This is no ordinary fundraising job! We wanted to call this position ‘Head of Minor Gifts’, but we worried it wouldn't hit your radar during your job search.

At One World Together we're turning the tables on traditional systems of finance for global development to get more funds, on better terms, directly to communities in the UK and globally. We’ve designed a new, affordable and citizen-powered model of philanthropy that dreams of (and is realising!) a community-centred future driven by passionate and committed Global Citizens.

We are seeking an experienced, part-time Head of Individual Giving to help build our small but growing movement into a thriving community moving towards financial sustainability. Alongside building a successful movement for Global Citizenship, you will foster long-term supporters through deepening our Global Citizens’ and donor journeys. You will support our income-generation through organising fundraising events and activities, spotting potential philanthropic and business partnerships and helping to build our long-term strategies for achieving organisational sustainability.

The post is one year in the first instance, with the hope that a successful campaign will secure the position into the future.

Role Description:

We are excited to grow our Global Citizenship membership and Solidarity Funds through nation-wide community building – can you help us do this?

We are looking for someone who shares our values of trust, solidarity and equity, who is proactive and imaginative in their approach to fundraising. One who is passionate about a fairer system and who is ready to nurture a new community-centred movement founded on the power of microdonations at scale.

This role will be our first dedicated fundraising position at One World Together. As the Head of Individual Giving you will be responsible for:

• Designing a nation-wide community building stragegy to grow our Global Citizens membership and Solidarity Fund;

• Deepening our Global Citizen donor journey and building long-term relationships with our members and other supporters;

• Organising One World Together virtual, in-person and/or hybrid events;

• Supporting the development of our ongoing ‘business for good’ campaign and working with the broader team to pursue other forms of fundraising as they arise;

•  Managing a community-building and fundraising budget.

We are a purpose- and values-driven organisation and are looking forward to meeting our perfect match in these areas. We want all interested candidates to know that we are not a target-driven organisation or one driven by the desire for endless growth. We have thoughtfully designed a model that ‘builds in’ financial sustainability and organisational stability, but recognise that we need to invest in a national community building initiative to reach those goals and our future community-centred impact potential.

The Values, Skills, and Experience We’re Looking For

• 2+ years experience in leading, designing and implementing local or national fundraising community building strategies and demonstrable understanding of their reach and/or impacts;

• An understanding of and experience in developing long-term supporter commitment through regular giving and partnerships with donors;

• A strong experience of managing fundraising campaigns through different social media platforms and digital marketing strategies;

• An understanding of how to reach different segments of the population with fundraising messaging, including young people;

• Experience with CRM software (we use Beacon) and Mailchimp for managing campaigns and donor communications;

• Project-management experience, including planning and budget management;

• A strong commitment to our values of trust, solidarity and equity – and an understanding of why these are so important in a fairer funding system;

• Exhibits a motivation for innovation, action and a belief in a better world – and the role of collective action in achieving this;

• Action-oriented, can thrive independently but also enjoys inspiring, coordinating and working with other team members;

• Adaptable and willing to learn in a dynamic environment, as this is a new role in a young organisation that may require flexibility and creative problem-solving.

Desired skills and experience

We don’t expect you to have all the skills and experience on this list. Plus, we want you to learn new skills in this role. If you are on the fence, please err on the side of applying.

• Relevant qualification in fundraising

• Knowledge of global development and the funding challenges in the sector.

• Experience with community engagement, fundraising, engaging with major donors, and grant writing.

• Brilliant people skills honed through experience working in hospitality, retail, finance, HR, or logistics.

• A willingness to travel, within and outside the UK. We are looking to grow our UK community of Global Citizens in the first instance, so we’d prefer you were UK-based.

Why we think this is an amazing role for YOU!

• Unique opportunity to accelerate your career in a transformative fundraising role, observing your social impact day-to-day.

• You’ll be joining a smart and dedicated team making progress on some of the most pressing funding questions worldwide in building global solidarity, strengthening community impacts and making positive change (see One World Together).

• You’ll not only be part of a global innovation making positive social change happen, but you’ll also play a key role in our dream of creating a community-centred future and a new community of Global Citizens.

• You’ll have the unique opportunity to help shape OWT’s fundraising strategy and practices from the ground up, allowing you to make significant impact and innovate in the field of community-driven philanthropy.

• You’ll be part of a team rooted in values over growth, getting the organisational foundations right for an equitable future.

• You’ll be a crucial part of building our community across a growing network of Global Citizens, supporters, and our incredible partners in Kenya, the UK and Zambia.

• You’ll work for a team that lives its values! We take a trust-based approach to working arrangements, allowing you to set your own working hours and work remotely from your own location.

• Generous training budget (£1,000) with flexibility to choose the right skills development for you in this role.

• Be part of our internal growth plans and our future fundraising strategy development. As OWT expands there may be opportunities for professional growth and advancement within the organisation.

• You’ll be part of deep-rooted social change that is already having huge impacts for our community partners - what’s not to like!?
