Could you be the person we are looking for to lead our philanthropy, business development and income generation as we head into an exciting future for The London Community Foundation?

We are looking for a new Director of Philanthropy ready to play their part in creating positive change for communities across London through place-based philanthropy.

The Director of Philanthropy is a senior, externally focused role for an experienced philanthropy leader who can strengthen the organisation’s profile, open doors and secure significant new philanthropic income across London’s philanthropic landscape. The Director of Philanthropy will lead new business development activity with a particular focus on high-net-worth individuals, corporates, professional advisers and intermediaries and will manage the pipeline of new donor opportunities. Reporting to the CEO, the Director of Philanthropy will provide senior leadership for an ambitious, confident and disciplined approach to business development and income growth.

The Director of Philanthropy will have significant experience in philanthropy and fundraising with a proven track record of cultivating, pitching to and securing high-value relationships with audiences such as high-net-worth individuals, corporates, professional advisers, or wealth managers. You will be able to demonstrate experience and knowledge of philanthropy, donor advised funds, corporate giving and charitable giving routes and will be an impressive relationship builder and networker. Crucially, you will be able to develop compelling propositions for busy audiences that draw attention to the work of London’s most impactful charities and community groups, and how philanthropy can strengthen that impact.

If this sounds like you, then we'd love to hear from you today.

Applications close on 10th September.
