Our Fundraising and Marketing team are looking for an exceptional colleague to join us on a maternity cover contract and drive high-value fundraising performance during a pivotal period for The King's Trust.
As we work towards our ambition of ending youth unemployment, we are transforming how we support young people in response to significant needs and evolving funding markets. This role will play a critical part in enabling that transformation by ensuring we have the funding propositions and ways of working that help turn this vision into reality.
You will work with senior leaders across Fundraising, Programme Development, and Delivery to identify and develop our highest-value and most transformational funding propositions, whilst continuously improving our portfolio of high-value funding propositions and ways of working through a strong understanding of both the funding market and organisational need.
You will bring a strong understanding of funding markets, sector trends, and high-value income streams, enabling you to shape a compelling, impact-led portfolio of funding propositions and a sector-leading stewardship programme.
Leading a high-performing team of specialists in propositions, proposals, and stewardship, you will guide your team to partner with fundraising colleagues across the UK to deliver efficient, effective, and high-quality fundraising.
If you enjoy working in a dynamic, ambitious environment that blends strategic thinking with operational excellence, are motivated by solving complex problems, succeeding in competitive funding markets, and are passionate about helping young people achieve their potential, this could be the role for you.
