Job description

Are you a seasoned fundraiser who has experience of securing six-figure gifts?
We’re looking for a Principal Gifts Manager, who will be responsible for developing and maintaining meaningful relationships with those whose generous contributions make a transformational impact on the work we do.

What does this job do?
As Principal Gift Manager, you will:

  • build and manage relationships with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families to secure six- and seven-figure multi-year gifts,
  • develop tailored cultivation, solicitation and stewardship strategies that deliver exceptional donor experiences and long-term engagement,
  • identify and progress new principal gift prospects, strengthening the pipeline and contributing to long-term income growth,
  • work closely with senior leaders, trustees, and internal teams to maximise high-value fundraising opportunities and develop compelling cases for support.

Interviews for this role are provisionally scheduled for Friday 18th September and Monday 21st September, and will take place on Teams.

Could this be you?
To be successful in this role, you’ll need proven experience of securing six- and seven- figure gifts, from cultivation and stewardship through to “making the ask”. You’ll need significant experience managing a diverse portfolio, and the ability to build, influence and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders and donors. You’ll be highly organised, proactive, and collaborative, and thrive while working in a fast paced environment. A passion for the work we do is essential.

We’ll never put a healthy dog down, so our work is focused on helping dogs in need, supporting owners every step of the walk, and creating a better world for dogs in the future. It’s what we’ve been doing since 1891 and how we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading dog charity, helping 12,000 loyal friends find their forever homes every year.
