Accounting Manager Jobs in Edinburgh

Are you a strategic and creative thinker with a passion for collaboration and building impactful relationships? We are looking for an enthusiastic and results-driven Fundraising Partnerships Manager to join our small dynamic team at REACT.  In this critical role within our team, you will help support our ambitious plans for growth by driving revenue from a wide range of Partners, sectors and income streams in order to help fund the essential work we do in supporting crises affected communities in the UK and Internationally.

In return you’ll be part of an ambitious charity that regularly punches well above its
weight, remote location and flexible working options, 6% employer pension
contribution, free health cashback plan including access to 24/7 virtual GP and family
friendly policies.

JUST ONE Tree is a young, yet award-winning, non-profit organisation. We’re tackling the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through global reforestation. We make it simple for everyone to get involved because JUST £1 plants 1 Tree. 

We’re unique as we don’t just plant trees. We focus on restoring the entire ecosystem in the oceans as well as on land, and we also educate the next generation of environmental caretakers.

Sound like something you’d love to be part of? Join us in this important role.
 

The role:
Since it began JUST ONE Tree has grown in leaps and bounds, punching through all our expectations. We've planted 5 million trees, lifted communities out of poverty, protected coastlines and brought climate change education to just shy of a quarter of a million children. 

This is an incredible opportunity to join us for 7 months of maternity cover at an exciting time as we continue to scale and grow our impact! You'll be working alongside our founder Amanda and the rest of our passionate team to take us to new heights!

We’re looking for someone who can seek out and build great partnerships, cultivate and manage large corporate donors whose values align with ours and help raise brand awareness. Someone who can proactively generate new and repeat business, and enjoys networking and building relationships with both corporate sponsors and high net worth donors.

This is a maternity cover role for 7 months, starting in mid-May, offered as a flexible role, for 3 days a week. We’ll explore the exact hours and timing with you and together find what works. There will be the opportunity to potentially extend the contract depending on our future plans, how things evolve, and whether our current employee opts for extra time on maternity leave. 

Your work with us will raise awareness about the climate crisis and the importance of sustainability in the business world in order to create a liveable future. You’ll help us restore wildlife and marine habitats, improve livelihoods in rural communities, protect against deforestation, alleviate climate anxiety in our young and of course help tackle climate change head on.

So if you’re passionate about having a positive impact on both people and planet, want to work and interact with like-minded individuals (and have fun along the way) then we’d love to hear from you. 
 

What does the role involve: 

• Grow our annual and long-term funding.
• Research and successfully secure new long-term relationships with exciting brands and large corporate donors whose company values align with ours.
• Take the helm in the ongoing stewardship of these accounts, keeping them enthused about being part of JUST ONE Tree, the impact they’ve had and what their involvement means we can achieve together.
• Designing and implementing strategies to increase funding and strong partnerships that raise brand awareness and reach new audiences.
• Research networking, speaking events and opportunities for the CEO, yourself and others to attend, to build our network and profile. 
• Develop strategies to keep current corporate donors engaged and aligned with JUST ONE Tree's mission.

About you:

• A self-starter, someone who takes initiative and has boundless energy to get out there and help us grow.
• You’re great at getting brands and high-value donors on board with causes like ours, and an instinct for how to communicate and build starter brands like us.
• A real people-person who enjoys networking, meeting new people, and building and nurturing strong relationships with others.
• Confident speaking with senior stakeholders and decision makers from large and high-profile organisations.
• Have a track record in working in a growth and development role (minimum 3 years), and have a strong record of securing key partnerships and generating large income streams/donations.
• Agile and creative to seek out new opportunities in a rapidly evolving space.
• A team player who’s eager to collaborate with the team to help achieve our goals. 
• Have a good eye for brand identity.
• Working remotely is your cup of tea but you also have the flexibility and ability to attend networking events or team meet-ups/co-working days
• An excellent communicator who can convey the brand story and our achievements in person, in meetings and at events.
• You’re passionate about what we do, excited to represent our brand and want to turbocharge our global impact.
   

What’s in it for you

Working remotely – Like to work from home? No worries, our team is spread out all around the world. However, for this role we are seeking someone who lives in the UK and a commutable distance to London for team meet-ups, client meetings and attending events.
Flexible working – work around the school pick-up, after you evening swim or you’ve walked the dog – you decide.
Flexible holiday policy – we believe in the importance of good mental health and family time. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Contributing to tackling the most pressing crises of our time – with a great team.
Part Time, 3 days per week or equivalent, to include either a Monday or Friday. Hours are flexible, as long as the majority is during the working day.
Basic Salary £40k pro rata, plus commission.
 

We're looking for someone to join us and be a great part of the JUST ONE Tree team.

JUST ONE Tree is uncomfortably aware of the lack of diversity in the environmental sector and we’re not ok with it. We know we’ll be even stronger and more effective in powering change if we are a more diverse team.

All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, national origin, disability, age or any other grounds.

How to Apply:

Please email your CV (no more than 3 pages) and a covering letter detailing why you are interested in the role, your relevant experience and how you think you meet the requirements. Applicants that do not send through a CV and covering letter, will not be considered.
