Are you a seasoned fundraiser who has experience of securing six-figure gifts?

We’re looking for a Principal Gifts Manager, who will be responsible for developing and maintaining meaningful relationships with those whose generous contributions make a transformational impact on the work we do.

As Principal Gifts Manager, you will:

• Build and manage relationships with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families to secure six- and seven-figure multi-year gifts.
• Develop tailored cultivation, solicitation and stewardship strategies that deliver exceptional donor experiences and long-term engagement.
• Identify and progress new principal gift prospects, strengthening the pipeline and contributing to long-term income growth.

Interviews for this role are provisionally scheduled for 12th June 2026, and will take place on Teams.

To be successful in this role, you’ll need proven experience of securing six- and seven- figure gifts, from cultivation and stewardship through to “making the ask”.

You’ll be highly organised, proactive, and collaborative, and thrive while working in a fast paced environment. A passion for the work we do is essential.
