Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Their vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water, and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.
Greenpeace UK’s mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way. Their three-year plan outlines how Greenpeace UK (GPUK) is going to play a vital role in getting there.
The Key Relationships programme sits at the heart of Greenpeace UK’s fundraising, securing the philanthropic investment that powers its campaigning work. The team raises around £15–16 million annually from major donors, trusts and foundations, and legacies, contributing significantly to the organisation’s wider fundraising income of approximately £37 million.
We are now seeking a Deputy Head of Major Gifts to play a pivotal role within this high-performing and evolving team. This is a newly created position, designed to increase capacity and support ambitious income growth, with significant scope for the successful candidate to shape and define the role.
Blending trusts and foundations with high-net-worth individual fundraising, this role will focus on building and stewarding a mixed portfolio of donors while strengthening Greenpeace UK’s climate philanthropy. It is a highly donor-facing position, suited to someone who thrives on relationship building and is motivated by the opportunity to drive meaningful income in support of urgent environmental change.
This is an exciting moment to join Greenpeace UK. Following a period of organisational change, this is a newly created role which will enable Greenpeace UK to meet ambitious growth in income and unlock opportunities to grow funding for climate campaigns in particular.
As Deputy Head of Major Gifts, you will:
- Manage a portfolio of major donors, trusts, and foundations giving £100,000+, cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding long-term partnerships
- Personally secure six- and seven-figure gifts in support of Greenpeace UK’s strategic priorities
- Play a key role in strengthening Greenpeace UK’s climate philanthropy
- Develop and deliver compelling funding propositions aligned with Greenpeace’s strategic priorities
- Build and deepen relationships with key funders and prospects, increasing external engagement and visibility
- Contribute to prospecting strategy, identifying and progressing new opportunities across both T&F and HNWI audience
- Work collaboratively across fundraising, campaigns and communications to deliver integrated, high-impact fundraising approaches
- Act as a senior member of the team, contributing to planning, strategy and a strong, collaborative team culture
This role would suit a relationship-led fundraiser ready to step into a broader, more strategic position, or an experienced manager looking to deepen their impact across major gifts. You will thrive in a role with significant autonomy, confident operating in a fast-evolving environment and shaping both your own portfolio and the wider programme.
Essential skills and experience:
- A strong track record in high-value fundraising, across trusts & foundations (including family foundations) AND major donors
- The ability to work across a blended T&F and HNWI model, regardless of your core specialism
- Personally securing six-figure gifts from T&Fs and major donors
- Experience managing a portfolio of donors and funders within a complex, values-driven, or global organisation
- Proven success engaging senior stakeholders, including Board members, and philanthropic networks
- A proactive, self-starting approach, with the ability to shape a new role and drive activity forward
- Effective collaborator, able to work seamlessly across fundraising, campaigns, and international teams
- A commitment to Greenpeace’s mission, values and independence
Desirable:
- Experience of securing 7-figure gifts from trusts & foundations and/or major donors
- Experience in capital campaign fundraising and cross-market collaboration
- Experience of climate or environmental philanthropy

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as the Data Governance Manager.
The Data Governance Lead ensures UNICEF UK maximises the value of its supporter data by setting, maintaining, and embedding robust data governance standards across the organisation.

As the organisation’s primary governance specialist during the EML cover period, the postholder provides expert guidance, documentation, and oversight to ensure all supporter‑data processing is compliant, well‑controlled, and clearly understood across teams.
The role requires strong experience working with complex supporter‑data environments, including expertise in data governance frameworks, and documentation of processing activities such as RoPA. Candidates should bring deep knowledge of data‑protection principles, soft‑opt‑in rules, and data‑flow or process‑mapping, alongside the ability to translate complex governance requirements into clear, practical processes. Success in the role also depends on excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams to drive organisational change.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, disabled candidates, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at UNICEF UK.

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
