The ideal candidate will have:
A demonstrable track record of income generation through personally securing at least four figure major donor gifts from high-net-worth individuals.
Experience of developing a new pipeline of high-net-worth individual prospects and being pro-active in converting these to active donors.
Experience of delivering effective and practical fundraising strategies.
A sound understanding of high-net-worth fundraising techniques and processes. An ability to think and act strategically to move forward high net worth donor relationships, understanding their needs and motivations.
Ability to build rapport with new contacts, quickly and effortlessly. Strong and persuasive written and verbal communication skills, and an ability to listen.
High level of determination and resilience that, through innovative approaches, delivers exceptional results
Knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by children and young people.
A clear commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and demonstratable impact in this area.
