This is a rare opportunity to drive meaningful change in a community that values giving back, while addressing pressing hidden needs.

You will bring an entrepreneurial outlook, coupled with the ability to thrive in a startup environment

They are seeking an inspirational and tenacious leader, who combines strategic vision with hands-on implementation and can thrive in a start-up environment. An alignment of values and the motivation to make a meaningful difference for those living and working within the borough, and/or experience of place-based giving will enhance your application.

The skills and experience required for this role include:

• being an exceptional communicator with proven success in fundraising across diverse income streams
• strong relationship-building skills with corporates, HNWIs, and local stakeholders
• experience in leading teams and managing start-up operations
• understanding of community engagement, grant-making, and charity governance
• financial management, planning, and budgeting expertise.
