You will be process driven with strong organisational skills and an attention to detail. You will lead the development of our operational infrastructure.

Background

Renaissance Foundation works with young people with significant challenges in their lives. We work with inspirational people, businesses and institutions to give our beneficiaries resilience, life experience and skills to enable them to achieve their potential.

We are at an exciting and pivotal point in our development, looking to broaden and grow our income streams, to invest in the development and scale of our programme, and to strengthen our processes and capacity to grow.

We are looking for a Head of Fundraising and Operations, who will play a critical role in making a success of our vision. This broad-ranging role will lead our fundraising efforts and impact assessment, and the development of our operational infrastructure.

Main duties and responsibilities:

Fundraising and impact assessment

The role will have principal responsibility for developing and delivering a fundraising strategy, building on the foundations that have increased income from around £40,000 to £180,000 over the past four years.

• We expect this to include:
  • Managing relationships, with the support of the CEO, with major donors

  • Managing smaller donor programmes
  • Fundraising and engagement events
  • Communications with existing funders and other potential supporters
  • Managing the charity’s donor and supporter database

• Using the information captured by our outreach team to maintain and analyse information on participants and their activity, to develop case studies, and to measure our impact over time
• Ensuring that we remain clear on the needs of our participants, using research where necessary, and that our impact addresses these needs

Operations

The charity is at a stage of its development where we need to strengthen our processes and become more systematic about the way we operate. Renaissance Foundation is full of creative talent and energy; we need to ensure that this is focused to ensure that we are maximising our impact. The remit is therefore broad, but we expect it to include:

• Ensuring that the workings of and rationale for all aspects of the programme are clearly documented, to ensure alignment of focus internally, and to assist with the articulation of our mission to potential supporters
• Ensuring that our data on referral agencies, participants and programme partners is of the highest quality
• Assisting the CEO in defining operational targets for employees and volunteers, and tracking performance against these targets
• Playing a lead role supporting the CEO on any major projects (eg. moving premises, setting up satellite hubs)
• Playing a lead role supporting the CEO on developing the charity’s strategy and longer-term plans

Person specification

Experience:

• Educated to degree level
• At least 3 years experience in a fundraising or fundraising operations role
• Previous direct responsibility for operations is not critical but desirable

Personal qualities:

• The ability to think in a highly structured way and to simplify complex issues into forms that can be easily understood by others
• Excellent written English, with extensive experience of business and/or marketing communication
• Excellent oral communication skills
• the ability to engage and communicate with a broad range of people 
• Flexibility, and enthusiasm for working in the fast-paced and constantly changing environment of a growing service-providing charity
• Effective time management skills and the ability to multi-task and prioritise competing demands, even when under pressure, in a methodical and systematic manner

First round interviews will take place the week of the 9th March. 

Help Musicians is the independent charity for professional musicians, with the aim of making a meaningful difference to the lives of musicians across all genres. The charity offers an integrated programme combining Health and Welfare support and Creative development and has a mission to create a world where musicians thrive and to support and empower musicians through all stages of their lives.

Demand for the charity’s programme of work continues to grow at a rapid rate and our centenary year in 2021 provides us with an opportunity to engage more people than ever before in our work. Joining our team in London as Corporate and Trusts Fundraising Officer, you will have the opportunity to work with an experienced and passionate fundraising team at one of the most exciting times in our history.

Your focus will be to secure income from trusts, foundations and other grant giving bodies with 70% of your time dedicated to this. The rest of your time will be spent supporting the Corporate and Trusts Fundraising Manager in developing the Corporate Partnering Programme. You’ll be someone who enjoys prospecting and building relationships, with excellent communication and organisational skills. You will also have the ability to write compelling, persuasive proposals with the skills to inspire and engage potential supporters.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

• Manage an existing portfolio of trusts in order to maximize income
• Identify and research potential trusts foundations and corporates supporters which align with HM’s strategic priorities
• Prepare and submit high quality funding proposals in line with HM’s funding portfolio
• Produce update reports for trusts and other grant giving bodies providing details of the impact of donations

To be successful you will need:

• A proven track record of securing and increasing grant income, with experience of successfully working towards an agreed financial target
• Experience of researching large volumes of suitable prospects (trusts and corporate)
• Confident and clear verbal and written communications skills, able to write compelling and effective applications
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship building skills, with robust stewardship skills

This is a varied role which provides an exciting opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their fundraising career.  

This role will take over a fledgling corporate partnerships programme and prospect list, securing partnerships for super interesting and emotive projects, including accessible sport, 121 child assessments, family work, group sensory projects and family respite trips.

The partnerships fit a broad variety of CSR aims and can be developed into a range of partnership types, so there is a lot of scope to be both creative, and to speak to a range of different industries. So far they have a modest portfolio of grants, employee fundraising and volunteering partnerships which will require light-touch account management (and some potential growth in a couple), although the main focus initially will certainly be new business. There is no line management at present, but there is growth planned so this role would end up being a team leader position as the income grows.

The hiring manager is more than happy to have chats or coffees with interested candidates as a first stage if that is preferable.

The Senior Partnerships Manager will be responsible for managing a portfolio totalling c.£800k, made up of high-value and strategic, multi-year partnerships. The partners are typically not only income generating, but adding strategic value in numerous ways, and because of this, the stakeholders are senior level, usually c-suite.

The portfolio includes partners who have been onboard for 7+ years, generating 6-figures annually, through to a brand new partnership that has just been won. There will also be some work towards a potential CRM activation in an existing partner, which will be the first of its kind at Teach First.

We are looking for someone who has the confidence and gravitas to influence at the required level, who has experience of managing 6-figure+ partnerships, ideally with beyond-income benefits as well as fundraising.

A really interesting role which is able to both build on a successful existing programme (regional corporate), and develop a brand new section of the team from scratch (national corporate). The regional work will follow the model this charity has on the philanthropy side which works with fundraisers in their nation-wide regional hubs, to coach and develop them in maximising their local relationships. The central team will be to provide more experience and advice in order to support the regional teams to deliver top-notch account management and new business.

At the same time, the CPM will be developing a national partnerships programme. They have had prior success (including a £multi-million partnership), a big household name and fundable products, so there is plenty of scope for this to take off. A consultant has already reviewed and so the initial research work into types of partnership and strategy is sketched out, ready for someone to come and start building the pipeline.

It offers a unique mix to make a national programme your own and develop almost from scratch (but with an excellent track record behind you), as well as being able to develop an existing portfolio at the same time. A great role for professional development.
