Job description

Harris Hill are delighted to be partnering with UWS, an award-winning global education organisation bringing community-led schooling to some of the world’s most remote populations. Following a record-breaking year and the launch of their ambitious 2025–2030 Programmes Strategy, UWS is entering a hugely exciting phase of growth — and they’re now seeking a strategic, relationship-driven Senior Philanthropy Manager to help shape the next chapter.

The Opportunity

As Senior Philanthropy Manager, you will lead and evolve UWS’ high-value giving strategy, driving transformational income and long-term supporter engagement.

This role blends strategic leadership with hands-on major donor fundraising. You will:

  • Lead and deliver the Philanthropy Strategy in line with organisational priorities
  • Personally manage and grow a portfolio generating c. £500k–£1m p.a.
  • Secure six-figure and multi-year gifts
  • Develop compelling, visionary cases for support aligned to UWS’ global education mission
  • Work closely with trustees, senior leaders and global colleagues to unlock new high-value networks
  • Line manage and develop the Events & Philanthropy Manager, ensuring events are strategically aligned cultivation tools

You’ll oversee forecasting, pipeline development, KPIs and budget management — ensuring philanthropy at UWS is both ambitious and operationally robust.

What UWS Are Looking For

UWS are seeking a philanthropy leader who brings:

  • A proven track record of delivering at least £500k+ p.a. within major donor programmes
  • Personal success securing six-figure gifts
  • Experience building and managing strong donor pipelines
  • Confidence working with trustees, senior stakeholders and high-net-worth individuals
  • Strategic planning capability alongside strong delivery focus
  • Line management experience or strong coaching capability

Experience within an international NGO or global development context would be advantageous, as would exposure to high-value events or development boards.

Above all, they are looking for someone who can cultivate transformational relationships and confidently lead a high-value programme through its next phase of growth.


Key Details

  • Location: London (Hybrid – 2 days per week in office)
  • Contract: Permanent
  • Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week
  • Salary: Competitive
  • Reports to: Executive Director of Fundraising & Communications
  • Line management: 1 direct report (Events & Philanthropy Manager)

  • Interviews: w/c 23rd March (1st stage) and w/c 30th March (2nd stage)
