Location: Hybrid (with minimum 2 day per week in London office)
Who we are
At Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF), our mission is clear and urgent: to find a cure for follicular lymphoma and find it fast. We focus on catalytic, system-shaping interventions that others will not: funding neglected science, orchestrating breakthrough collaborations, and shaping priorities to deliver real patient outcomes.
Our strategy is bold and disruptive: three “bold plays,” two “pathway priorities,” and one “turbocharger” designed to unlock progress across the field.
About the role
Fundraising is at the core of enabling our mission, and the Philanthropy Lead will be central to our success by dramatically transforming philanthropy giving in the UK and Europe.
You’ll hold a personal portfolio of prospects and donors and will be directly accountable for securing major gifts. Success will come from building long-term partnerships with philanthropists, inspiring them with the urgency of FLF’s mission, and providing them with vehicles through which their giving can have a transformational impact.
You’ll lead, design and deliver bespoke cultivation and stewardship journeys that engage donors not only with the science, but also with the patients and the system change their gifts make possible, making every donor feel they are a partner in FLF’s mission.
You will leverage the networks, expertise and visibility of FLF’s leadership, scientists and communications team, aligning philanthropy with FLF’s bold plays and patient impact story, ensuring every opportunity is maximised.
Who we are looking for
We seek an outstanding philanthropy fundraiser with the skills, credibility, and drive to deliver transformational philanthropy in the UK and Europe and with a proven track record of cultivating, soliciting, and stewarding major donors and family philanthropists into making six and seven-figure multi-year gifts.
You’ll be a highly skilled and strategic philanthropy expert, adept in co-creating funding opportunities and crafting unique and inspiring propositions which align with the organisational strategy. You’ll thrive by cultivating deep trust with internal and external stakeholders, inspiring investment with gravitas and credibility and an ability to engage with complex scientific and data-driven research and create and deliver compelling donor narratives.
If the opportunity to use your fundraising skills to help find a cure for Follicular Lymphoma and leave a lasting legacy in global health outcomes excites you, then get in touch with us today for an informal chat about the role.
