Senior Philanthropy Manager
United Kingdom (with flexible and hybrid working)
The Organisation
We are the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.
Right now, our ocean is at a tipping point. We’re polluting our waters and destroying precious habitats. We're harming the species that live there. This is reducing the ocean's ability to help fight the climate crisis. While a third of UK seas are protected on paper, less than 1% are well managed. We are determined to change this. Using people-powered action and with science on our side, we defend habitats and species, working with communities, businesses and governments to encourage ocean-based climate action solutions across the UK.
We are now looking for a Senior Philanthropy Manager to join us on a permanent basis, working 28-35 hours per week.
The Benefits
- Salary of up to £44,000 per annum (pro rata for part-time)
- Annual leave starting at 25 days per year (pro rata for part-time), plus Bank Holidays (we also close between Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
- 6% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
- Sick pay at full-pay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at half-pay (after probation ends)
- Great work life balance through flexible and in many cases, remote working
- Support for your health and wellbeing with a programme of activities plus an employee assistance programme for you and the people who live with you
This is an incredible opportunity for a high calibre fundraising professional with experience securing six-figure gifts to make a real difference in the world.
You'll be at the forefront of securing vital funds for our mission, using your skills to drive meaningful change for our oceans and make a lasting difference. What’s more, this is the perfect opportunity to add environmental initiatives to your areas of expertise!
We’ve got a clear vision and culture at MCS: we are brave, we have integrity, we are a community, we are credible, we are positive and we are solutions-focused. If these values resonate with you, then you can help us to protect our ocean and all that depend on it; the wildlife, the people and, now, our planet.
The Role
As our Senior Philanthropy Manager, you will build and sustain our major gifts programme, driving our income stream and ensuring our work can continue.
Specifically, you will secure long-term relationships with high net-worth donors, capitalising on environmental philanthropy.

You will build a prospect pipeline of donors, develop compelling, well-defined cases for support, and undertake long-term, innovative and impactful projects and themed areas of work.
Additionally, you will:
- Create bespoke stewardship plans for all current supporters
- Develop a calendar of engagement opportunities and stewardship events
- Build relationships which support peer-to-peer fundraising
- Lead on implementing the operational plan for major gifts
- Provide leadership and direction to the major gifts programme
