King's Global Health Partnerships (KGHP) works with health facilities, academic institutions and governments to strengthen health systems and improve the quality of care in Somaliland, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and Zambia. With some of this work dating back twenty years, KGHP brings together expertise from King's College London, King's Health Partners NHS Trusts, and African partners to educate, train and support healthcare workers, strengthen healthcare and training institutions, and enhance national health policies and systems. 

To date, the work of KGHP has been supported through a blended funding model, combining institutional funding from King's College London and King's Health Partners with income from statutory donors, research grants and philanthropic donors. KGHP is seeking an ambitious individual to focus on generating philanthropic income. This role will suit candidates with experience in raising five and six figure gifts from individuals, trusts and foundations and corporate donations.  

As our Fundraising Research and Operations Manager you'll support both our Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships teams. These teams provide expert support to fundraisers in the areas of finance, data analysis, prospect research and pipeline management, database usage, high value audience events, and stewardship and cultivation approaches. Ultimately this role will help to enable fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’, P&P’s and BHF’s priorities.

As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role that covers both research and operations responsibilities in support of the Corporate Partnerships team. You'll lead on the production and delivery of high quality, tailored prospect research and operational improvements which will feed into team strategies. Through improved systems and processes, fundraising hours available for direct fundraising activity will be increased.

You'll lead on data mining and prospecting to manage and increase the Corporate Partnerships prospect pool and will advise, support, and consult with Corporate Partnerships fundraisers to ensure knowledge of pipeline and activity.

As well as working with the finance and data teams to forecast team income, using the CRM database to plan and track approaches to donors for financial support.

Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation. The fundraiser does not face the prospect, donor, or corporate alone; they are supported and prepared for the challenge by those who have identified the opportunity right through to others who have shaped their case for support or proposal.

As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.

About you

You'll have previous experience of managing prospect pools; segmenting and tracking donors and a strong track record of implementing effective prospect research strategies. With in-depth major donor or corporate fundraising research experience in a charity or University environment, you'll have a thorough understanding of prospect research principles and ethics, gift capacity indicators and fundraising strategies.

We are looking for a solutions focussed individual with excellent attention to detail and excellent interpersonal skills. You'll have strong time management skills, able to work under pressure and to deadlines. With strong research and analysis skills, you'll be able to work methodically and with precision.

You'll have previous experience of preparing professional prospect briefings to the highest standard for senior stakeholders and supporting a large team of fundraisers. 

You'll be IT literate and adept with Microsoft packages, including intermediate level Excel skills and will have an understanding of budgets and broad financial processes.

The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre is an international human rights organisation working to ensure respect for human rights are at the core of companies’ business models; empower communities and workers, to secure their rights; and advance accountability for corporate human rights abuse. Our Global Team, based in more than 20 countries around the world, work with a rich network of activists, unions and human rights groups, and investors. Our website and publications are available in eight languages. We work across all sectors and issues related to business and human rights, with strategic focus on the rights of workers in global supply chains, the rights of communities seeking responsible natural resource use and a just transition to zero carbon, and the rights of people to accountable digital technologies. The Development Manager will be an integral part of the Global Team.

The Resource Centre has helped define the growing field of business & human rights. It has put companies in all regions on notice that their human rights conduct is being watched. It has drawn attention to corporate abuses in all countries and provided increased recognition to those companies taking positive steps to promote human rights. The Centre is widely respected for being fair, objective, and constructive in its approach to make change happen.

THE POSITION

The Development Manager is a key position to increase the Resource Centre’s impact to put human rights at the heart of business. The job helps grow our annual budget (currently at about £4 million/$5.3 million per year) by expanding its base of foundation and government donors in Europe and helping the organization develop an individual giving programme, focused on major donors.

We see great potential from expanded European funding in coming years. The successful candidate will have strong skills and experience in institutional (trusts/foundations and government) fundraising, grant-writing and reporting, as over 95% of the organization’s income comes from these sources.
