Interview date: Circa 9th September
Contract: This is a fixed term contract opportunity for 14 months, covering maternity leave.
We are looking for an engaging, driven and results-oriented leader to lead the Philanthropy department, within the Income & Engagement directorate at Alzheimer’s Society, on a fixed term maternity cover.
This is a hugely exciting time to work for the UK’s leading dementia charity. We have all the key success factors in place for significant, continued Philanthropy growth, from senior leadership buy-in to exciting fundable projects that drive towards our ambitious vision. Two ground-breaking treatments have also recently shown for the first time that it is possible to slow down the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, growing support in the field and opportunities to build on this success.
Philanthropy at the Society is made up of three specialist, but complementary, teams:
- Major Donors
- Trusts & Foundations
- Development Boards (currently two sector-based campaigns: in insurance and sport)
The team are expertly partnered by our Prospect Development, Impact Communications, and Special Events teams, to support and maximise opportunities throughout the engagement cycle, including proposition development and proposal writing for the biggest partnership opportunities.
The Philanthropy team is well-established, growing fast (76% income growth in 2023/24), and working to a new but clear growth strategy, so maintaining stability, unity and continued focus and drive to deliver on established priorities will be crucial for this interim period.
In this role, you will ensure the Philanthropy Strategy to 2030 is delivered to, particularly the outlined 12-month priorities, leading a brilliant team of specialist fundraisers. You will support and sponsor the development of new long-term, transformational partnerships with philanthropic partners, for programmes of work spanning critical dementia support services and cutting-edge research.
The role will entail significant cross-department and cross-directorate working, collaborating with peers and colleagues at all levels across the organisation to deliver on the Philanthropy strategy and ensure a pipeline of fundable propositions.
