it’s not just about the chat, it’s about the follow through. You do what you say you will – and do it well.
The experience you'll have
- Evidence of winning income (e.g corporate partnerships, sponsorship, grants etc)
- Evidence of driving growth (this might be in sales, membership, users, income etc)
- Experience stewarding relationships (partners, funders, trustees, volunteers, stakeholders)
You might also possess
- Passion for STEM, tech for good, inclusion
What you'll get
Responsibility, autonomy, sense of purpose. You’ll be working in a small organisation which is lean, agile and fast-paced. Unimpeded by hierarchy and bureaucracy you’ll have the freedom to experiment, fail fast and crack on. You’ll be presenting a compelling case for support against a validated impact model. Long before pandemics we were working flexibly and remotely – it’s embedded to our culture.
I'm in, what's next?
- Check out the full role profile on our HR platform
- Browse our website and get familiar with our mission
- Answer 3 short screening questions, upload CV and hang tight until Sun 08th Mar
- Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview by Thu 12th Mar

What if your expertise in cash management, forecasting, and banking relationships could be the driving force behind one of the UK's largest charities maintaining the financial stability needed to end the devastation caused by dementia? As Treasury Manager at Alzheimer's Society, you'll ensure we can confidently meet our commitments to people affected by dementia by managing our cash flow, income streams, and reserves effectively.
About the opportunity
As Treasury Manager within our Finance & Assurance directorate, you'll own our Treasury and Accounts Receivable functions, playing a vital role in our financial sustainability. You'll monitor our cash position, forecast cash flow across diverse income streams from online fundraising platforms to direct donations and community collections, and manage banking relationships to ensure we optimise our working capital and invest our reserves wisely.
This isn't a back-office role. You'll be a highly visible partner to budget holders and business partners across the organisation, providing the treasury insights that enable confident financial planning and investment. You'll ensure we have the liquidity needed to support our work as income flows in from our incredible fundraisers, navigating the complexities of restricted and unrestricted funds to safeguard every pound raised and maximise our impact.
Using data and metrics as your tools, you'll drive performance improvements while supporting the development of our Accounts Assistants team. Your ability to balance rigorous treasury controls with collaborative partnership will be essential to success in this role.
This role will focus approximately 80% on Treasury and 20% on Accounts Receivable.
About you:
You're an experienced treasury professional who enjoys using forecasting and data to provide strategic financial insights. You excel at optimising cash positions and working capital, and you can translate complex treasury information into clear, practical guidance for budget holders and business partners. You bring fresh thinking to treasury challenges and understand that strong cash management enables organisations to achieve their goals.
You'll have:
- Proven treasury or cash management experience in a medium to large organisation, including cash flow forecasting, cash positioning, and banking relationship management.
- Effective forecasting and analytical skills with the ability to model scenarios and provide strategic cash insights to support decision-making.
- Experience managing banking relationships, optimising cash deployment, and working with multiple bank accounts and treasury systems.
- Track record in managing end-to-end accounts receivable processes, including invoice generation, reconciliation, and collections.
- Ability to develop and motivate teams using a high challenge, high support approach, particularly those undertaking professional development.
- Good communication and influencing skills, with proven ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders and colleagues across departments.
- Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel, with strong ability to analyse, interpret and present financial data effectively.
- Understanding of financial accounting systems and how they integrate with treasury operations; charity sector experience is beneficial but not essential.
What you'll focus on:
- Managing treasury operations including monitoring daily cash position, forecasting cash flow, and optimising cash deployment across the organisation.
- Owning banking relationships, negotiating terms with financial institutions, and ensuring efficient payment and receipting processes.
- Producing cash flow forecasts and treasury reports that inform executive decision-making and enable strategic investment planning.
- Managing end-to-end accounts receivable processes from invoice generation and account reconciliation to debt recovery and customer service.
- Driving performance through data by owning and reporting on key treasury and AR metrics, using insights to deliver continuous improvement.
- Leading and developing the Accounts Assistants team, creating a culture of high challenge, high support, and professional growth.
- Strengthening controls by proactively identifying treasury risks, process inefficiencies, and implementing effective solutions.
- Working collaboratively across directorates to improve financial practice and ensure robust, efficient operations.
Are you ready to bring strategic treasury expertise to a mission-driven organisation? Can you combine technical cash management precision with collaborative energy to ensure our financial operations enable us to focus on ending the devastation of dementia?

Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity.

