Job description

About this role:

We are seeking a motivated and experienced professional to lead our fundraising and partnership development activities, supporting the diversification and growth of income across both established and emerging streams.

  • Work cross-team to create strong proposals, using member and partner insights to identify funding needs and opportunities, and develop compelling cases for support and budgets.
  • Develop joint grant applications by collaborating with colleagues, members and external partners to create bids aligned with our strategic aims and which recognise our current strengths, resources and prioritie
  • Support strategic funding development, working closely with the senior leadership team to shape our approach and deliver against funding objectives and ensure it is understood by colleagues.
  • Champion a positive fundraising culture and ethos, providing expertise and contributing member support, training, and events across the community rail movement.
  • Contribute to wider organisational activity, including using major events and campaigns, such as the Community Rail Awards, to advance fundraising efforts.
  • Develop and maintain effective fundraising systems, including funder reporting, review processes, and tracking KPIs to monitor progress and impact.

Skills, competencies and experience

  1. Proven skills and experience in third sector fundraising, including corporate fundraising, grant management and funder reporting, with a broad understanding of the full fundraising mix and ability to spot new opportunities.
  2. A demonstrable proactive approach to relationship building, with experience engaging and stewarding funders to create long-term mutually beneficial partnerships.
  3. Strong proposal/grant application and report writing skills, able to tailor communication for different audiences and stakeholders to maximise clarity, relevance and impact.
  4. Excellent verbal and written communication, with the ability to gather insight and inspire engagement both internally and externally.
  5. Strong organisational and time management skills, able to balance multiple and competing  priorities and meet deadlines effectively. 
  6. Experience of, or demonstrable understanding of, membership organisations, including the ability to balance member needs with our organisational objectives.
  7. Appreciation of and commitment to community development, empowerment and sustainability, and the value of community engagement in relation to transport.
  8. Solid understanding of KPIs, targets, budgeting, and risk management, with the ability to plan, track and evaluate performance effectively.
