Outside In are seeking an experienced fundraiser to play a key role in our next phase of growth and development. 

Working closely with the CEO and Board, the Fundraising & Development Manager will play a key part in ensuring the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability. The Fundraising and Development Manager will lead the refinement and delivery of our fundraising strategy, driving forward diverse income streams, including trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, digital fundraising, individual donors and patrons. You’ll also play a central role in shaping supporter journeys and strengthening relationships with funders, partners, and stakeholders. 

We’re looking for someone with a strong track record of delivering successful fundraising activities, with excellent communication and copywriting skills, and experience of managing projects remotely. You’ll be confident using insight and data to guide decision-making and maximise impact.

In return, you’ll join a supportive, value-led organisation where your ideas and contributions will be valued. We offer flexible, hybrid working, generous annual leave and a chance to make a profound difference to underserved artists across the UK. 

Who we are:

Hope is here. The Global Returns Project (GRP) is a UK charity unlocking new philanthropy to deliver urgent solutions for our planet.

We are a fast-moving nonprofit that makes donations to high-impact nature and climate charities simple – and we don’t take any fees. We’ve already mobilised over £3 million for top environmental solutions and are working to unlock at least £30 million annually by the end of the decade.

We are growing quickly: Last year's annual fundraising was nearly triple the previous year's.

The problem: Charities protecting our planet can turn the tide on climate change and nature loss. They have the skills, strategies and networks to deliver fast and global impact. But less than 2% of philanthropy goes to climate mitigation.

Our solution: In the UK alone, around £2 trillion sits with “HNW+” individuals – those holding between £100k and £30 million. Yet traditional philanthropy largely overlooks them. We’re unlocking this funding by offering trusted, pro bono advice and a simple, portfolio approach to giving. Our expertise in UK wealth advice offers a unique path to scalability and systems-change.

What we are looking for:

Job Title: Philanthropy Officer

We're looking for an organised, proactive Philanthropy Officer to support our work engaging high-net-worth individuals and the wealth advisers who refer them to our work, maintaining a strong pipeline of partners and donors. 

You'll support prospecting and, where appropriate, outreach and relationship management across wealth adviser partnerships, helping to grow our referrals and giving channels. Alongside this, you'll help coordinate the logistics and admin behind our Planet Adviser Network, helping build and sustain the pool of wealth advisers collaborating with us. 

On the HNW side, you'll support contact mapping across GRP's donors, contacts and Board to help identify high-net-worth individuals and families, and support relationship management with them when appropriate. 

The ideal candidate will be excited to take on admin and logistics for major donor stewardship: including our Planet Leadership Circle, support of big and small HNW events, helping produce major donor impact materials (including reports), and other stewardship touches.

You’ll thrive in a small, fast-moving team – taking initiative, being collaborative, and contributing to shared goals. Crucially, you’ll care deeply about climate and nature. 

Experience preferred:

Some professional experience in fundraising and HNW philanthropy (as a guide, likely 1-3 years).

Please see the full job description attached for information on main duties and responsibilities.

Location: Centrally located, light and airy office on Regent Street, London. Hybrid working: estimated 3-4 days per week in the office. 

Benefits: 25 days’ annual leave, plus statutory bank holidays. Occasional 1–2 days’ additional paid leave over the Christmas period. Flexible working.

Reports to: Chief Partnerships Officer

Timetable: Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis; early application is encouraged. 

Preferred start date: 7 September 2026
