Development Phase: Visitor Destination Development Manager

Fixed Term to November 2027

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations and seeks to appoint a Visitor Destination Development Manager to transform our flagship nature reserves into pioneering places that inspire hope, drive action for nature and open their doors to everyone. 

This is a rare opportunity to project manage a National Heritage Lottery funded development programme at a pivotal moment. You'll oversee specialist consultants across visitor experience, accessibility, commercial development and community stewardship; coordinate our project Steering Group and ensure the programme is rigorously evaluated and reported to our funder. 

But this role is about more than process. You'll bring a wealth of experience and the confidence to drive real change – taking colleagues on the journey with you, building consensus and laying the groundwork for what comes next. Critically, you'll make sure everything we learn shapes the next chapter of development for our Flagship Nature Reserves.

You'll bring proven experience of managing complex, multi-strand programmes, ideally within the heritage, conservation or visitor destination sector, along with a track record of commissioning and managing external consultants to deliver high-quality outcomes. Strong stakeholder management skills are essential as you'll need to bring colleagues along on a shared journey, whilst managing funder relationships and reporting with rigour and care. You'll be able to synthesise complex information into clear recommendations and actionable next steps and communicate with confidence at a senior level. Above all, you'll be collaborative and inclusive, with the drive to embed learning and lasting change within the organisation.

We are in the first year of our next strategic period, and this is an exciting moment to join the Charitable Foundation team as its new Fundraising Manager (Individual Giving). 

Our individual giving (IG) programme is at a pivotal stage of development, and the Fundraising Manager will play a key role in helping us to deliver this and meet our ambitious income targets.  This is a senior role that will lead the delivery of the IG strategy, driving engagement and sustainable income growth from across the SJP community — Partners, Advisers and employees.

Reporting to the Head of Foundation and working within a collaborative team of seven, the Fundraising Manager will play a pivotal role in shaping donor engagement, enhancing stewardship pathways, and ensuring delivery of annual income targets to support the Foundation’s grant-making in the UK and overseas.

This role will influence senior stakeholders across SJP, be central to building meaningful relationships with our donors, and help embed a strong culture of giving throughout the community.

What you’ll be doing:

Individual Giving Strategy & Income Growth

· Lead the development and delivery of a long-term Individual Giving strategy, covering regular giving, donations, legacies and celebration giving.

· Drive donor acquisition, retention, upgrade and reactivation activity.

· Develop and implement robust, donor-centric stewardship pathways to maximise engagement and lifetime value.

· Deliver targeted, multi-channel internal fundraising campaigns across SJP digital platforms.

· Use data-led insights, audience segmentation and testing to optimise performance and ensure continued innovation.

· Monitor and evaluate IG performance, reporting insights and recommendations to the Head of Foundation and Board of Trustees.

· Manage the IG budget to deliver strong ROI and achieve agreed income targets.

· Identify funding gaps and implement corrective actions where required.

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

· Build and support major donor relationship development alongside the Head of Foundation.

· Work closely with the Fundraising Manager (Events & Committees) and Foundation Co-ordinator to motivate and grow Regional Foundation Committees.

· Represent the Foundation at corporate, challenge and Foundation events (including occasional out-of-hours attendance).

· Collaborate with colleagues to develop compelling impact stories that inspire giving.

· Influence and engage stakeholders across SJP, often at senior level.

Governance, Risk & Compliance

· Ensure all fundraising activity complies with GDPR, charity law and fundraising best practice.

· Adhere to the Chartered Institute of Fundraising Code.

· Monitor risks associated with IG activities and maintain appropriate controls and risk register updates.

· Contribute to business continuity planning within your area of responsibility

Who We Are Looking For:

We are looking for an experienced and strategically minded fundraising professional who combines strong commercial awareness with a passion for charitable impact. You will be confident influencing stakeholders across SJP, highly data literate, and motivated by delivering sustainable income growth.

The ideal candidate will bring energy, creativity and a collaborative approach, alongside the ability to translate complex data into clear insight and action. You will understand the unique role of the Foundation within SJP and be committed to delivering an exceptional supporter experience.

Essential Criteria:

· Extensive experience developing and delivering strategic Individual Giving programmes within a medium to large charity.

· Proven track record of achieving income growth through donor acquisition, retention and stewardship strategies.

· Strong analytical capability, with experience using CRM systems (e.g. Raisers Edge or similar) to segment, analyse and report on fundraising performance.

· Sound knowledge of charity regulation, fundraising compliance and relevant legislation (including GDPR).

· Demonstrable ability to influence and collaborate effectively with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.

Desirable Criteria:

· Experience working within a corporate foundation or corporate-charity environment.
