Cosmic supports the work of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, and Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, Hammersmith. We fund vital equipment, staff training, research, and support services for patients and their families.

Join our dedicated team as Senior Fundraising Manager during this exciting period of growth and opportunity for Cosmic. Cosmic is expanding both our service delivery and team, offering a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of this much-loved organisation.

This pivotal role will lead the strategic direction for Cosmic’s community and challenge event fundraising. You will be responsible for growing income through a portfolio of sports and challenge events, treks, community fundraising activities, supporter-led initiatives, campaigns, appeals, legacy, in memory and mass participation products.

You will work directly with the CEO and line-manage the Senior Fundraising Executive to deliver and expand our fundraising portfolio. This includes reviewing and improving existing activities, identifying new opportunities, and creating engaging supporter journeys to maximise fundraising efforts.

As a key leader, you will set and manage significant budgets, oversee operational delivery, and ensure exceptional stewardship of supporters. You’ll proactively monitor trends, conduct competitor analysis, and trial new products and platforms to keep Cosmic’s fundraising portfolio competitive and appealing to supporters.

We’re looking for someone with significant fundraising leadership and strategic experience, a proven track record in delivering successful community and challenge event programmes, and a strong understanding of budget management and fundraising best practices.

This is a unique opportunity to join a growing charity and play a critical role in delivering our three-year growth strategy, ensuring that Cosmic continues to provide life-changing support for children, babies, and their families.
