Senior Philanthropy Adviser

Start Date: As soon as possible

Duration of Contract: Permanent

Probation Period: Six months

Gross Salary: £49,200 per annum

Location: Fauna & Flora, Cambridge

Over the next five years, Fauna & Flora aspires to enhance its global impact through
investment, growth, visibility and influence. An essential part of this will be through greatly
expanding awareness and visibility of its programmes among UK and global target audiences and
by exponentially increasing its fundraising efforts and results.

A key and growing audience for Fauna & Flora in the UK and globally is high net worth
individuals and corporates, and specifically those who are willing to give high value
unrestricted support to our global conservation work. As a result, we are launching a
transformational fundraising plan to 2030, and we are seeking an experienced Senior
Philanthropy Adviser to help us meet our ambitious targets, securing high value donations from
our existing networks and helping us to reach out to new contacts and networks to build our
pipeline for support.

You will be focussed on developing a portfolio of high value supporters in the UK, but you will
also develop strong working relationships across high value fundraising activities in the USA
and Australia, as well as more widely across the fundraising communications teams, and also
with senior leadership including the CEO and with our volunteers including trustees.

To this end we are seeking a self-motivated individual to join our Philanthropy team in this
role. The role requires an individual with passion and drive to inspire and motivate donors to
give significant funding to our cause, but also with the ability to listen and understand
prospect motivations, in order to build lasting relationships. You will have expert technical
and professional skills in major donor fundraising and a proven ability to develop fundraising
strategy for high level donors.

Your key focus in this role is on building and maintaining high-value donor relationships, and
you will be supported in this by our expert Research & Insight team, providing donor and
prospect research and briefings and inputting into strategy, and our expert Philanthropy
Engagement team, who develop and manage various engagement opportunities for major supporter
and prospects, from events, trips and newsletters to bespoke proposals and reports.

You will enjoy working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, where the ability to respond
swiftly to changing organisational and team needs is paramount. In return, we offer the
opportunity to work for a ground-breaking organisation at the forefront of global conservation,
with generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance, and life insurance.

Our offices are located in The David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, just a few
minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the
central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants

The closing date for applications is 28 April 2024.
