Job description


Do you want your fundraising expertise to help more people to have a healthier heart for longer?

British Heart Foundation (BHF) is embarking on an exciting journey to significantly grow our philanthropic income over the next five years – and we’re looking for talented, driven fundraisers to help us achieve our vision.

About the role

As our Philanthropy Manager – Major Gifts, you’ll play a vital role in delivering this ambition by building strong relationships with high-value supporters, securing five and six-figure gifts to power vital cardiovascular research.

Managing a diverse portfolio, you’ll renew, steward, and uplift support from high-net-worth individuals and charitable trusts and foundations. As part of an ambitious and supportive team, you’ll work collaboratively to identify opportunities, develop compelling proposals, and deliver exceptional tailored donor experiences.

Key responsibilities

  • Manage and grow a portfolio of donors and prospects, securing five and six-figure gifts and pledges.
  • Identify, research and qualify new prospects, building a strong and sustainable pipeline.
  • Build strategic relationships with supporters, leading meetings and making confident, timely asks.
  • Develop compelling proposals and written communications that inspire support and demonstrate impact.
  • Provide exemplary stewardship to donors with engagement through events and other organisational opportunities
  • Deliver income targets, contribute to forecasting, and maintain accurate records. 

About you 

You’ll have a proven track record of securing five and six figure donations or pledges, with demonstrable experience managing and delivering tailored stewardship across a portfolio of major donors. This will include high-net-worth individuals, charitable trusts and foundations, and institutional funders. 

You bring experience identifying and cultivating new funders, and maximising funding opportunities through proactive, relationship-led fundraising. You’re confident developing persuasive proposals and written communications, clearly and succinctly conveying complex information (experience within medical research is desirable but not essential). 

Your outstanding communication skills enable you to engage confidently and credibly with senior stakeholders, building lasting relationships built on trust and professionalism. 

Highly organised and collaborative, you have strong planning skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively. You’re also proficient in Microsoft Office and CRM systems (such as Blackbaud CRM, Raiser’s Edge, or similar platforms). 

This opportunity is well-suited to an experienced major gifts fundraiser who thrives in relationship-led fundraising and is looking to advance their career within an ambitious, supportive and innovative philanthropy team.
