The Children’s Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 130 years. We run local services that support children when they are at their most vulnerable and in desperate need of help. We’re there for children, every step of the way.
This role sits within our Social Impact Group and you will work closely with the Director of Philanthropy & Partnerships, AD of Philanthropy (Principal Gifts), Major Appeal Programme Director, Executive Director Social Impact and senior leaders at all levels to identify and access new and existing networks of wealth, opportunity and influence.
Our step-change in impact with children will be achieved by a step-change in our philanthropy & partnerships: as a Senior Principal Gifts Manager, you’ll play a crucial role in this transformation through strategic development and personal leadership of principal gift donors that contribute significant 6-7+figure gifts and support

In order to be successful in this role, you must have:

• Demonstrated success in managing a high value and diverse portfolio of principal gift donors that include complex relationships

• Knowledge of legal, regulatory and ethical environment of principal gift fundraising

The Children’s Society runs over 100 local services that help thousands of young people who desperately need our support, and we campaign to get laws and policies changed to make children’s lives happier and safer.
Every day we’re changing the lives of children in this country for the better – and with your help, tomorrow we can be there for even more.
