Fundraising Lead  (Part-time, fixed-term contract)

Peers for the Planet (P4P) is the House of Lords cross-party climate and biodiversity action group bringing together over 160 members of the Lords to put climate change and biodiversity loss at the top of the political agenda. Since our launch in 2020 we’ve seen exciting momentum, building cross-party collaboration and winning world-leading legislative changes to  embed climate and nature requirements in areas as diverse as financial markets, pensions, energy, health, skills, R&D, built environment and much more.

A combination of seed funding and subsequent grants has enabled the organisation to flourish. Following a successful start-up phase, P4P is established as a valued, trusted and highly effective specialist in the climate policy landscape. Fundraising to support and sustain our objectives for the future is a top priority over the coming year.

This is a critical role for us to help realise a sustainable future for a unique organisation which punches above its weight in impact and which offers a flexible and warm working culture. The position is being offered on an initial 9 month contract but if we can find someone able to deliver on key objectives, we have every intention of extending the role and cementing it into our leadership team.

The role will cover:

Fundraising priorities:

• Develop/operationalise a fundraising strategy, leveraging the best return on investment of fundraising activity for the organisation and, where necessary, diversifying funding sources
• Along with the Director and Board, hold responsibility for meeting fundraising targets, including securing a mix of new grants/donors at the £10k-£250k+ level.
• Craft and coordinate compelling funding bids, drawing on the expertise of staff

Managing funder engagement:

• Coordinate a programme of engagement and internal systems/processes needed to nurture and steward a range of current and potential funder/donor relationships
• Work closely with the Board and staff to understand and build on pre-existing relationships with donors, Trustees and senior leaders at relevant trusts and foundations
• Undertake prospect research to identify new potential funders
• Deepen existing connections with the broader fundraising community, both within the climate/nature funders community but also in related/overlapping sectors
• Work with the Policy and Communications Lead to ensure that P4P’s organisational comms are compelling and meaningful for a broad spectrum of potential grant makers or donors
• Organise fundraising events

Insight & opportunity:

• Maintain latest insights on trends and issues, as well as on specific grant opportunities and other potential income streams, both in the climate funding sector and related/overlapping policy areas (health, finance, science, skills etc)
• Develop and maintain a thorough understanding of the opportunities for P4P to drive positive change for climate and nature in order to identify new funding opportunities

Operations & finance:

• In collaboration with our Finance and Operations Manager, develop and maintain a thorough understanding of organisational budgets, funding gaps, resourcing requirements, and income targets in the short, medium and long term
• Coordinate reporting and monitoring for all grants and lead on maintaining our funder database
• Set up and lead the preparation (e.g. briefings) for meetings with current and potential funders, and ensure timely follow up
• Lead internal fundraising meetings with relevant colleagues/directors to support development, implementation and evaluation of our fundraising plans
• Take responsibility for internal training to embed fundraising skills across the team

Skills and experience

• Long-term experience of developing and delivering fundraising strategies and functions with an established track record of meeting fundraising goals

• Exceptional writing, editing and presentation skills; able to communicate with precision and in an engaging style
• Evidence of analytical skills and ability to think innovatively and creatively about funding opportunities, within political and other restraints
• Strong relationship and influencing skills, with evidence of ability to persuade and negotiate at a senior level
• Evidence of ability to respond with energy and speed to new and unexpected opportunities
• Strong understanding of fundraising regulation, governance and compliance, and of diverse giving models
• Strong process, planning, database management, budget and monitoring skills
• Commitment to P4P’s mission and to using your skillset for the good of people and planet

Experience: Min.7 years+ relevant experience

Salary: circa. £70,000 p.a. FTE, dependent on experience 

Start Date: Asap (negotiable)

Equality, diversity and inclusion: We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background, and we believe that we will be stronger and more effective as an organisation if our team represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skillsets.

We want job applicants to have a positive experience and are keen to draw out the best in everyone.  For those experiencing challenging financial circumstances, we can reimburse applicants' travel expenses for in-person interviews.

You’ll need a solid understanding of computer fundamentals, and ideally direct experience of user support. You’ll need working knowledge of Windows. And you’ll need to be broadly familiar with the Google Workspace: Google Mail / Calendar / Drive.

We are looking for someone who shares our values and embodies the Humanists UK working culture, which is ambitious, driven, and focused as well as collaborative, inclusive, and trusting. 

You'll have good interpersonal skills, be a great team player, and be able to deliver an excellent IT support service to our People. 

What you’ll be doing

You will start with offering IT support to all our People, and providing organisational support to our IT team. Your domain will span our London HQ and the distributed network of staff, celebrants, consultants, and volunteers who keep our organisation running.

You will meet daily with the Director of IT to triage and keep track of the support needs, including larger projects. You will take ownership of our issue tracking systems (we use Jira and Notion, unless you can convince us otherwise) and keep them organised and current.

You will be the first point of contact for support issues. You will handle the first level of support yourself for standard issues: resetting passwords, and similar. After you’ve settled in, we will skill you up on our CRM tools, website, and other areas - so that you can support the highest priority areas. We will work with you based on your strengths, interests, and career development needs.

You will help manage inventory, and help with budgeting. You will also help with writing documentation. Later on, you will determine training needs across the organisation and assist in providing training sessions.

You will be in our London office at least 2 days a week, looking after the office IT environment by keeping it organised, tidy, and documented. You will be handling some of the physical infrastructure for the office network too. You don’t need high-level networking skills, but you need to understand the concepts of routers/switches/wireless access points - and be able to do basic troubleshooting on standard network issues. If you don’t have a Network+ qualification or similar (not a requirement), we’ll get you working towards one right away.

This is a great job for new graduates, or anyone wanting to get into the nuts and bolts of charity IT. We will work to your strengths and skill you up in areas you are interested in. 

You’ll need to be someone who is self-motivated, efficient, and who takes real pride in their work. You’ll show patience and understanding when discussing tickets and needs brought to the IT team by non-technical colleagues, exploring the nuts and bolts of how their areas of the organisation work.

Humanists UK is an interesting place to work: the tasks are varied, and no day is the same. We need someone able to roll with the needs of the moment. There is also a lot of flexibility to use modern systems and leave your mark.