Nearly one million people in the UK are living with dementia. How they access support, information and hope increasingly depends on the digital products we build. As Head of Product at Alzheimer's Society, you'll set the strategic vision for the digital services that shape their experience. You'll also lead the multidisciplinary teams that bring those services to life.
Why this role is important:
Digital products aren't just part of our work at Alzheimer's Society, they're central to how we reach people who need us. As Head of Product within our Technology directorate, you'll own the vision and strategy for our digital experiences. From the platforms where people find information in moments of crisis, to the tools that enable our services, campaigns, and fundraising user journeys.
This is a leadership role with real breadth and impact. You'll shape investment decisions across the digital portfolio. You'll set the standards for accessibility and user-centred design, and build the operating models that enable product teams to solve the right problems. But you'll also lead people. A multidisciplinary function spanning product management, delivery management, user-centred design, and matrix leadership of engineering teams. Your role is to create the environment where these disciplines don't just coexist but genuinely collaborate to deliver outcomes that matter.
You'll work at the intersection of strategy and practice. That means setting direction and guarding principles, while staying close enough to product teams to understand the trade-offs they're navigating. It means partnering with senior stakeholders across the organisation, from service delivery to fundraising. It means ensuring that our digital strategy serves the whole Society. And it means championing the voices of people affected by dementia through our Involvement team, ensuring lived experience shapes every product decision.
The digital landscape is changing rapidly, and so are the possibilities for how we support people. You'll balance the discipline of keeping existing products reliable and secure with the curiosity to explore what's emerging. Including AI-enabled services where they can genuinely improve reach or quality of support.
About you
You're an ambitious, values-led digital leader who sees product thinking as a powerful tool for social impact. You excel at developing clear digital visions aligned to organisational objectives. You understand that great products emerge from genuinely collaborative, multidisciplinary teams working together from discovery through to live service improvement. You bring fresh thinking to digital challenges and know that user-centred, outcome-led practice enables organisations to achieve their goals.
You'll have:
- Significant experience leading a multidisciplinary digital function, including product management, delivery management, and user-centred design.
- Proven track record of leading complex digital portfolios using agile, outcome-led and evidence-informed delivery approaches, with demonstrable ability to develop and deliver clear digital strategy aligned to organisational objectives.
- Good understanding of user-centred design and continuous improvement, with experience embedding these practices at organisational scale.
- Significant experience balancing user needs, organisational priorities, operational constraints and technical sustainability, with ability to define meaningful outcomes and success measures.
- Evidenced experience of working in partnership with software engineering, platform and data teams within a matrix-managed environment.
- Good communication and stakeholder management skills, with the proven ability to influence senior leaders and engage non-technical audiences.
- Experience of budget management, resource planning, and working with external suppliers to achieve value for money.
- A champion for diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging, with experience embedding these values in leadership, culture and ways of working, and with a strong understanding of accessibility standards and ethical digital practice.
What you'll focus on:
- Owning and leading the Society-wide digital strategy, defining strategic outcomes, investment priorities and success measures for the overall digital portfolio.
- Leading delivery of strategically aligned digital products that support information, services, campaigning, fundraising and internal operations.
- Establishing and continuously improving a modern product operating model, influencing governance, funding, planning and decision-making processes across the Society.
- Leading, inspiring and developing your multidisciplinary digital function, ensuring digital capability, skills and structures evolve to meet future organisational needs, with clear professional standards across disciplines.
- Building strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, communicating complex concepts clearly to executives, trustees and external partners.
- Championing accessible, inclusive and ethical design for people affected by dementia, working closely with our Involvement team.
- Managing the overall digital budget and strategic supplier relationships, ensuring effective prioritisation, resourcing, transparency and value for money.
- Providing matrix leadership to software engineering teams, working in close partnership with engineering and platform leaders to create conditions for genuinely collaborative teams working from problem discovery through to live service improvement.
We are looking for someone who shares our values of Determination, Compassion, Trusted Expertise, and Better Together. Are you ready to bring strategic digital product leadership to one of the UK's largest health and care charities? Can you combine technical expertise with compassionate, mission-driven leadership to ensure our digital services help end the devastation of dementia?
Important dates
The deadline for applications will be 12:00 PM on Tuesday 24th February 2026.
There will be three stages of interviews that will take place:
- In person at Crutched Friars, Tower Hill, London on W/C 2nd March 2026.
- A 45-minute session with our Involvement Panel taking place via Video Call on W/C 9th March 2026.
- A final 45-minute interview taking place via Video Call on W/C 9th March 2026.
