Location: London N1 7NH - Hybrid

You will be a key member of the Philanthropy & Partnerships team who are responsible for raising funds from and communicating with our biggest supporters – including trusts, major donors and corporate partners. 

You will be responsible for developing the major donor programme by identifying new prospective donors and effectively stewarding our existing donors, deepening their connection to our mission and encouraging them to give again. 

You will support trust and corporate fundraising efforts by prospecting new potential supporters and helping to draft grant applications, proposals, and impact reports that showcase the work of the charity in a clear, engaging way. 

You will also be responsible for administering CPRE’s Centenary Development Board, key influential individuals who are helping us to achieve our centenary mission in time for our 100th birthday in 2026.

As well as donors, you’ll work closely with the Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships and the Director of Fundraising and Supporters. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with some experience in HNWI and donor management to take their career further, working for a small but ambitious organisation operating in a unique space in the sector.
