We are seeking a Trusts and Philanthropy Manager to join our London team.
Movember is embarking on the delivery of an exciting and ambitious 5-year organisational strategy, with Partnerships and Philanthropy playing a central role. The partnerships team is responsible for generating income from corporates, commercial sponsors, charitable trusts and other institutional funders, with a renewed focus on building long term multifaceted and mutually beneficial partnerships.
The Trusts & Philanthropy Manager will support the wider team through a focus on Institutional funding and Major gifts and must have experience in high-value trust and foundation grants fundraising, including leading on applications and winning multi-year grants of five figures or higher.
This role is responsible for growing the year-round Institutional fundraising revenue in in the UK.
This will achieved by:
- Supporting Director of Partnerships in implementing a comprehensive year-round Trusts and Philanthropy strategy for UK and Europe
- Developing and managing a portfolio of high value prospects
- Developing a comprehensive funding calendar to ensure an always on approach to philanthropic funding opportunities
- Working closely with Impact teams to develop compelling case for support documents
- Working collaboratively with other Movember teams in the UK, Europe and in our other key markets, as well as with other Movember functions locally and globally
For this role, you’ll need:
- The ability to effectively communicate with all types of donor
- Successful track record of securing high-value Trust funding
- To work well under pressure and to deadlines, with excellent attention to detail
- Experience working in a customer facing environment
- Good organisation skills and ability to prioritise
- The ability to work in a fast-paced environment
- To be good team player

- Proven relationship management skills - specifically community management through leading technology platforms
Desirable:
- Excellent computer skills in Microsoft Office Packages (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook etc.)
- Experience working directly alongside content creators and talent managers.
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help raise millions for men’s health (not for a CEO’s bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We’ve funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less “one-size-fits-all”, and more specific to each patient’s needs.
We’re even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men’s health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men’s health.
GOOD VIBES:
The vibes aren’t just for Fridays – even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big’s about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.
Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it’s conga time.
GOOD CREW:
Let’s just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We’re all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who’ll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.
Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.
Our employee benefits include:
- Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working
- 13 weeks paid Parental Leave and 6 weeks annual leave
- Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)
- An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support
