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.

Their recently established Events & Operations hub brings together donor-facing events and the operational systems and processes that underpin high-value fundraising, creating a cohesive function that supports outstanding supporter experiences and sustainable income growth.

We are looking for an organised and proactive Events & Operations Officer to play a key role within this function and deliver the experiences, systems and insight that support Greenpeace UK’s Major Donor, Trusts & Foundations and Legacy fundraising programmes.

You could be coordinating major donor networking events, organising behind-the-scenes briefings with campaigners, delivering legacy stewardship events, supporting unique supporter experiences, or helping to bring prospects together through creative events and workshops.

Alongside event delivery, you will play an equally important role in the operational side of the team. From CRM reporting and data management to process improvement and cross-organisational projects, you will help create the systems and infrastructure that enable fundraisers to spend more time building relationships and securing income.

This role will suit someone who enjoys variety, loves making complex projects run smoothly, and takes genuine satisfaction from both delivering exceptional experiences and improving the processes behind them.

As Events & Operations Officer, you will:

• Lead the delivery of many of Greenpeace UK’s high-value cultivation and stewardship events, taking ownership of planning, logistics, supplier management and on-the-day delivery
• Support a diverse programme of donor events, including networking events, campaign briefings, webinars, roundtables and supporter experiences that bring donors closer to Greenpeace’s work
• Support the delivery of flagship events led by the Events & Operations Manager, helping to create exceptional experiences for major donors, legacy supporters and prospects
• Work across the Key Relationships team to ensure events are embedded within supporter journeys and contribute to engagement, stewardship and income growth
• Design and maintain CRM reports and dashboards, providing fundraisers with the insights they need to manage portfolios, track pipelines and forecast income
• Maintain accurate and compliant CRM records, supporting data integrity, GDPR compliance and effective reporting
• Identify and implement process improvements that help fundraisers spend more time building relationships and less time on administration
• Act as a key operational link with colleagues across Data & Insight, Finance and other teams, helping to improve systems, processes and ways of working
• Support team coordination, planning and cross-organisational projects while contributing to the continued development of the Events & Operations hub

Essential skills and experience:

• Proven success delivering high-value fundraising events, with responsibility for planning, logistics and execution
• Strong experience using CRM databases such as Salesforce, Raiser’s Edge or similar platforms for data entry, reporting, and record maintenance
• Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high standards
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, coordinate complex logistics and meet deadlines
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with colleagues, suppliers and supporters
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with the confidence to identify inefficiencies, improve processes and work effectively across teams
• Clear evidence of working in a values-driven way, demonstrating commitment to collaboration, inclusion, continuous learning and role-modelling organisational values consistent with Greenpeace UK

Desirable, but not essential:

• Experience of both major donor and legacy fundraising events
• Experience contributing to process improvement, systems development or fundraising operations projects

· Experience developing and delivering successful policy initiatives that have shifted attitudes, behaviour or legislation

· Strong leadership skills, including experience managing teams across time zones and working in co-management or consortium structures

· A genuine commitment to feminist principles, equity, diversity and inclusion, and to centring the voices of women's rights organisations in advocacy work

Experience working on violence against women and girls and familiarity with FCDO-funded programmes, are highly desirable.

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to lead advocacy on two of the most important fronts in international development. You will co-lead the External Engagement and Influencing workstream of What Works to Prevent Violence – Impact at Scale (What Works II), a FCDO-funded programme working to prevent and eliminate violence against women and girls globally. Alongside this, you will drive CIUK's own influencing work on gender equality, shaping UK Government policy and building CIUK's reputation as a thought leader on gender justice.
