Head of Major Donor Fundraising

The Head of Major Donor Fundraising role is crucial for our award-winning, creative Fundraising department, in helping to raise funds to enable the growth and expansion of our impact.  It’s an exciting time for War Child. In 2011 we expanded into a fifth country, developed our advocacy work and won a number of large, high profile corporate partnerships. We are now looking to launch a new Major Donor initiative to build on our support from a wide range of supporters from companies, individuals and the music industry to name a few.

This newly created role will help us grow our income from high net worth individuals in the years ahead. With an excellent understanding of relationship based fundraising and hands-on fundraising abilities, you will help us generate income from a portfolio of existing and prospective donors. Results oriented, you will have strong interpersonal and management skills together with a flexible and proactive approach. Two year’s proven experience in major donor fundraising is highly desirable.

This is a great opportunity for a motivated individual with a passion for international development and experience of building relationships with senior/ high profile figures to join a young, award winning and ambitious team and help us to dramatically grow our income to reach more children in the worst conflict affected countries. As part of a small team the person will have the chance to shine and really have an impact on our projects supporting children affected by war.
