Job description

At Rethink Mental Illness and Mental Health UK, we’re transforming what support looks like for people severely affected by mental illness. To help us reach even more people, we’re looking for a Prospect Research Manager to shape and lead our prospect research function—providing the intelligence, insight and strategic direction that will fuel our fundraising growth.

If you’re a curious, analytical thinker with a passion for uncovering opportunities and turning insight into impact, this could be your next step.

Online interviews for these roles will be held on 14th, 15th and 16th April.

About the role

As our Prospect Research Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind our high-value prospecting strategy across Philanthropy, Trusts & Grants, and Corporate Partnerships.

You will:

  • Lead a proactive research strategy that identifies, qualifies and prioritises high‑value prospects
  • Deliver high‑quality profiles, briefings, due diligence and portfolio insights
  • Build connection maps to uncover warm pathways into potential partners
  • Champion best practice in data, insight, and CRM usage (HIVE & Salesforce)
  • Stay ahead of trends in philanthropy, corporate giving and grant-making
  • Guide and develop our Prospect Researcher—fostering a culture of curiosity, integrity and collaboration
  • Work closely with senior fundraisers to shape portfolios, pipelines and long-term strategy

In short: you’ll make sure our fundraisers have the intelligence they need to build strong, meaningful relationships that change lives.

Who you’ll work with

You’ll collaborate across our high‑performing Fundraising team, including:

  • Trusts & Grants Managers
  • Philanthropy Manager
  • Corporate Partnerships
  • Senior leadership across External Affairs

This is a role where your insight will influence decisions at every level.

About you

You’ll thrive in this role if you bring:

Essential skills & experience

  • Significant experience in prospect research for fundraising
  • Strong knowledge of Philanthropy, Trusts & Grants, and Corporate fundraising
  • Ability to lead complex research projects with strategic focus
  • Outstanding analytical and communication skills
  • CRM confidence (Salesforce experience a big plus)
  • Experience with due diligence, connection mapping and portfolio management
  • A collaborative, proactive approach to working with teams and stakeholders
  • Sound understanding of GDPR, ethics, and the Fundraising Code of Practice
  • Commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion—and our mission

Desirable, but not essential

  • Knowledge of the mental health or wider health/social care sector
  • Experience with wealth screening tools or AI in prospect research

Why join us?

Working across both Rethink Mental Illness and Mental Health UK means you’ll be part of a team that generates nearly £6 million annually to support life-changing services, campaigns, and programmes.

Your insight and leadership will directly contribute to better outcomes for people living with mental illness—and that’s something you can feel proud of every day.

Ready to make a difference?

If you’re excited by the thought of leading insight-driven fundraising research—and want to help us create a world where everyone affected by mental illness gets the support they deserve—we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us drive meaningful, lasting change.
