Job description
Are you able to secure new opportunities, build lasting relationships with prospective donors and secure major gifts from philanthropic individuals? Do you want to grow our prospect pipeline, build connections and contribute towards delivering meaningful impact on the lives of people affected by dementia?

About the role
We are recruiting for a Philanthropy Manager (Major Donors) to join on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week on a permanent contract.

This is a home-based role, though you will be required to frequently travel to attend donor meetings and some team-based meetings and training (travel expenses will be covered by the Society). You must reside in the UK, have the correct right to work documents to work in the UK and able to reliably travel to London on a regular basis.

This is a hugely exciting time to work for the UK’s leading dementia charity. The Major Donor team is growing fast, doubling their income target last year to fund even more critical dementia support services and research. As Philanthropy Manager you will help us to reach our goal of securing £5+ million a year from Major Donors by 2027.

At the heart of our ambition is forging powerful partnerships with philanthropic supporters across all communities and regions. As part of our team, you’ll help unlock funding for a pipeline of groundbreaking research and transformational projects that are set to change lives. From pioneering clinical trials and cutting-edge scientific discoveries to tackling health inequalities and delivering vital, on-the-ground support for people affected by dementia—our work is bold, far-reaching, and deeply needed. This is a unique opportunity to be part of something truly impactful, helping to grow our reach and deepen our relationships with donors who share our vision for a better future.

In this role, you will work with the Major Donor Lead to forge new relationships, grow our prospect pipeline and build connections with sector specialists (such as wealth managers). This role will give you the chance to deliver meaningful impact on the lives of people affected by dementia.

Interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd February.

About you
Joining us, you will have a proven record of securing major gifts from philanthropic individuals. You will have an entrepreneurial approach and be able to demonstrate how you have secured new opportunities and built lasting relationships and long-term income.
  
You will be a confident and engaging communicator, adept at collaborating with stakeholders internally and externally. You must understand the motivations of social impact investing for supporters and be curious and highly motivated about ending the devastation caused by dementia.

This role provides a great opportunity for an established fundraiser to grow our pipeline, an area that we know has huge potential for growth. You will get the opportunity to work on a variety of interesting and vital programmes of work that provide help and hope for everyone affected by dementia.

What you’ll focus on:

- Forging close relationships with philanthropists.
- Managing a portfolio of donors, to provide our supporters with best in sector stewardship.
- Building networks with philanthropic ‘intermediaries’, such as private wealth managers and family offices.
-  Cross-team working with our Insurance United Against Dementia and Sport United Against Dementia development boards, to grow our philanthropic networks.

About Alzheimer's Society - who are we and what’s our mission?
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground-breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.  

Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as part of a minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.     

Our hiring process
We want you to bring your whole self to the process. Applications are anonymised until interview stage, and we’re happy to support any adjustments. Share your feedback via our candidate survey when applying to help us improve. We may close early if we receive high interest (with 48 hours’ notice). Some roles may require a DBS check as part of our safer recruitment commitment. Thinking about using AI during the recruitment process? we know this can be helpful in many ways but remember to include your personal and authentic self too. Your voice and experience are what really set you apart. 

Giving back to you
At Alzheimer’s Society, we value our people and take a total reward approach to pay and benefits. You’ll enjoy a generous double-matched pension scheme, 27 days’ annual leave (plus bank holidays and wellbeing days), and access to a free Health Shield Cash Plan, 24/7 EAP, Thrive mental wellbeing support, and virtual GP services. Our Society Plus platform offers exclusive discounts, wellbeing resources, and recognition schemes, while our flexible working, family-friendly policies, and life assurance provide peace of mind and work/life balance. We also offer a free Will-writing service and long service awards to recognise your ongoing commitment.
