Do you want to use your relationship skills in identifying and managing a group of mid-level and major donors as well as prospects to serve God and see people thrive? Are you passionate about students around the world encountering Jesus? Then, join us and invite supporters to partner with us to advance God’s work among students. This role offers an opportunity for you to cultivate authentic, long-term relationships where financial giving grows from a desire for students to know Jesus, trust in IFES, and the joy of participation.
We are a movement of students sharing and living out the good news of Jesus Christ. Locally. Nationally. Globally. IFES ministry is supported behind the scenes by International Services based in Asia, the UK, and the USA. IFES supports and connects students living out the gospel as witnesses in the university in more than 180 countries worldwide. At the heart of everything we do is the desire to see students thriving as communities of disciples, transformed by the gospel and impacting the university, the church and society for the glory of Christ.
We are looking for a driven individual with a heart for student mission and excellent interpersonal skills to join the team. As our new Key Relationship Executive, you’ll have the joy of building deep, meaningful relationships with people who want to see God’s work among students flourish. You don’t need to come with direct mid-level and major donor fundraising experience – if you bring warmth, people skills, and tenacity, we’ll invest in you with all the training and support you need to thrive.
In this role, you’ll walk alongside a portfolio of prospects and supporters, (re)envisioning and inviting them – through meaningful relationships – to join in what God is doing through IFES. You’ll match their passions with the mission, share powerful stories of impact, and help them experience the joy of giving as a gospel partnership. If you love connecting with people, are motivated by faith, and want to see lives changed through biblical generosity, this is your opportunity to make an eternal difference.
We believe in a biblical, relationship-driven approach that builds genuine, faith-based partnerships rather than transactional asks. To succeed in this role, you’ll need to be tenacious and highly skilled at building and nurturing relationships – connecting with donors in a warm, authentic, and confident way – and inspiring supporters to grow their giving. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential so you can share IFES’s mission compellingly and tailor your approach to each donor’s passions and interests.
