Philanthropy Manager

£43.5k per annum
Full-time
Hours: 28 hrs per week. Permanent
Salary : £43,500 pro rata (£34,800 actual)
Location : Hybrid - Our offices are based in London, and there is a high degree of flexibility.

 
We are seeking an ambitious and relationship-driven Philanthropy Manager to play a key role in growing our major donor and philanthropic income. Building on a strong foundation that currently generates over £150,000 annually through our donor-giving circles and major gifts programme, you will develop and manage relationships with high-value supporters, philanthropists, and high-net-worth individuals.

 
Working closely with senior leadership and key stakeholders, you will identify, cultivate, solicit, and steward major donors, creating meaningful engagement opportunities and delivering exceptional supporter experiences. Through strategic relationship management, compelling impact reporting, and proactive pipeline development, you will secure significant philanthropic income and help drive the charity’s future growth and impact.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record in major donor fundraising, strong relationship-building skills, and the ability to balance strategic planning with hands-on delivery to achieve ambitious income targets.

 
About Missing People

 
Somebody goes missing in the UK every 90 seconds. Missing People exists to ease the heartache experienced by those missing someone, and to help people who are away from home find their way back to safety. Our vision is for every missing child, adult and family left behind to find help, hope and a safe way to reconnect. We are a non-judgemental, highly skilled team of staff and volunteers working for everyone who needs us. We provide free, confidential support, help and advice by phone, email, text and live chat. We coordinate a UK-wide network of people, businesses and media to join the search for the estimated 170,000 people who go missing each year. Missing People aims to put people with lived experience at the heart of our work, amplifying their voices to achieve change.

 
About You

 
You will be a forward-looking and collaborative Philanthropy Manager. You will have a vital role in growing philanthropy at Missing People, helping to connect committed supporters with work that can change lives and bring hope to people affected by disappearance.

 
You will help shape the next stage of our philanthropy programme, building trusted relationships with philanthropists and supporters who want to make a tangible difference. Your work will directly support our ability to reach more missing people, families and loved ones at moments of crisis, while helping us build the sustainable income needed to deliver our long-term strategy. A key part of your role will be helping donors see and understand the difference their support makes, translating our impact into compelling, personalised communications and stewardship that inspire long-term commitment.

 
You will need to have:

  • Experience in developing and monitoring the implementation of fundraising strategies, budgets and operational plans;
  • Experience of working with high-net-worth individuals and securing five and six-figure gifts;
  • Significant experience within a philanthropy / major donor fundraising role, with a proven track record of developing relationships and exceeding fundraising targets;
  • Ability to develop and drive forward new projects and initiatives, taking the lead and/or working collaboratively with colleagues;
  • Ability to manage high profile people, acting with a high level of professionalism at all times;
  • Outstanding communication skills, both verbal and written, with an ability to relate with a diverse group of individuals (e.g. executives, high net worth individuals and community leaders);
  • Right to work in the UK.


 
What you will get in return

 
Missing People is a friendly and supportive place to work – it’s a welcoming, caring organisation which really makes a difference to people affected by the issue of missing throughout the UK. We offer generous paid holidays, a range of enhanced family friendly benefits and are happy to talk about flexible working in most roles.
