Seeking a strong writer with a passion for social change and economic justice international development and fighting inequality to fill a newly created position.  The Institutional Fundraising Manager will help shape a fundraising strategy aligned with PWYP’s global strategy – Vision 2025 – which lays out the roadmap towards a world where everyone benefits from their natural resources.

THE ORGANISATION

Publish What You Pay is the world’s largest network of civil society organisations working to promote transparency, citizen participation and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sectors. We work with communities in more than 40 countries, to ensure that the revenues generated by natural resource exploitation benefit all citizens, rather than a small elite. 

PWYP was established more than fifteen years ago and we have come a long way. From a handful of organisations in 2002, the network has grown to include more than 700 member organisations across the world. We are a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the first global standard for good natural resource governance.  Our advocacy has led to milestones in accountability, such as legislation that requires major extractive companies like BP and Total to publish what they pay to governments for their natural resources. Combined, these successes have led to billions of dollars of extractive revenues to be publicly disclosed, a level of transparency that seemed unachievable just a few years ago.

Our global strategy - Vision 2025 – a people centred agenda for the extractive sector, builds on our success in securing unprecedented levels of transparency from the extractive industry, while placing more emphasis on making sure that transparency leads to broader changes that improve the lives of citizens in resource-rich countries.  It prioritises greater citizen participation in the governance of oil, gas and mineral extraction so that people can exercise their right to take part in decisions that affect them and can hold the powerful to account.  It also aims to connect to international efforts to curb poverty and promote sustainable development, redress inequality and prevent disastrous climate change.
 

PWYP’s annual budget of GBP £3 million is supported by a mix of private foundations and governmental donors, including the Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Luminate, the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DANIDA, and Cordaid. To preserve its independence, PWYP does not accept funding from oil, gas or mining companies. 

We are a small, fun and dynamic team spread across seven countries and we work with some of the most courageous transparency activists in the world. We offer an amazing working environment and the flexibility to work from home as needed with a focus on personal development.

For more information, please visit our website. PWYP members and national coalitions are all autonomous and do their own fundraising. Where opportunities arise, PWYP engages in joint fundraising with members and coalitions, usually for multi-country, regional projects. Further information about PWYP’s joint-fundraising is also available on our website.

THE POSITION

The Fundraising Manager will play a key role in leading proposal conceptualisation and writing to ensure that we capitalize on the new fundraising opportunities presented by the global strategy. In addition, she/he will help us to steward our existing donor relationships through report writing and the development of systems to ensure that we meet donor accountability requirements effectively (e.g. record keeping and tracking systems).

The Fundraising Manager will be charged with helping both the PWYP Secretariat and national PWYP coalitions and members to become better resourced, including through sharing best practice from which to build a dependable, sustainable fundraising operation.

The Fundraising Manager will be a strong conceptual and strategic thinker and an excellent writer who will work closely with colleagues at PWYP to develop accurate, compelling and persuasive funding applications and reports for all areas of PWYP’s work. The ideal candidate will be committed to transparency, accountability and civic participation, and excel in private foundation fundraising, fundraising best practices, and team-building.  A strong plus will be a familiarity with and/or exposure to government grants (e.g. bilaterals such as DFID, SIDA and multilaterals such as the World Bank or the European Union).

The location of the role is in London where the Executive Director is based. The Fundraising Manager will need to build relationships with, and be in regular contact with, staff including in Senegal, Cameroon, Lebanon, Uganda and Turkey.

Founded in 1903, Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is the world’s longest established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation. Today FFI is active in over 40 countries.

This is a truly exciting time to be joining FFI’s fundraising team. Over the past few years we have been honing our fundraising and have created what we believe to be an industry-leading programme, built on developing and nurturing genuine long-term relationships with the people who support our conservation work. In order to meet growing environmental challenges, we have developed an ambitious conservation strategy to 2023. With this in mind, we are looking for an outstanding individual with a track record of successfully leading and supporting sustainable growth in income. Specifically, this opportunity is to lead our global Trusts & Foundations fundraising work.

The Trusts & Foundations team is an ambitious and high performing team which has supported growth in income from trusts and foundations of 20% year on year for 5 years in a row. In 2020 FFI aims to raise circa £25 million of which more than half will come from trusts and foundations. Our success to date is far reaching with current relationships spanning multiple countries in Europe as well as the USA and Australia. Now we have set our sights on expansion; following years of strategic development FFI is in the perfect position to take its fundraising to the next level with new opportunities across Europe and in the USA.

We are seeking a proven, results-driven leader to drive forward our successful team. Committed to conservation and the environment, you will use your relationship management skills to strengthen existing funding relationships as well as forge new successful opportunities to grow income for FFI. Using your well-honed leadership and influencing skills and knowledge of good project development and delivery, you will work directly with FFI’s conservation programme teams to drive forward the organisational capacity for fundraising and ensuring that there is an institutional step change in FFI’s ability to secure significant grants from Trusts & Foundations in contribution to our ambitious strategy. A confident ambassador and networker, you may be required to travel both within the UK and internationally to cultivate relationships with current and prospective donors.

You will work with your team to share knowledge, learning and resources across FFI and with FFI’s partners across the world to build skills in how to successfully package compelling proposals for external audiences, and best practice in grant management and donor stewardship.

You will have a proven track record in securing six figure gifts and meeting financial targets as well as successfully driving forward a team.  Experience in securing funds from the USA, mainland Europe and other international foundations is desirable, as is experience of working with programme staff internationally.

In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within an exciting, friendly and lively team within an international, impactful and ground-breaking organisation, at the forefront of global conservation.  In addition, FFI offers a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance and life insurance.

Our offices are located in The David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, just a few minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants.

The closing date for applications is Friday, 7 February 2020.
