If you are passionate about major gifts, fundraising innovation, and inspiring teams of fundraisers worldwide, this is your opportunity to contribute to a critical mission.

You will be both an innovative and inspiring fundraiser, and a meticulous project manager, delivering dynamic ways of working across the diverse, global teams you engage with. A key part of your work involves continuously monitoring progress, proactively identifying and mitigating potential risks, and supporting the financial management and transparent reporting of project expenditure to stakeholders and funders.
