Join us as a Fundraising Executive

We’re pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for a Fundraising Executive to join the parkrun team, based in our Richmond (London) office.

parkrun is a health and wellbeing charity and our vision is to create a healthier and happier planet.

Since our conception in 2004, parkrun has evolved into a global social movement with a vibrant and inclusive community at its core. As of 2025, we have recorded over 120-million instances of walking, jogging, running, and volunteering.

Our mission is to transform lives by empowering people to be active, together, outdoors in their local community; and to protect parkrun for the generations to come. Each and every weekend, we deliver free, weekly timed events that people of all ages and backgrounds can join in. By tackling barriers to participation, we encourage communities to come together and embrace regular physical activity.

Now in its 21st year, parkrun spans over 2,600 locations in 21 countries with more than 10 million people registered, and counting.

And we have really only just begun.

The role

We are seeking a Fundraising Executive to be a valued member of parkrun’s Global Commercial & Fundraising Team.

They will also be responsible for supporting new activity as we look to expand and diversify our activity in areas like legacies and major gifts.

We offer great flexible working conditions and a range of employee benefits including a contributory pension plan, 25 days paid leave (plus Bank Holidays) and a commitment to develop your skills and provide training.

parkrun is proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer, committed to building a diverse and welcoming team that reflects the communities we aim to serve. We believe that varied perspectives strengthen our mission to create a healthier, happier planet. We encourage job applications from qualified candidates regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, age and other protected characteristics.
