About this role
Join the mission to protect our planet's future by becoming our Senior Grant Officer. Synchronicity Earth is a growing organisation with an expanding team, and we are now looking for an experienced Grant Administrator to take ownership of the grant-making process within the team and organisation, building on the structures already in place to ensure we are a supportive and dynamic place to work.
Our grant-making model is unique. We channel philanthropic donations from trusts and foundations, corporate foundations, corporates or individual donors through partners and grantees (identified by our in-house team of conservation experts who make up the ‘Research Team’), which are undertaking conservation work in those areas that most critically need support. The central core and operating costs of Synchronicity Earth are generously covered by the Synchronicity Foundation, which means that any donation we receive is disbursed out to the field without a management or administration fee taken. This enables the donor to have confidence that 100% of their funding is going out to the field and delivering impact.
Synchronicity Earth’s mission is clear: we blend passion and action to provide safe havens for endangered species, support communities living in harmony with nature, and turn conservation into a worldwide effort.

About us
Synchronicity Earth is a UK-based, global environmental charity which funds and supports organisations and individuals that aim to make our planet a better place to live for all its inhabitants.
We are a medium-sized charity which supports partners working to protect less well-known species and ecosystems around the world that receive less attention but face the greatest threats. We do this through our conservation Programmes, which identify, fund, and support organisations with a focus on: Amphibians, Asian Species, Congo Basin, Biocultural Diversity, Freshwater, and Ocean. We also support projects across two other areas: the More than Carbon initiative, a portfolio of climate and biodiversity projects targeted at corporate donors; and the Synchronicity Portfolio, which aims to foster systemic change to promote a greater focus on biodiversity conservation within different sectors. Our partners are mostly organisations embedded within their local communities, and often projects which also consider social impacts such as women’s health and empowerment, engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and sustainable livelihoods (e.g., small-scale fisheries) in addition to wildlife conservation.
Our workplace values and culture
We pride ourselves on having an open and inclusive culture. Our team supports each other and encourages new ideas and creativity to help us develop new projects and reach new audiences with our work. We aim to apply the same dedication to a flourishing diversity of people and wildlife on our planet through our programmes to our working environment and strive to make this environment open and inclusive for everyone. We recognise that the environment sector (and our organisation, as part of it) does not reflect the diversity of the global community it serves (particularly in terms of ethnic diversity) and has a long way to go to be as inclusive as possible to ensure people from all backgrounds and personal situations feel welcome in the workplace.
Reporting, location, and work hours
This position is a permanent position that is based in Synchronicity Earth offices in Central London, with the option for hybrid office/home working if the successful applicant wishes with a minimum of 3 days a week in the office (laptop would be provided for home working). During a 6-month probationary period we would require 4 days per week in the office. The successful candidate must be eligible to work in the UK until at least the end of 2028, we cannot accept applicants who require visa sponsorship for this role.

Inclusion is a priority throughout our workplace culture and is embedded in our recruitment process (we are actively still seeking to improve it through employee and candidate suggestions). For example, the first stage of recruitment will be anonymised to mitigate against unconscious bias. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds for this role, particularly non-graduates, and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements. Please let us know at any stage during the recruitment process if you have any accessibility requirements, we can accommodate for you, and which pronouns you would like to be referred to by.

If you meet the essential criteria for a role, you'll be guaranteed a first-stage assessment. In most cases, this will be a 20-minute interview held via Zoom, however, in the case of an extraordinary number of applicants, the first-stage candidates (including GIS) will receive a short assessment.

Director of Fundraising
Podium Analytics
London, UK
Full-Time and permanent role
Salary: c. £100,000 pa with flexibility for exceptional circumstances
Podium Analytics is a charity that was established in 2019 to create a world with more sport, less injury.
We were founded with the belief that, to see the full benefit of sports participation, more needs to be done to address the issue of youth and grassroots sport injury, which is an under-researched, under-resourced and often overlooked issue. Harnessing the power of data and research, and through education, influence and advocacy, we are creating a revolution in grassroots and youth sport, making players safer and more able to enjoy the sports they love for longer.
Our work so far has been underpinned by the generosity of our Founder and key major donors and private trusts, who believe in our unique position in the sporting world and ability to drive change. In order for us to achieve our mission and the long term impact that we are striving for, we need to build out and diversify our income base. This has led us to investing in this new Director of Fundraising role, and we are seeking an experienced leader to join us and help shape the next stage of our evolution.
You will be responsible for developing growth strategies, funding opportunities and donor relationships across a diverse portfolio of income streams. You will therefore need to bring experience of securing gifts and grants, ideally at the 6-figure level or more. To complement our existing activity, high-value Trusts & Foundations and corporate partnership experience would be a bonus.
A commitment to our cause will drive you, as you establish close working relationships with our CEO, Chairman, Trustees and senior management team, to enable the successful delivery of fundraising initiatives and drive opportunities forward. As a strategic operator with an entrepreneurial approach to your work, your track record of actively engaging with existing and potential supporters, and in developing and implementing comprehensive income generation strategies will underpin your ability to contribute to the strategic direction of the charity. As we are a small charity, this will begin as a very hands-on role and over time, you will have the opportunity to build your own team. You will therefore need to be comfortable with rolling up your sleeves, working in the detail without losing sight of the big picture, and navigating new or ambiguous areas with a positive and solutions-orientated mindset.
In return, you will have the support of a highly professional senior management team and an exceptional Board who are all committed to ensuring success in our fundraising endeavours. We are serious about our work, and also know how to have fun and celebrate success.
If this is the sort of environment you are looking for in your next career step and you thrive on working with passionate colleagues and supporters towards shared goals, we would like to hear from you. Please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates on +44 (0)20 3617 9240 or visit their website to download further details on the role.
Closing date for applications: 9AM on Monday, 9 September 2024
