Contract: Permanent
Reporting to: Head of Development
Responsible for: Occasional consultants or volunteers

Deadline: 8th January 2025
Conciliation Resources
Conflict is difficult, complex and political. The world urgently needs to find different ways to respond. Conciliation Resources is an international organisation committed to stopping violent conflict and creating more peaceful societies. We work with people impacted by war and violence, bringing diverse voices together to make change that lasts. For 30 years, we have been making peace possible. We currently have over 70 full and part-time staff members, working mainly out of the London and Australian offices. We work with over 70 locally-based and international partners worldwide. Conciliation Resources is deeply committed to keeping people safe from harm, whether they are personnel or those who come into contact with our work.
Communications and Development Team
The Development Team sits within a wider Communications and Development Team, which consists of four members of staff at different levels, who work across a range of activities. The wider Team has two dedicated staff members currently focused on donor relationship management and fundraising, and two on communications.
The Development function is responsible for management of Conciliation Resources’ strategic funders, the generation of unrestricted income and providing fundraising support to the wider organisation. The majority of funding currently comes from government grants and this will remain a key focus, with some time also spent on reacting to opportunities for new funding streams which present themselves – such as trusts and foundations, and to a lesser extent, high-value individual donors and corporations.
The Communications function has oversight over all areas of organisational communications including the website and digital communications, branding, media relations and production of content.
Job Purpose
The purpose of this role is to help generate funding for CR as an organisation, and its component teams.
