We fight for UK seas to get the protections they deserve through highly visible campaigns and detailed policy interventions to secure measurable changes to rebuild and maintain ocean abundance and health. We act as a vital public-policy interface - raising the profile of our issues through campaigns, science, communications, and expeditions, and directly influencing policymakers and politicians. We are now at a pivotal moment of growth, impact, and development. We have delivered meaningful progress in our first full three years of operations, helping secure major victories to protect and restore UK seas, including protecting huge areas of our seas from industrial fishing and stopping new offshore oil and gas expansion. Working closely with our international team, we are now evolving our organisation and campaigns to deliver even greater impact in the next 3-5 years, underpinned by strengthened funder relationships. Our small, experienced, and highly motivated team are based in London and Cornwall, coming together both digitally and in person as part of developing and delivering our ambitious campaign strategy to restore ocean biodiversity and abundance. We're proud of the team we're creating here in the UK, and we'd love for you to join us. Job Purpose The Development Manager will manage our fundraising and partnerships portfolio, supporting the stewardship of relationships with some of the world's biggest environmental foundations and philanthropists. They will manage new and existing relationships, prepare grant applications and reporting, and evolve our outreach to support the growth and diversification of our fundraising opportunities.

They will demonstrate a strategic mindset, alongside strong organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail. They must have experience in growing and diversifying income streams and converting new interest into long-term, sustainable, support. The position will be hybrid, based three days per week (Tues-Thurs) from Oceana's UK offices in Newquay, Cornwall or Paddington, London. Regular national, and occasional international, travel will be required to meet team members and stakeholders in geographically diverse locations, including Washington, DC. Responsibilities Manage relationships and reporting to existing funders alongside the international development team and Executive Director.

Manage successful grant applications and budgets, co-ordinating and collaborating with the international development team. Work closely with the finance, policy, communications, and campaigns team to ensure all relevant stakeholders are consulted in grant applications and reporting. Manage and deliver timely reporting, communications, and updates to funding partners and stakeholders. Manage and develop other existing UK income streams, including mass giving alongside the communications team. Identify, develop and manage additional UK income opportunities, including with smaller trusts and foundations. Collaborate with the Director of Finance and People, and international development and budgeting teams, to manage income forecasts and grant financial reporting. Maintain appropriate development records and database for all UK activity. Ensure compliance with UK fundraising regulations and best practice. Develop and manage key fundraising and partnerships events. Work with Executive Director to develop our outreach with funders at international events.

Work with the SLT and Board to identify the major choices, risks and milestones required to move from the current phase to the next. Ensure the organisation remains focused on the right strategic priorities and digital development, and does not become distracted by too many competing demands. 2. Growth, partnerships and momentum Build and steward the partnerships that will drive the next phase of scale, including schools, MATs, funders, corporate & digital partners and other strategic allies. Strengthen the organisation's external profile and reputation as a rigorous, joyful and increasingly scalable digital literacy charity.
