About the Tent Partnership for Refugees:

With more and more refugees displaced for longer periods of time, businesses have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate economically in their new communities. Tent was launched in 2016 by Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO and founder of Chobani – a multibillion dollar food company in the U.S. – to mobilize global businesses to fill this gap by helping connect refugees to work. Today, Tent is a network of over 400 major companies committed to hiring, training, and mentoring refugees. Find out more at www.tent.org.

About the role:

The Senior Manager, European Fundraising will support Tent’s fundraising efforts across Europe, working closely with the VP Europe and country directors in key markets to develop tailored fundraising strategies.

The Senior Manager will help develop region- and market-specific fundraising approaches, create fundraising materials, track donor outreach and engagement, and ensure coordination with Tent’s broader fundraising strategy.

• Track fundraising activities and donor relationships.
• Help define region- and country-specific fundraising targets based on market context and opportunities.
• Implement and maintain donor tracking and reporting systems to support regional fundraising efforts.
• Collaborate with the CEO, VP for Europe, and Chief of Staff to ensure strategic alignment and high-level engagement with key donors.

Essential skills/experience:
