Are you an experienced Trusts and Foundations fundraiser seeking an exciting role in the nature and rewilding sector?

With the Fundraising Manager's support, you will lead digital individual giving campaigns, including the Big Give, to grow our regular supporter base and boost unrestricted income.

Design campaigns to increase platform uptake, engage with organisations and communities to actively use Climate Connect, ensuring  a smooth user journey.  Help gather impact case studies for future grant funding, and liaise with external developers to coordinate platform updates and improvements.
