Job description
Over the past decade, our client has grown significantly with over £17m income targeted for 2026/2027 and a portfolio that reflects both scale and innovation. Founded in 2007 by King Charles III alongside a group of British Asian entrepreneurs and philanthropists, their ambition was to create a different kind of organisation, one that could combine entrepreneurial thinking, private sector partnerships and innovative finance to address poverty, inequality and injustice in South Asia.
They will now hire a new Executive Director, Fundraising and Communications, and Prospectus is leading the search.
