Philanthropy Manager in Bromley

UNICEF ensures more of the world's children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we're not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK). As Philanthropy Manager, you will work with high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) based in the UK, to secure high-value, multi-year income to support our work for children around the world.

You will build and manage strategic relationships with new and existing philanthropic supporters through our products, initiatives and tailored supporter journeys, delivering excellent stewardship and cultivation and collaborating with colleagues across the organisation to identify new opportunities for long-term philanthropic support.

You will bring strong experience of managing high-value donor relationships and securing significant financial support through persuasive, relationship-led fundraising. This role requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills, sound knowledge of philanthropic motivations and fundraising strategies and confidence using CRM systems, budgeting tools and data to manage performance effectively.

In return, we offer:

• Excellent pay and benefits (including flexible working, generous annual leave and pension, big brand discounts and wellbeing tools)
• Outstanding training and learning opportunities and the support to flourish in your role
• Impressive open plan office space and facilities on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
• An open culture and workplace with colleagues who share our values, enjoy their work and are motivated to do their utmost for children
