Can you help deliver a philanthropy strategy at one of the country’s biggest charities?

If so, you could be the Philanthropy Development Manager we are looking for! 

About the role 

As a Philanthropy Development Manager, you'll manage a portfolio of 100-150 prospects and donors, cultivating relationships to secure gifts or pledges of £25,000 to £100,000. You'll work closely with the Head of Major Gifts, involving volunteers and staff across British Heart Foundation (BHF) as required.

At BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average.

• A skilled and curious fundraiser, who can develop clear and creative plans to achieve goals.
• Optimistic and positive, with excellent communication skills and able to inspire confidence in donors as well as senior internal and external stakeholders.
• An excellent writer, with a keen eye for detail who can transform complex project information into compelling stories and content for a high-value audience.
• Proficient at using data and evidence to monitor KPIs, track trends and help us make informed decisions.
• Driven and ambitious to deliver our high-value income strategy.
• Resilient, self-motivated, and able to manage and prioritise a demanding workload.

To realise our ambitions, we need to raise significant additional funds to accelerate and drive critical research. Raising funds through philanthropy is a key area of our income generating strategy for 2030. 

We value and respect every individual’s unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day.  
 
Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed.
