Evolve HR Consulting is delighted to be supporting a national and international humanitarian and campaigning charity, well-known for being a pioneer in its critical, life-saving work, in its search for a critical role; Development Manager. This is a unique and exciting time to be joining a team fighting for a cause that has a catastrophic impact on lives in the UK and around the world.

Are you an experienced and dynamic professional with a track record of achieving high level success in developing relationships for a charity, business development, or similar roles outside of the charity sector? Are you driven by a fast pace, stretching targets? Do you have the high-end communication skills needed to gain entry to, and work with a variety of statutory organisations including the departments of Police and Crime Commissioners, Mayoral offices and other regional authorities? If so, this could be the opportunity you are seeking.

Our client has innovatively led the way in its growing sector for 25 years and is recognised for setting the standard for robust and sustainable partnerships using a model often copied by others and that provides a significant proportion of the Charity’s income.

Reporting directly into the Head of the Department, the successful candidate will take responsibility for developing and sustaining your own portfolio of partners working with them to secure significant funds to support the department and its critical activities supporting victims and their families.

The successful candidate will need to have demonstrated excellence in a national or international charity environment or a similar related field outside of the charity sector.

You excel in revenue generation, exceeding targets and sustainable relationship management through your own efforts.
