Job description

The English-Speaking Union is seeking a dynamic and experienced Fundraising Manager to establish and lead a new fundraising function. This is a key role for the organisation and offers an exciting challenge of building a sustainable and diversified income stream from the ground up.

Working closely with the ESU’s Senior Leadership Team, we will look to you to shape a fundraising strategy which supports our mission and provides long-term growth and sustainability. This is a strategic and hands-on position, ideal for a proactive individual who thrives on autonomy and is excited by the challenge of creating something new.

If you’re looking for a varied role with a high degree of autonomy and where you can make genuine meaningful impact, we’d love to hear from you.

The ESU was founded in 1918 to build greater understanding and friendships between people and nations. We are an educational charity with international reach, we work with over 100,000 young people every year and have an ESU presence over 50 countries. 

Today our work is focussed on training young people in oracy – speaking and listening skills, in critical thinking and self-expression - to build skilful communicators and engaged citizens and leaders.  

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the delivery of ESU’s existing fundraising strategy, focusing on the high value opportunities across philanthropy, corporates, trust and foundation. We also want to develop our legacy giving and put in place an efficient and focused programme for individual givers who are close to our work.
  • Develop the people, processes, tools and technologies needed to deliver the strategy.
  • Proactively support the DG and Director of Engagement and potentially the Chair and  Trustees, in their stewardship of key high value prospects.
  • Manage relationships with current and prospective donors, including making asks, providing a high level of stewardship.
  • Refine and develop our case for support and giving opportunities.
  •  Research and write compelling funding applications and proposals tailored to potential donors and grant-making organisations.
  •  Manage and update the fundraising pipeline and budgets and own the fundraising KPIs.
  • Work with Marketing and Supporter Services to develop donor materials and coordinate donor communications and engagement activities.
  • Work with the Education team to have knowledge of our product offering and explore tailoring our products to align with funders’ priorities.
  • Conduct donor research to identify new prospects.
  • Work with the Supporter Engagement Manager to encourage Alumni, Members and Volunteers to become individual givers.
  • Track and report on fundraising performance using our CRM, Salesforce.
  • Maintain knowledge of fundraising regulations and best practice.
  • Essential:
  • Proven experience in creating or leading a fundraising function within the charity or education sector.
  • Proven experience of defining and implementing processes, tools and technologies needed to drive successful fundraising
  • A track record of working directly with major donors, corporate and Board members to secure major donations from individuals, corporates, trusts and foundations
  • Strong understanding of charity fundraising regulations, GDPR, and best practice fundraising.
  • A track record of meeting financial targets with management experience of setting, monitoring and reforecasting on budgets
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft persuasive funding bids and reports.
  •  Highly organised and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
  • Experience using fundraising databases or CRM systems.
  • Desirable:
  • An understanding of the nature and importance of the ESU’s charitable work and a strong commitment to increasing the reach of the organisation’s work.
  • Knowledge of the education or youth development sector.
  • Membership of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising or other relevant body.
