Head of Individual Major Gifts

Greenpeace UK

Location: Flexible working with office base in London, UK

Salary information: c. £47,000 per annum, depending on candidate’s experience

Together we defend the natural world and work for a green and peaceful future 

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Our vision is a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet, one that can sustain life for generations to come. 

We are independent. We don’t accept any funding from governments, corporations or political parties – our work is funded by ordinary people. That means we are free to confront governments and corporations responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change. 

We do this by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure and mobilising members of the general public. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and peaceful future. 

To help us achieve our mission we are seeking a new Head of Individual Major Gifts. This new Head will drive a strategy to increase our major gift income.  It will require an exceptional person who brings a passion for the cause and a can-do attitude, to build up our major gifts fundraising activity, and turn our ambitions of significantly increasing this area of income, into a reality.

Working closely with the Executive Director and the Deputy Fundraising Director, Key Relationships, you will lead the team who identifies and engages existing and prospective donors in the work of Greenpeace, to deepen their interest and support.  You will bring experience of negotiating and securing high level relationships for the organisations you’ve represented.  Ideally, this will have been gained in a philanthropic fundraising environment, however we are open to exploring transferrable skills, developed in the commercial sector.  You will be welcomed by a talented and committed team, and a senior leadership team who understand what it takes to achieve excellence. 

If you are excited to learn more about this exceptional opportunity and a chance to make an impact on the most pressing issue of our time, please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates or visit https://richmond-associates.com/jobs/head-of-individual-major-gifts-greenpeace-uk  to download more information.
