PHILANTHROPY MANAGER CMS already has individuals and trusts giving multi-year funding at significant levels. What it doesn't have, yet, is someone leading that work. That's this role. Location: Hybrid, Oxford (minimum 2 days a week at CMS House) Key benefits: Up to 10% pension and 36 days of annual and bank holiday leave plus other benefits This is a new position, created because CMS believes there's considerably more philanthropic income available to fund its mission, and the building blocks, real relationships, real multi-year gifts, are already in place. You won't be starting from nothing, but you will be building the strategy as you go; developing CMS's first dedicated philanthropy approach alongside the Director of Fundraising and Communications, while simultaneously delivering against a genuinely ambitious income growth plan. You'll lead a team of four, a trusts and key relationships lead, a major donor and trusts officer, a copywriter and a supporter care and events officer, and hold your own caseload of major donor relationships, leading high-value meetings and negotiating five- and six-figure gifts for CMS's work in the UK and overseas. You'll have strategic oversight of the trusts and foundations portfolio, build a stewardship framework worthy of CMS's most significant supporters, and work closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications and finance to make sure the whole organisation is pulling in the same direction behind this. You'll need a proven major gifts track record, real experience generating income from philanthropic relationships, and genuine comfort negotiating with senior figures and high-net-worth donors. You'll also need to be a committed, practising Christian who is fully aligned with CMS's values and aims, comfortable with regular UK travel including evenings and weekends, and up to two weeks of international travel a year to reach trusts and donors based overseas.
