Job Summary
Amnesty International UK (AIUK) has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they are denied.

Do you want to use your skills, knowledge and experience to help change the world? You could be our new Philanthropy Lead.

About the role

The Philanthropy Lead is responsible for implementing the Major Donor team strategy, securing 4, 5 and 6 figure gifts for Amnesty International's work in the UK and globally.

Through implementation of the major donor strategy, the Philanthropy Lead will utilise their own portfolio of donors and work with the Philanthropy Team Manager and Prospect Researcher to identify new prospects.

The post-holder will ensure effective cultivation and stewardship of donors and prospects, including co-ordination of high-level stewardship events, to retain existing support and secure new sources of funding.

The role may be for you if:

You're skilled in communication and relationship management. Enthusiastic and driven, you're well organised and someone with a proven ability to hit targets.
You can direct donor meetings and communications, getting to the core of what motivates someone to support Amnesty International with a large gift.
You collaborate and positively contribute to an inclusive culture.
You have a good knowledge of managing, or supporting, high net worth events and coordinating colleagues and volunteers.
You have an ability to manage and prioritise a demanding workload and to work to tight, and sometimes conflicting, deadlines.
You have excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to develop tailored and compelling cases for support and funder reporting.

Our Commitment to you
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) are at the core of our values.

We want to be an organisation that tackles structural inequality and prejudice as well as be an actively anti-racist organisation.

This means taking a meaningful and equitable approach to supporting and developing you and others during your time with us.

New colleagues receive 27 days leave annually (29 after five years), as well as bank holidays (pro-rated for part time).

2-5% employee pension contributions are matched at 6-9% and we offer 6 months full pay for family leave. We offer flexible working such as compressed work patterns and job shares. See more details of our benefits here.
