Are you talented in identifying funding streams and achieving successful income generation strategies? Do you enjoy writing bids, whilst developing new ideas that can increase income? Have you had experience increasing numbers of organisational partners?
Then this could be the role for you. At the Digital Poverty Alliance, we are looking for our new Development Manager. We need someone who can lead our development function whilst working alongside our CEO, managing a range of fundraising initiatives whilst also using sales techniques to raise awareness of our Industry Forum and school Donation Management Service (DMS).
This is an exciting, high profile and fast-paced role, joining our small team and working alongside partners, schools and our wider stakeholders to effect real change for people. You will report directly to the Chief Executive.

This will include supporting set up at conferences and events, and may include overnight stays. A driving licence is not essential.
You will be ready to “roll up your sleeves” and get involved in other projects at times, as part of a small and dedicated team, and take on administrative and logistical tasks.
Key responsibilities
- Writing grant applications, bids and proposals to corporates, public sector and third sector organisations as part of formal and informal fundraising application processes.
- Secure new memberships to the Digital Poverty Alliance Industry Forum, a corporate membership scheme for businesses seeking to take action on digital poverty, working with the CEO and colleagues leading on policy and public affairs.
- Lead on bringing in new client schools for the DMS, growing the network of schools and families supported by and supporting this programme.
- Lead the account management process for schools who are part of our Donation Management Service (DMS) programme, retaining existing customers.

- Work with the CEO to spot new opportunities for initiatives with an eye to developing new corporate partnerships and sponsorships, whilst working within the resources of a small organisation.
- Identifying grant routes, commissioning opportunities, potential consultancy clients and donor opportunities, including prospect research.
- Iterate our fundraising strategy for increasing income, including developing new ideas to drive revenue.
- Provide support to the CEO who manages the largest strategic partnerships.
- Contribute to marketing, PR, social media and related communications activities in relation to partner activities and digital fundraising, including leading the marketing strategy for the DMS.
- Prepare high quality collateral and assets to support partnership working, including presentations and reports.
- Work with colleagues to role model best practice in partnership development.
- Project manage initiatives related to fundraising, using recognised tools and techniques.
