UCCF is at a significant and exciting moment. Eighteen months into Matt's leadership as CEO, we are clearer than ever about our mission: Making disciples of Jesus Christ in the student world. We are also clearer about the strategic priorities that will enable that mission to bear fruit in the years ahead: Forming CU leaders, Resourcing CU students, and growing the gospel partnerships that make this ministry possible.
Advertised as Head of Fundraising, this is much more than a fundraising post. Internally, it is the senior leadership role for UCCF’s Partnerships Team and is referred to as the Head of Partnerships. That language is deliberate. We do not want to think of fundraising as a merely transactional activity, but as a relational, prayerful and theological expression of gospel partnership.
Each year hundreds of churches and trusts and thousands of individuals join with us in the work God is doing among students: praying, giving, advocating, encouraging and sharing in the joy of gospel fruitfulness.
The person appointed will help lead UCCF into this next chapter will shape how we tell the story of student mission; how we invite others to partner with us; how we steward relationships well, building sustainable prayerful and financial support for long-term ministry.
You will lead and build a committed team, work closely with senior leaders and bring strategic clarity, relational warmth, theological conviction and ambitious confidence to one of UCCF’s most important areas of work.
If you are a senior fundraiser, marketing or partnerships leader who loves the gospel, understands evangelical culture, and wants to help a national movement grow deeper, stronger and more fruitful partnerships as together we read the >2.5 million students in Britian then we’d love to hear from you. This is an opportunity to build, to lead, to innovate and to serve so that more together we might play our part in making disciples of Jesus Christ in Britain.
The key details
- Salary: £43,781 - £51,486 (depending on experience)
- Hours: Full-time of 37.5 hours per week, or part-time considered (minimum of 0.8FTE)
- Holiday: 30 days holiday per year, plus 8 public holidays
- Location: Hybrid working from our Oxford office
- Interview date: Tuesday 28 July 2026, in Oxford
- Start date: As soon as possible, open to negotiation for the right candidate

About FILE
The Foundation for International Law for the Environment (FILE) is a not-for-profit philanthropic organisation working to accelerate legal action on climate change.
Through grant-making and in-house legal expertise, we empower our partners to deliver strategic, innovative legal interventions and we support lawyers in their own countries to bring their own cases.
Legal action can unlock the systemic changes in finance, policy and social systems needed to protect all of us from climate change. The power of the law is both direct (changing policy and practice) and indirect (signalling the wider shifts taking place across these systems).
FILE is a ‘regrantor’ - this means we do not bring legal action in our own name. We receive grants from our philanthropic donors and make onwards grants to partners who align with FILE’s charitable aims and purposes. We do not seek to make any profit from our activities either in a relevant financial year or in the longer term.
The Role
We are looking for an inspiring and strategic interim leader to join FILE during a period of organisational transition, as we shape our strategy for the next three years and review our long-term leadership structure.
This is a strictly interim appointment, created to provide visible senior leadership across our Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships functions while FILE undertakes a wider review of its long-term organisational design and permanent leadership arrangements.
As Interim Director of Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships, you will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, partnering closely with the Executive Director, Supervisory Board, and senior leaders to strengthen the connection between our fundraising, donor engagement and grantmaking activities. You will help build an integrated approach across teams, ensure our resources are deployed to maximise impact and long-term sustainability, and support the transition to a new permanent leadership structure.
This is an opportunity for someone who combines strong relationship-building and leadership skills with a deep understanding of philanthropy, partnerships and systems change, and who is excited by the chance to help shape FILE's future direction at an important moment in our growth.
The role spans five core areas: strategic leadership, team development and operational excellence, grantmaking strategy and portfolio oversight, strategic fundraising and partnership development, and external engagement and ecosystem stewardship.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership (20%)
As an interim Senior Leadership Team member during a period of change, you will support the development and delivery of FILE's Strategic Plan, contributing to collective SLT decision-making and accountability. You will advise the Executive Director, SLT and Board on grantmaking, philanthropic partnerships, ecosystem trends and strategic growth opportunities, and lead strategic planning and scenario analysis on funding and grantmaking priorities together with the Interim Finance Director.
Leadership, Team Development and Operational Excellence (25%)
You will provide integrated leadership across the Grants and Philanthropic Partnerships functions, acting as their ambassador within the SLT and ensuring their perspectives are visible in senior decision-making. This includes building leadership capability and succession across both teams, ensuring effective governance, performance and accountability frameworks are in place, and fostering a coherent approach to impact, relationship management and organisational learning across the two functions.
Grantmaking Strategy, Risk and Portfolio Oversight (20%)
You will provide strategic oversight of FILE's grantmaking approach, portfolio risk, due diligence and resource allocation, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and the evolving needs of the climate legal ecosystem. You will champion grant process improvements and innovative grantmaking approaches, embed JEDI principles throughout grantmaking policies and decision-making, and ensure robust oversight of portfolio performance, impact and learning.
Strategic Fundraising and Partnership Development (20%)
You will lead FILE's Philanthropic Partnerships function, co-developing and delivering a long-term fundraising strategy aligned to FILE's priorities and growth ambitions. This includes overseeing funding diversification, major donor engagement, income pipelines and fundraising performance, engaging the Board on partnership opportunities, and fostering an organisation-wide culture of relationship stewardship and resource mobilisation.
External Engagement, Influence and Ecosystem Stewardship (15%)
You will represent FILE at the most senior levels with donors, partners and sector stakeholders, positioning the organisation as a trusted voice within the climate philanthropy and climate justice ecosystem.
