Location: London-Hybrid

Tenure: 10 Months Fixed term

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. As part of the ActionAid Federation, we work with women and girls, our partners, and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies?

Are you a dynamic and strategic leader ready to drive impactful fundraising at one of the UK’s most forward-thinking international development organisations?

ActionAid UK is offering an exciting opportunity to take the helm of our Strategic Funding and Insight team during a pivotal phase of growth and innovation. This is more than a maternity cover – it’s a chance to shape the future of high-value fundraising at an organisation that’s unafraid to challenge injustice at its roots!

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on innovation and complexity. You’ll work closely across internal departments – from advocacy and communications to international programme specialists – as well as externally with major donors and partners. Your leadership will be instrumental in spotting emerging trends, unearthing bold opportunities, and ensuring our fundraising practices are feminist, anti-racist and future-focused.

You’ll be joining an organisation that isn’t content with the status quo. We’re committed to systemic change – and that includes within our own operations. From climate justice to women’s rights, your work will help fund some of the most urgent and impactful interventions around the world.

We’re looking for someone with a strong track record in high-value fundraising, strategy development and team leadership. If you’ve got a keen eye for the big picture and a deep commitment to meaningful change, this is the role for you.

Come and make your mark. Join us in delivering innovative, ethical and strategic funding that empowers communities and transforms lives.

Apply now and be part of the movement for social justice.

Due to the nature of this role, the successful candidate will be asked to participate in criminal records checks at the point of offer.

Additional information:

Diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging:

Diversity, inclusion and belonging are key to our organisational culture. We are on a journey to become not only an anti-racist organisation but one that proudly

celebrates the diversity of all applicants and employees. We look forward to you bringing your full self to work, proudly sharing your unique perspective and helping us to shape our combined future. We especially welcome applications from those from under-represented/marginalised communities.

AAUK is a disability Confident Committed organisation and as such any candidate that declares a disability will be shortlisted for interview if they meet the essential criteria for the role.

Referencing and safeguarding:

All offers of employment will be subject to satisfactory references and appropriate screening checks, which can include safeguarding, criminal records and terrorism

finance checks. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
