About the role
This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in an ambitious and values-driven climate finance initiative. The Resilient Futures Fund, a new subsidiary of Christian Aid, is pioneering a bold approach to climate philanthropy, one that blends donor giving with impact investment to unlock long-term, scalable solutions for vulnerable communities.
As Senior New Business Development Officer, you will lead the development and implementation of The Resilient Futures Fund's philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with the Head of Fund and colleagues across Christian Aid. Your focus will be on identifying, cultivating, and stewarding a portfolio of high-value donors, ranging from individuals to philanthropic foundations and corporate partners, who are motivated not only by charitable impact, but by the opportunity to contribute to systemic, sustainable change.
This role requires a strong strategic mindset and a deep understanding of the evolving philanthropic landscape, particularly the intersection of traditional giving with social investment, climate finance, and venture philanthropy. You will develop compelling propositions that speak to donors' desire for measurable impact, oversee donor journeys across multiple channels, and support collaborative partnership models, including co-financing and joint ventures, to grow The Resilient Futures Fund's reach and influence.
You'll also work to embed The Resilient Futures Fund into wider Christian Aid fundraising activity, building strong internal relationships and ensuring coherence across donor messaging, reporting, and engagement. This is an opportunity to help shape a next-generation funding model that reimagines what climate philanthropy can achieve.
About you
You are an experienced and strategic fundraiser with a passion for innovation and impact. You have a proven track record of securing significant philanthropic income, particularly from major donors, trusts, and foundations, and you understand how to translate complex programme goals into compelling cases for support that resonate with diverse funders.
You are intellectually curious and comfortable working at the intersection of philanthropy and social investment. You understand the motivations of donors who are looking for more than transactional giving, those seeking scalable, systemic, and lasting change. Whether it's a six-figure major gift or a multi-year partnership, you know how to craft tailored stewardship journeys that inspire trust and long-term commitment.
You bring strong project management skills and can balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day delivery. You are data-informed, impact-driven, and understand how to use evidence and insight to adapt and improve fundraising performance.
You thrive in collaborative environments, building strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders alike. You are excited by the opportunity to contribute to a pioneering climate initiative that sits at the forefront of philanthropic and investment innovation, one that reflects your values and desire to create meaningful, measurable change in the world.
