This is an incredible opportunity for a senior level fundraiser who excels at delivering high value funding agreements from large complex funders in the public sector to play a key role in securing protection for the natural world we all depend on, before it is too late.
This is a vital role in the fight for our world. As Director of Public Sector Partnerships, you will raise our profile and secure significant funds through public sector partnerships with the UK Government and other institutions. Critically, you will provide strategic direction to this area of fundraising.
As Director of Public Sector Partnerships, you will lead a coordinated organisational approach to engaging with public sector donors and accessing Government/Institutions at a senior level. As a member of our senior leadership team, you will collaborate with senior level colleagues to successfully implement our mission to save the planet. This will involve identifying significant public sector funding opportunities as well as engaging with senior Government staff and developing relationships with key public sector stakeholders. We will look to you to work in partnership with funding and consortium partners and attend events, meetings and other networking opportunities. You will also lead project teams in developing funding proposals from concept, through to submission of new funding bids, ensuring they meet strategy and relevant standards. You will act as a source of expertise to the organisation too, providing advice and guidance when needed.
For this key position, you must have a significant track record of securing high value funding agreements from large complex funders in the public sector. You will demonstrate the ability to network and develop strong working relationships with Government and significant public sector donors too. This will have given you an in-depth understanding of Government and institutional funding landscape, especially in relation to the environmental sector. Comfortable overseeing large scale and complex applications to Government and statutory funding bodies, you will be effective at inspiring and motivating high performing teams. You will also possess excellent project management, interpersonal and communication skills.
