<Work for Rays of Sunshine>

Philanthropy Manager

This new role is an exciting opportunity to play a key part in the growth of our Major Gifts and Partnerships Team. You’ll take the lead in stewarding our current portfolio of generous philanthropists, while also building a pipeline of new supporters, securing significant gifts to power our work.

Ideally, you’ll have at least three years’ experience in philanthropy fundraising, preferably at manager level — although we’re open to hearing from those ready to step up. You’ll be able to demonstrate a strong track record of securing five and six figure gifts and building lasting, meaningful donor relationships.

You’ll also help shape the creation of a new calendar of cultivation and engagement events, working closely with the Special Events team.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of an inspiring and passionate team making a real difference in children’s lives.
• Lead on an exciting period of growth and innovation.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for professional development.

If you’re ready to take on a rewarding management role and help shape the future of fundraising at Rays of Sunshine, we’d love to hear from you!
