Reporting to the Director of Finance & Business Development, you’ll provide strategic leadership to the Business Development function, inspiring a talented team, building high-value partnerships and identifying new opportunities for growth.

- Build and nurture influential relationships with high-net-worth individuals, corporate partners, trusts and foundations, including those capable of making significant five- to seven-figure gifts.
- Lead capital fundraising strategies to support major organisational projects.
- Use market intelligence, supporter insight and emerging trends to develop compelling propositions and maintain competitive advantage.
- Lead, inspire and develop a high-performing Business Development team, creating a culture of ambition, innovation and accountability.
- Work closely with the Executive Leadership Team, Board of Trustees and senior stakeholders to shape and deliver strategic opportunities.
- Drive performance through effective use of data, technology, CRM and commercial insight.
- Ensure robust governance, risk management and regulatory compliance across the function.
