An exciting moment to join us. YMCA England & Wales is entering one of the most exciting chapters in its fundraising history, launching our ambition to create 10,000 new homes for young people by 2030. Working alongside local YMCAs, we will support the development of new accommodation across the country, helping young people move towards independence. This role sits at the heart of that ambition.
We seek a dynamic charity fundraiser to lead the development of new high-value corporate partnerships. This role offers an exceptional career opportunity to shape and deliver the next phase of our national corporate fundraising ambition, building on a strong foundation of award-winning work. Late in 2025, our Corporate Partnerships team was recognised at the Corporate Engagement Awards with multiple awards. During the early months of 2026, the groundwork for our multi-year strategy has been laid: The 10,000 Homes Fund is our flagship proposition. Now is the time to execute.
As Senior Fundraising Manager, you will play a crucial role in securing new revenue of significant scale and impact. You will deliver new business; identifying, cultivating, and closing significant corporate relationships. You will design compelling partnership propositions, manage high-level external engagement, and ensure alignment with YMCA’s mission and strategic priorities. This is a senior position with scope to influence the direction of YMCA’s corporate fundraising strategy and the culture of the wider team. You will provide leadership and guidance to your team, while also contributing to a collaborative and ambitious environment across fundraising and the wider organisation.
The successful candidate will be an experienced fundraiser with demonstrable results in winning new corporate partnerships. You are probably the top performer at your current charity, can evidence multiple six-figure successes and are eager to take the next step in your career by moving to a strategic, senior role. You will be motivated by the opportunity to shape a growing programme, work with high-profile brands, and create opportunities that deliver lasting change for young people and communities across England and Wales.
YMCA is the oldest and largest youth charity in the world, serving communities across England and Wales every day. The fundraising team is geared up for success, the strategy is set, the proposition is proven, and the results are already coming in. The plan now is to hire the talent to take this momentum to the next level. YMCA England & Wales is committed to equality and valuing diversity. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
Safer recruitment is important to us and the successful applicant will be asked to provide two references. They will also be required to complete a safeguarding self-declaration, safeguarding training and undertake a DBS check.
