A great opportunity has risen for a Senior Trusts + Statutory Manager to support our ambitious 5-year strategy by using your relationship-building skills to grow and develop high-value strategic funding relationships with Trusts and Foundations.
Asthma + Lung UK is the only charity in the UK fighting for everyone with a lung condition, aiming for a world where everyone can breathe with healthy lungs. We fund cutting-edge research, provide advice and support for the 12 million people who will get a lung condition during their lifetime. We also campaign for clean air and for better NHS diagnosis and treatment.
As a senior member of the team, you will be responsible for building and managing a portfolio of high-value prospects, with a focus on 6-figure and multi-year opportunities. With a strong focus on new business, you will enjoy the challenge of identifying new opportunities and developing bespoke cultivation plans, whilst also providing an excellent stewardship experience for existing funders. Working collaboratively across the organisation, you will lead on creating compelling proposals and inspiring reports to effectively demonstrate impact, and support the development of new propositions of strategic importance to the charity. You will line manage the Senior Trusts Officer, responsible for the mid-value portfolio, supporting them to achieve targets and meet their full potential.
Tenacious and proactive, you will have a strong track record of securing and managing 6-figure partnerships with funding partners, including generating new business. You will enjoy taking a relationship-led approach to Trusts + Statutory fundraising, looking for opportunities to engage funders and prospects through tailored engagement plans. A confident communicator both verbally and in writing, you will be comfortable building mutually supportive relationships with stakeholders of all levels of seniority both internally and externally. You will have experience of line management, and of working in a target-driven and fast-paced environment.
You will be joining a dynamic and successful team with big ambitions for growth, with an opportunity to develop your leadership skills and make a significant impact on our work.
As well as a competitive salary, you’ll enjoy a range of benefits including 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), membership of a health cash plan, employee assistance programme, cycle-to-work scheme, interest-free annual season Travelcard loan and pension scheme. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation committed to being the driving force behind the transformation of lung health.
