This is a Permanent, Full Time vacancy that will close in 14 days at 23:59 BST.
The Vacancy
We are seeking to recruit a Philanthropy Manager. The Philanthropy Manager will steward existing and develop new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and philanthropic individuals or entities to contribute to raising funds to achieve Saferworld strategic aims.
Working closely with the Head of Funding and Programme Development and the Funding Officer, you will play a lead role in coordinating across Saferworld to implement our strategy to grow non-institutional income to support preventing violent conflict and building a safer world. Your focus will be charitable trusts and foundations where you will manage a portfolio of current funding partners, cultivate other priority relationships in collaboration with senior staff, and identify new funding partnership opportunities which are aligned with our values. You will also ensure Saferworld is well-positioned to receive philanthropic funding from high-net-worth individuals or via wealth advisors or Donor Advised Funds in the future.
Working with project and grant managers, you will ensure we submit high quality proposals and reports to our philanthropic funders. Working with colleagues in Communications, Regional Programmes, Policy and Advocacy and in the Senior Operations Team (SOT), identify and maximise opportunities to strengthen funding relationships and widen our networks in person and online.
A much smaller proportion of your time will be spend overseeing individual donations with the Funding Officer and colleagues in Communications, and stewarding higher value givers as required. You will also lead on managing a small number of gifts in wills.
Closing Date: 10 July 2026
