Major Donor Manager

At VSO we are passionate about ending poverty. Are you?

VSO is different from most organisations that fight poverty. Instead of sending money or food, we bring people together to share skills and knowledge.

Through our volunteers, we harness the talents, enthusiasm and skills of ordinary people to bring about lasting change. It is an exciting time for VSO as we have recently launched an ambitious new global strategy People First and fundraising has a crucial role in enabling us to deliver it.

VSO UK is seeking a Major Donor Manager who can help us grow our income from high net worth individuals in the years ahead. This is a great opportunity for a motivated individual with a passion for international development and experience of building relationships with senior/ high profile figures to join a friendly and ambitious team and help us to dramatically grow our income to reach more poor communities around the world.

With an excellent understanding of relationship based fundraising and hands-on fundraising abilities, you will help us generate income from a portfolio of existing and prospective donors. Results oriented, you will have strong interpersonal and management skills together with a flexible and proactive approach. Previous experience in major donor fundraising is highly desirable but not essential.

In return, this role offers a competitive salary, pension plan, and generous holiday entitlement opportunity to travel overseas and excellent professional development opportunities.

To apply please complete the Application Form and the Equal Opportunities Form. Please send this to recruitment@vso.org.uk on or before the indicated deadline.
