Your Role’s Purpose
Year 1 of this role will be focused on business model development, income generation and strategic partnerships.

Who We’re Looking For
This role is not just open to traditional fundraisers or partnership managers.

What matters most is your ability to confidently progress a pipeline of opportunities, build partnerships, generate income and deliver results.
We are interested in a wider pool of candidates with 5+ years in the working world, possibly from other start-ups or programme design focus instead of 'trad' fundraising roles'. If you are a high-performer who wants to focus on corporate partnerships, external relations and business success, this role may be right for you—talk to us.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Entrepreneurial and proactive, with a strong interest in business development and income generation

- Highly professional writer and communicator, able to produce strong proposals and pitch deck materials
- Commercially aware, with an ability to spot and shape fundable opportunities
- Excels at working closely with senior stakeholders including the CEO, able to predict needs and are responsive to what gets the best results
- Organised and adaptable, able to own multiple priorities in a small, fast-moving organisation
- Technically capable, making data systems like Salesforce easily integrated into their workflow
- Distinctly motivated and/or experienced in social impact, education, democracy or civic participation
Please note the pay scale of this role is determined by the demonststrable strategic seniority the person brings in managing others and organisational outcomes alongside technical role skills above.
Success in the first six months of this role will look like:
- Immediate management and confidence securing existing income contracts with corporate and funding partners of £200,000+
- Tactical, high-volume stakeholder engagement campaigns to increase sponsorship and new income opportunities
- Leading the development of improved business modelling, pricing structures and income streams that create a more sustainable base
- Operating with professionalism, improving processes and keeping organisational priorities at the forefront
Why join us?

The RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch is seeking to increase its fundraising activity in order to secure the funding neccessary to completely rebuild the York Animal Home. We are looking to bring on an experienced individual to design, launch and lead our capital campaign and raise the remaining funds needed to complete the project.
The Capital Campaign Lead will take overall responsibility for planning, leading and delivering the £5m capital appeal over the next few years.

We are at the point where our current animal facilities do meet our needs and have been working to redevelop the site and build new modern facilities.
We have received planning permission and are in the process of finalising the designs prior to construction beginning this year.
We expect Major donors, high-net worth individuals and corporate partnerships to make up the main elements of the fundraising campaign, so are looking for individuals with a proven track record of raising large sums in these areas.
