Job description

About Compassion UK

Compassion is a Christian child development charity that sees beyond poverty to the incredible potential God has placed in every child and family. Partnering with more than 8,900 local churches in 29 countries, we work to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. You can read more about our principles and history on our website.

Do you have significant major-donor fundraising experience and a track record of building trusted relationships that lead to transformational gifts? Or do you know someone who could be a great fit? We’d love for you to share this opportunity with your networks.

Compassion UK & Ireland is looking for a Senior Philanthropy Manager to build meaningful relationships with major supporters and prospective philanthropists who share our heart to see children released from poverty in Jesus’ name.

You’ll develop and steward significant donor relationships, creating tailored engagement plans that help supporters connect deeply with our mission and understand the difference their generosity can make. Through strategic planning, inspiring communication and excellent relationship management, you’ll help cultivate long-term partnerships that enable Compassion’s ministry to flourish.

If you are a relationship-focused fundraiser with significant major-donor experience, strong communication skills and a personal commitment to the Christian faith, this could be an exciting opportunity to use your expertise for lasting impact.
