Fundraising Manager

Organisation: The Outrunners Charity

Job Description

• Job title: Fundraising Manager

• Location: Hackney Bridge, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London (a canalside public destination less than five minutes from Hackney Wick station) 

• Salary: £36,700-£40,000 FTE depending on experience, pro rata to £22,000-£24,000 

• Hours: 0.6 FTE (3 days/21 hours per week). Office hours are 10am - 6pm with occasional evenings and weekends. Flexible working opportunities are available. 

Who are The Outrunners?

The Outrunners are a running and movement charity based in Hackney, on a mission to empower young people through movement. Backed by an incredible crew of volunteers and partner brands like Nike and Moju, we help young people in East London to build confidence, wellbeing, health and leadership skills.

We deliver free, fun, sociable, youth‑led running and movement sessions for 8–18 year olds every week - during term time and holidays. But we’re about more than just running. We create space for young people to explore creativity and culture, go on exciting trips, access wraparound wellbeing support, and develop the skills and opportunities they need to shape the futures they want.

Over the past five years, we’ve supported thousands of young people and helped push greater diversity within the running world.

We like to do things differently - taking young people out of their everyday environments and into exciting new spaces, opening doors to opportunities they might not otherwise have access to. If that sounds like something you want to be part of… read on.

Our achievements

We’re a small charity but we pack a mighty punch. Our income has grown year-on-year since we became a charity 6 years ago -  allowing us to expand our core team and move into office premises large enough to incorporate a Youth Hub. Last year we worked with over 1,150 young people through our school and communities programs, and this year we’re looking to expand our work even further!

To give you a sense of the kinds of work that we do, over the last year we have:

• Hosted a free Girls’ Festival for 100+ ethnically diverse young girls, allowing them to try running sessions, creative classes and yoga experiences in a safe and empowering environment.

• Hosted free training academies for ethnically diverse women and young people aged 16-21 to train for their very first half or full marathons! We offered physical, emotional and logistical support throughout their training journey and cheered on every single one of them as they ran either the Hackney Half or the London Marathon under the Outrunners name. Since programme launch, we have worked with over 250 people in our Academies.

• Took diverse groups of young people to races and events, such as Hackney School run and Black to the Trails. 

• Offered personalised mentoring to several of our young people who were struggling with school or life.

• Expanded the career horizons of young people by offering them a free work experience opportunity with our partner brands.

We are seeking an experienced fundraiser for a strategic and hands-on role who loves working in a small, ambitious charity and wants to help shape the next stage of growth at The Outrunners (current annual income circa £350k).

Reporting to the CEO, you will lead on income generation, with a primary focus on trusts and foundations, while growing a more diverse and sustainable income mix through corporate partnerships, community fundraising and individual giving.

Director of Fundraising
Podium Analytics
London, UK
Full-Time and permanent role
Salary: range of c. £110,000 – 120,000 pa with some flexibility on this for an exceptional candidate who will swiftly be able to make a significant impact.

 Established in 2019, Podium Analytics is a charity that is creating a world with more sport, less injury.

 We were founded with the belief that, to see the full benefit of sports participation, more needs to be done to address the issue of youth and grassroots sport injury, which is an under-researched, under-resourced and often overlooked issue.  Harnessing the power of data and research, and through education, influence and advocacy, we are creating a revolution in grassroots and youth sport, making players safer and more able to enjoy the sports they love and for longer.

Our work so far has been underpinned by our founding funders and key major supporters, who believe in our unique position in the sporting world and ability to drive change.  In order for us to achieve our mission and the long-term impact that we are striving for, we need to build out and diversify our income base and have made good progress by recently establishing a Donor Advised Fund (DAF).  At this point of our growth, we are seeking a new Director of Fundraising and it will take an experienced philanthropy leader to join us and help shape the next stage of our evolution.

You will be responsible for developing growth strategies, funding opportunities and donor relationships across a diverse portfolio of income streams.  You will therefore need to bring experience of securing gifts and grants, ideally at the 6-figure level or more.  To complement our existing activity, high-value Trusts & Foundations and corporate partnership experience would be a bonus.  

A commitment to our purpose will drive you, as you establish close working relationships with our CEO, Chairman, Trustees and senior management team, to enable the successful delivery of fundraising initiatives and drive opportunities forward.  As a strategic operator with an entrepreneurial and enterprising approach to your work, your track record of actively engaging with existing and potential supporters, and in developing and implementing comprehensive income generation strategies will underpin your ability to contribute to the strategic direction of the charity.  As we are a small charity, this is a very hands-on role so you will therefore need to be comfortable with rolling up your sleeves, working in the detail without losing sight of the big picture, and navigating new or ambiguous areas with a positive and solutions-orientated mindset. 

In return, you will have the support of a highly professional senior management team and an exceptional Board who are all committed to ensuring success in our fundraising endeavours.

If this is the sort of environment you are looking for in your next career step and you thrive on organisations in growth mode, we would like to hear from you.  Please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates on +44 (0)20 3617 9240 or visit their website to download further details before applying.

The Work Rights Centre is a progressive, rapidly growing charity dedicated to helping migrants and disadvantaged Britons access employment justice and improve their social mobility. We combine life-changing frontline legal advice with systems change work, and today we are launching a new chapter.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Campaigns and Digital Engagement Officer to bridge the gap between our work and the general public. You will be the engine that converts our legal wins and policy change ambitions into a public movement, mobilising our supporters to show up, speak up, and financially support our mission.

Key responsibilities include:

• Campaign development: Lead the creation of digital journeys that take supporters from casual followers to active participants (signing petitions, emailing MPs, and donating).

• Supporter engagement: Manage and segment our newsletter community, create high-performing content, and launch our first regular monthly giving programme.

• Digital optimisation: Use data (Mailchimp, Google Analytics) to track ROI, optimize website "Action" pages, and ensure a frictionless, mobile-first donation experience.

• Strategic growth: Contribute to the wider development of the charity, including our business planning and stakeholder relationships.

This role is fixed-term because this is the first time we are developing this work, with support from a restricted, time-limited grant. If by the end of the first year it is clear that the role brings significant value to the charity, we will be looking to secure alternative funding and extend the contract.

What we're looking for 

This is an ideal opportunity for a marketing or communications professional who is creative, strategic, and confident in their ability to grow communities. We are looking for someone with:

• Experience: At least 3 years in marketing or campaigning, with a proven track record of driving digital actions, building communities, or hit fundraising targets.

• Tech savvy: Confidence mapping user journeys, segmenting audiences, and using data to iterate digital strategy.

• Communication: Exceptional copywriting skills with the ability to translate complex policy or legal concepts into compelling, human stories.

• Mindset: A fundraising growth mindset, a proactive attitude, and a deep commitment to migrant rights and economic justice.

• Desirable: Lived or learned experience of the issues facing vulnerable migrants, or knowledge of a language other than English.

Even if you don’t tick every single box, if you share our values and trust your ability to make a positive contribution, we highly encourage you to apply.

Why join us?

• Generous leave: 32 days annual leave (28 days + Birthday Off + 3 days Christmas closure).

• Great benefits: 5% employer pension contribution, 20 weeks enhanced parental pay, and enhanced sick pay (up to 28 days).

• Growth & learning: A dedicated professional training budget to help you upskill.
