Lead a trusted community development charity and bring partners and businesses together to deliver long-term environmental, social and economic benefits across West Wales.

Applications close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 16th June.

Location: Pembrokeshire (office-based, with travel across West Wales)

Salary:  £60,000 - £65,000

Who we are

PLANED is a long-established community development charity that now works across Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire. For decades, we have supported communities to improve their quality of life by harnessing local potential, strengthening social infrastructure and helping people turn ideas into sustainable action.

Our work, regionally, brings together communities, public services, third sector partners and local businesses to deliver long-term environmental, social and economic benefit across West Wales.

A defining feature of PLANED is our asset-based approach. We own and manage a growing portfolio of buildings and assets, including our home site, the Old School in Pembrokeshire, which combines our office and conferencing space, with an additional range of tenanted spaces for local businesses.

We also lead the management of the Carmarthenshire Living Well Centre, a multi-use community facility hosting health, well-being, advice and support services. The Living Well Centre brings together a wide range of charities and statutory partners under one roof, creating a genuinely collaborative, free-to-access, local hub supporting 700 clients per month, which is increasingly seen as a model of best practice.

Most of PLANED’s work is delivered through multiple live projects funded by a mix of Welsh Government, NHS, National Lottery, National Grid, BT and other sources. We have a healthy financial position, but much of this funding is short to medium term, requiring continuous bid writing, relationship management and adaptation. The CEO role is therefore both externally facing and highly hands-on.

About the role

We are seeking a CEO to lead our next exciting chapter. This will include developing a new and updated organisational strategy, continuing to secure sustainable funding, overseeing project delivery and ensuring the organisation remains financially resilient while continuing to grow its impact and influence.

The organisation has a strong, inclusive and supportive culture that is bilingual. The team is community-rooted, collaborative and delivery-focused, with a clear ethos of shared responsibility and mutual support. We have a team of around 18 people, the majority of whom are project funded, supported by a small core team, including the CEO.

The role requires on-site presence; given our reach across West Wales, there is also regular travel required.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone who will be comfortable in a village hall as they are in a meeting with national and local politicians, senior civil servants, charity or business leaders. You will be confident working across rural and coastal communities, and able to build trust quickly and authentically.

Our CEO leads a significant part of our fundraising activities, and experience in securing income and developing sustainable funding models will be important.

We are open to leaders who might be seeking their first CEO role, and are open to considering what support we can put in place to help a new CEO thrive.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 16th June.

For further information about the role and to register your interest, please visit the Peridot Partners page and contact our advising consultants:. 

We're looking for an exceptional Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager to work in the Fundraising Unit for a passionate and growing organisation.

Proposed salary: £65,000 - £75,000 depending on experience plus a generous benefits package.

Location: Flexible location within the UK, with the expectation of attending our central London office on Mondays.

Reports to: Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Lead.

Deadline: We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis, with a deadline of 9am, Monday 22nd June 2026.

The Centre for Long-Term Resilience is looking for a full-time Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager with knowledge of CLTR's areas of policy focus (AI safety and biosecurity) and with strong fluency in the conventions, expectations, and writing styles of philanthropic funders focused on extreme risks.

The Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager will play a central role in CLTR’s Fundraising Unit, holding day-to-day responsibility for a portfolio of significant funder partnerships and prospects, and supporting the organisation's long-term fundraising strategy. This is a hands-on role requiring excellent relationship management and project management skills, outstanding written communication skills, and the ability to work effectively across teams in a fast-paced environment. 

The role works closely with CLTR's policy unit leads, who are responsible for accuracy of programme content in fundraising materials and, where needed, providing direction on content and structure based on their own knowledge of specific donor preferences. 

What You'll Do

• Hold day-to-day responsibility for a portfolio of funder relationships, maintaining an up-to-date picture of each funder's priorities, renewal timelines, and grant spend down for discussion with CLTR’s Strategic Partnerships and Philanthropy Lead, CEO and policy unit leads.

• Project manage the delivery of donor-facing materials, including complex proposals, reports, and updates. This involves working in close partnership with policy units to agree on a structure, gathering relevant content, ensuring the framing of policy work is reflected appropriately (and contributing to this framing through donor-specific intelligence and relationship insight), coordinating with external contractors for strategic writing support, and enabling policy unit involvement throughout this process. 

• Coordinate with our finance team on proposal budgets for major funding bids, ensuring asks are financially robust and aligned with organisational planning.

• Track and communicate proposal and reporting timelines, ensuring clarity around deadlines and required inputs.

• Conduct research on donors and prospects and help to build a pipeline of donors interested in funding work in the extreme risks space, working with senior stakeholders to identify relationship entry points and brief policy units to prepare for meetings.

• Oversee due diligence for your caseload, coordinating with external contractors as needed.

• Work with senior colleagues, including policy unit leads, to engage funders on the organisation's work and coordinate communications when navigating multi-stakeholder relationships.

• Support effective grant management and compliance in coordination with the Operations Unit.

• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records in CLTR's CRM system. 

• Suggest areas for process and systems improvement.

• Actively feed into income forecast projections, monitor progress against forecast, document changes and risks.

• Stay abreast of developments in the extreme risks funding landscape, feeding relevant intelligence into strategic planning.

• Attend relevant events and conferences to represent CLTR, expand our network and raise the profile of the organisation.

What You'll Bring

Essential

• Exceptional project management skills, highly organised and able to manage multiple deadlines across a complex portfolio.

• Strong knowledge of CLTR's areas of policy focus, particularly AI safety and biosecurity.

• Written fluency in theory of change articulation, prioritisation frameworks, explicit reasoning about cost-effectiveness and counterfactual impact, and calibrated communication of uncertainty

• Strong familiarity with extreme risk philanthropy, including its key funders and the norms and expectations of this funding ecosystem.

• Demonstrable experience of managing senior stakeholder relationships.

• Excellent proposal and report writing and editing skills, with the ability to translate complex policy content into clear and compelling donor-facing materials.

• Confidence working with financial information, including grant budgets and financial reports.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with confidence working alongside senior internal and external stakeholders and confidence to “manage upwards”.

• Strong listening and relational intelligence - able to pick up on what funders care about from calls, meetings and informal interactions, and translate this into clear, actionable input to inform proposal development and stewardship strategy.

• A collaborative, low-ego approach, with the ability to build strong relationships across a small, busy team.

• A calm and solution-focused approach under pressure, with flexibility and agility when priorities shift.

• Ability to handle highly sensitive information discreetly and professionally. 

Desirable

• Experience of managing high-net-worth donor relationships.

• Experience of working in a policy, research, or advocacy context.

• Familiarity with CRM systems such as Copper or similar.

• Strong ability to use frontier AI tools to enhance the efficiency and quality of your work.

• Experience of using Asana or similar project management tools.

• Experience of managing contractors or freelancers.
