Join our team at World Hepatitis Alliance, supporting the Director of Partnerships & Resources to build and manage a varied portfolio of partners to fund the ambitious programmes, campaigns and events we will deliver through our 2025-2030 Strategy.
The World Hepatitis Alliance is an international NGO, representing over 400 civil society and patient organisation members in over 120 countries. We are committed to eliminating viral hepatitis, a devastating disease that affects more than 300 million people and is now the second most deadly infectious disease in the world.
Our current partners are mostly global corporate funders, along with several private foundations, and most support is given through bespoke partnerships, sponsorship and grants. We have diversified the base of funding substantially, introduced new funding models, and identified new funding opportunities, including working with partners to respond to global donor or institutional funding.
We are looking for a confident relationship-building who thrives on identifying new opportunities and developing long-term partnerships to help build on this momentum.
Duties and key responsibilities:
- Together with the Director of Partnerships & Resources, you will support the implementation of the fundraising strategy, deliver activity plans and achieve income targets in line with organisational funding priorities.
- Maintain and develop relationships with some existing partners.
- Proactively research and engage potential new partners and opportunities, which could include corporate partnerships, grant writing and sponsorship.
- Support on the delivery of sponsorship packages for campaigns and the World Hepatitis Summit – a bi-annual event hosted by the World Hepatitis Alliance.
- Support on the management of WHA’s annual corporate membership scheme
- Undertake your own projects such as the development of presentations, resources, newsletters or tools to support engagement with donors, working with programmes and communications colleagues, or support on wider organisational projects.
- Support the Director of Partnerships & Resources to deliver donor stewardship.
- Manage CRM database and provide administrative support across fundraising as needed.
General responsibilities:

- Maintain and improve competencies through continuous professional development.

- Treat with confidentiality any personal, private or sensitive information about individual organisations and or partners or staff etc.
The World Hepatitis Alliance is a small team who work closely together to deliver a wide range of programmes, activities, campaigns and communications. There may be opportunities to support on projects led by other teams and plenty of scope to develop the fundraising and partnerships function within this role as the team grows.
About you:
We are looking for a confident fundraiser who thrives on developing new opportunities and is self-motivated and pro-active.
We would like you to have at least three years’ experience in fundraising with corporates and/or trusts and foundations, or have demonstrable transferable skills, particularly around networking/new business and writing proposals. We would also like you to demonstrate skills in delivering presentations, managing data or supporter journeys, and it would be ideal if you had experience of working in, or a personal interest in, global health or infectious diseases.
We are also looking for someone who can work under pressure to meet deadlines while also having an eye for detail and desire to maintain high standards. Someone who can work effectively both independently and as part of a team. We work quite flexibly, and sometimes with partners all over the world so there may be a call or two outside of working hours. There may also be the opportunity to travel occasionally.
Why join us?
You will be part of a small, driven and highly passionate team who are experts in what they do, and work with partners who are similarly committed to hepatitis elimination. We offer a flexible working environment, 32-hour working week, generous annual leave allowance and employer pension contributions up to 5% of qualifying earnings.
