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

Greenpeace UK has published ambitious race representation targets and, through its Anti Racism Plan, is working proactively to achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions.

Location: Based in our London office, E1, with the requirement to travel as needed. We are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy.
Contract: Permanent
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in helping Crisis secure the income needed to end homelessness. Working across a portfolio of new and existing grant funders, the postholder will build strong, strategic relationships that lead to five and six figure gifts and long-term support. It is a role that calls for someone bold in pursuing new opportunities, confident in communicating the complexity of homelessness, and motivated by the chance to turn insight and evidence into funding that makes a real difference. Alongside managing relationships, the postholder will develop compelling proposals and reports of a high standard, ensuring every approach is aligned with Crisis’s long-term goals and grounded in the impact our work can achieve.
The role is also deeply collaborative and equitable in scope. Success will depend on working closely with colleagues across Crisis, including service heads and frontline teams, to identify funding opportunities, gather robust information and shape cases for support that reflect the realities of homelessness and the voices of people with lived experience. The postholder will help create a rewarding and respectful experience for supporters and bring a thoughtful, inclusive approach to relationship management and decision-making. In this way, the role combines income generation with partnership-building, high standards with accountability, and day-to-day fundraising with Crisis’s wider commitment to fairness, co-production and lasting systemic change.
About you

· You thrive on researching and engaging prospects and building tailored, strategic relationships that grow into long-term partnerships.
· You’re a persuasive communicator, able to craft compelling proposals that resonate with funders and trustees.
· You’re able to use data and insight to guide your approach, measure progress, and refine your strategy.
· Above all, you’re motivated by Crisis’ mission and values — committed to equality, inclusion, and the belief that together, we can end homelessness for good.

However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.
We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.
Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.
