    You will be joining a team with a strong track record of securing donations from a variety of supporters including visitors, philanthropic individuals, corporate supporters, charitable foundations and government.

    Championing prospect development and the value of data, you will play a key role in the leadership of the Fundraising Operations team, using your skillset to problem solve and identify opportunities, potential and blind spots with the data at hand.

    You will have a unique bird's eye view to analyse prospect and financial data to inform strategy and further amplify our fundraising activity.
