At ActionAid UK, we’re driven by the belief that a fairer world is possible—one where women and girls live free from poverty and violence, and where their voices shape the future. As our new Senior Philanthropy Manager, you’ll play a central role in making that vision a reality.

We’re looking for major donor fundraiser, who is a stewardship expert to build impactful relationships with prospective givers and carefully steward our dedicated donors giving 5 figure gifts. You will be empowered to represent ActionAid and to take decisions quickly. You’ll be joining a high trust team, at a really exciting time for the organisation.

This is a chance to build deep, meaningful relationships with a network of influential, high-net-worth individuals and philanthropic foundations whose generosity fuels our work. You’ll take ownership of a portfolio of major donors, engaging them with ActionAid’s mission and developing bespoke strategies that inspire sustained, transformational giving. From crafting compelling cases for support to leading personal meetings and presenting ambitious new opportunities, you’ll help turn passion into tangible impact.

Working closely with our Head of Philanthropy and senior leadership team, you’ll shape the future of ActionAid’s high-value fundraising. You’ll contribute to the growth of our philanthropy programme, identifying new partnerships, nurturing key relationships, and helping to secure five- and six-figure gifts that power our campaigns, humanitarian responses and long-term development projects. Collaboration will be key—you’ll work with programmatic experts, global partners, and research colleagues to match donor interests with the change they want to see in the world.

We’re looking for someone with proven success in securing major gifts and cultivating relationships at a senior level, whether in the charity sector or beyond. You’ll be confident, strategic, and creative, with the credibility to engage influential individuals and the storytelling skills to bring ActionAid’s mission vividly to life. A passion for feminist values and a commitment to equality, inclusion and safeguarding underpin everything you do.

This is an opportunity to join a purpose-driven team that believes in ambition, collaboration and change. If you’re ready to lead transformative partnerships that create lasting impact for women and girls worldwide, we’d love to hear from you.
