Senior head of philanthropy jobs near Kensington And Chelsea, Greater London

We are seeking a dynamic and collaborative marketing Senior Campaign Manager to lead our flagship perception change campaign This is Engineering, and in doing so to help us tackle the longstanding skills and diversity shortfall in engineering by attracting more young people, from all backgrounds, into the profession.

This is Engineering is a long-term marketing campaign, launched in 2018, that has already had a measurable impact on young people; at its most successful it has increased teens’ likelihood to consider a career in engineering by 85%. A finalist in Third Sector’s Communications Campaign of the Year, This is Engineering is recognised as a genuinely pioneering campaign in the profession and has drawn widespread support from organisations including Rolls-Royce, Amazon, and Google.

The role

As Senior Campaign Manager, you will use your digital marketing expertise to lead This is Engineering into its next phase, helping us to keep the campaign creative fresh, maintain its relevance to teenagers, and grow its reach through increasingly effective channel choice and targeting. You will also help shape the development of a community of This is Engineering champions – young engineers who co-create content with us to share on their own channels as well as ours to reach new audiences. You will work with colleagues and partners to make sure that This is Engineering is changing perceptions well beyond digital channels too: in schools, through STEM ambassadors, at events, and through other marketing and partner channels. 

Working alongside the Academy’s media and digital communications teams, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering National Engineering Day, a national awareness day spun out of This is Engineering to celebrate the impact that engineers have on our lives and broaden public perceptions of engineering. Now in its fourth year, National Engineering Day, formerly known as This is Engineering Day, has consistently mobilised engineers, engineering organisations and influencers across social media to spread the word about engineering, and gained widespread media coverage across broadcast, print and online titles.

Who are we looking for?

You will be an experienced marketing campaign manager with specific expertise in digital marketing and - ideally - experience in running campaigns that have successfully engaged teenagers. You will balance creativity and energy with strong project management skills and a talent for engaging with senior stakeholders. You will be passionate about helping young people shape their futures, and about the opportunities, engineering can offer them.

While marketing is your core expertise area, you will be comfortable working across and alongside a range of communications disciplines and drawing on expertise from these disciplines to develop integrated campaigns. And you'll be a natural collaborator - keen not only to collaborate with colleagues, but also to build networks beyond the Academy in order to increase the reach of the campaign through partnership, keep up to date with best practice and the needs of our community and audiences.

Who are we?

The Royal Academy of Engineering is a charity that brings together exceptional engineers, technologists and innovators to harness the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone. We collaborate with our Fellows and partners to meet this ambition in three ways: by growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation and building global partnerships, influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

With a diverse workforce and an inclusive and supportive culture, we look to attract candidates from wide and different backgrounds who have a passion for the role engineering plays in society. Our aim is to make the Academy the best place to work for the staff we have and those we seek to attract.

Why work for the Royal Academy of Engineering?

We’re looking for people who are driven to make the world a better place. If you’re passionate about what you do and want to work collaboratively with talented colleagues to make change happen, now and for future generations, we want you to get in touch.

This is the perfect time to join us. We have a dynamic, visionary CEO, a strong leadership team and an ambitious and exciting strategy. The value we bring as experts in our field and change agents is highly recognised and makes the Academy a motivating place to be. Our work today builds on a long, proud history with a focused and ambitious future which we’d love you to be part of.

We are looking for talented people who want to make a difference to join our team – is this you?

Company Benefits

The Academy offers a fantastic package of additional benefits including:

• BUPA cash plan
• Private medical insurance
• Regular social activities
• Independent Financial Advice

JOB DESCRIPTION

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical
excellence for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

We’ve been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed
from being an enthusiastic start-up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state-of-the-art hospice building, The Ark, opened
in 2019.

Philanthropy, which covers both Major Donor and Trust fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah’s Ark – typically accounting for more than 50% of the charity’s overall income. The successful candidate will manage the Grants, Trusts & Foundations programme which has been expertly led and is now an area of real success. However, we know that we can go much further still.

The Senior Philanthropy Manager will benefit from working as an integral part of a high-performing and super supportive team, ready for its next exciting growth phase.

The Senior Philanthropy Manager will line manage an existing Trust Fundraiser and work closely with the Senior Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships, with guidance from the Director of Fundraising
& Communications, to manage and develop the trust pipelines, along with instrumental work on developing a structure around corporate and community application processes. The post-holder will be key in taking the philanthropy programme to the next level, securing new multi-year grants, supporting with applications to key corporate foundations and establishing lasting relationships
with funders.

ABOUT YOU

You will be a dedicated, organised and reliable individual. You will show determination to succeed and have a solutions-focused outlook. An exceptional and eloquent communicator, excellent  at managing your time and a natural relationship builder; you will have an eagerness for cross-team working. Whilst direct experience in all fundraising areas isn’t a prerequisite, you will have confidence in your ability to add value
through collaborative lateral thinking and through supporting other team members with their applications, as well as acting as a key liaison with our care team to obtain latest information
about service delivery.

If you have experience of leading a trust fundraising programme to an outstanding level, including securing numerous significant, ideally six-figure – grants, we would love you to apply.

Since our founding in 1997, Resources for Autism has supported autistic people and those who love and care for them. We help over 2,000 beneficiaries and 5,000 family members, providing practical support for those facing physical, social or emotional challenges. In addition to developing resilient parents and resilient children, we work to create resilient services that are aware and inclusive of neuro-divergence.

Working across Greater London and the West Midlands, we are driven by an ethos of radical acceptance of each individual as they are, working within their environment to transform their outcomes. In addition to our core work, we provide high-quality, hands-on training and consultancy around autism.

This is a very exciting time in our organisation’s journey, with a new strategy (launched in June 2022), an incoming and high-profile Chair; and an increasingly prominent and relevant cause. We want to continue to grow our service delivery, and we now want to find an ambitious, open and strategic Head of Fundraising to allow us to support more people and grow our reach. As a charity, we pride ourselves on being flexible, open to new ideas, caring and culturally inclusive.

We hope you will want to join our team.
