As a proud Royal Charter charity operating through the UK we work to legally protect thousands of spaces forever ensuring that millions of people have access to a green space close to home.

Job Description

Relationship Fundraising Manager

Reports to: Director Income Generation and Communications

Salary: Circa £50,000

Role Overview

This is the ideal role for someone who is genuinely people‑focused, thrives on building meaningful relationships, and takes pride in doing what they say they’ll do — and doing it brilliantly. You’ll inspire potential supporters and surprise and delight funders through thoughtful stewardship, timely communication, and personalised engagement that stands out.

You’ll work as part of the Income Generation Team to build engaging relationships with potential funders, helping to grow our income and deepen the connections that fuel our mission. Working closely with colleagues across our small, collaborative team, you’ll inspire supporters with compelling stories about our work, connect their passions with our purpose, and deliver exceptional experiences that grow and strengthen long‑term support.

Responsibilities include:

Relationship Management

  • Build and steward relationships with major Trusts, Foundations, Major Donors, and high‑value volunteers.
  • Maintain strong rapport so key contacts feel valued, informed, and inspired.
  • Represent the charity as a warm, credible ambassador.
  • Provide exceptional stewardship that surprises, delights, and strengthens funder connection.
  • Deliver high‑quality updates, reports, and personalised communications.
  • Organise meetings, calls, visits, and events that deepen engagement and show impact

Income Generation and Proposal Development

  • Write tailored, compelling applications to strategic Trusts and Foundations.
  • Deliver inspiring and engaging content to potential Major Donors, working with the wider senior leadership team as appropriate. 
  • Work with teams across the charity to gather stories, data, and insights that strengthen cases for support.

Internal Collaboration and Cross‑Team Working

  • Partner closely with colleagues — everyone plays a role in income generation in a small team.
  • Share pipeline updates, opportunities, and challenges transparently.
  • Act as an internal advocate for potential funders, ensuring colleagues understand expectations and commitments.

Data, Systems & Compliance

  • Keep accurate, up‑to‑date records of all interactions, applications, and activities in the charity’s Customer Relationship Management system (Donorfy).
  • Ensure all fundraising activity complies with data protection laws and fundraising standards.
  • Track pipelines, deadlines, and reporting requirements to support effective planning and forecasting

Qualifications

  • Experience working with high‑net‑worth clients, building strong relationships and networks.
  • Clear understanding of commercial vs. philanthropic giving, with the ability to tailor conversations to donor motivations.
  • Experience writing bids, proposals, or tailored funding submissions.
  • Natural relationship‑builder — warm, confident, and personable.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience or clear aptitude in fundraising, partnerships, donor relations, or account management.
  • Highly organised, reliable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
  • Curious, proactive, and quick to follow up.
  • Passionate about the charity’s mission and impact‑driven.
  • Collaborative team player who enhances visibility and understanding of the charity’s work.
  • Confident using CRM or database systems to keep accurate records

Additional information

  • 25 days annual leave (plus one additional day per year of service, up to five years). 
  • Discretionary leave between Christmas and New Year. 
  • Two employee volunteer days per year. 
  • 5% employer pension contribution. 
  • Interest-free season ticket loan.
