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.

- 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
