Role - Philanthropy Research Officer Hours - Full-Time Contract - Fixed Term Contract until April 2027 (potential for the role to be extended or made permanent) Location - Hybrid, with the requirement to work from HALO's Salisbury or London office at least once a week Salary - circa 30k per annum, depending on experience Reports to: Global Philanthropy Research and Insight Lead Job Purpose - The Philanthropy Research Officer will deliver research, due diligence, and support the management of our philanthropic pipeline, in order to support the growth of philanthropic income, in line with The HALO Trust's (HALO) strategic funding priorities and programmatic need. About HALO: HALO's mission is to protect lives and restore the livelihoods of those affected by conflict. For over 35 years HALO has been saving lives and helping war-torn countries recover from conflict, by making their land safe. When conflict ends, land is often littered with landmines and other dangerous explosives. Families live in fear and poverty. They are unable to plant crops or graze cattle and day-to-day activities like getting to school and fetching water are fraught with risk. HALO recruits and trains men and women to clear landmines in their own communities, take back control of their own livelihoods and rebuild their communities. HALO is now one of the leading humanitarian mine clearance organisations globally with programmes in 30 countries and territories with over 11,000 staff, most of who are local employees. About the role: Although HALO is over 30 years old, it had until recently a relatively small philanthropy programme. This has changed over the past five years with global income from philanthropic donors (including the US) increasing from £4 million to £44 million in 2023/24 of which UK philanthropic income (led by the Global Philanthropy Team) increased from £3.6m to £8.9m. The most recent increase is attributable to exceptional US donor support for Ukraine. Underpinning this, is growth in six and seven figure partnerships with philanthropists, corporates and foundations, supported by our exceptionally well-connected network of trustees and ambassadors and overseen by our committed and professional global philanthropy team. The Global Philanthropy Team is a team of 12 professionals, predominantly based in the UK, who are working to secure new support and steward donors across the UK/Europe and increasingly international markets including the Middle East and beyond. The team works collaboratively with philanthropy colleagues in the US who are responsible for US philanthropy strategy and implementation. Following the success achieved to date, HALO has recently taken the decision to invest further in growing philanthropic funding to diversify to our income portfolio and provide greater agility in the face of a decline in Government funding. This will include developing mass market individual giving as well as bolstering our major gifts fundraising capacity through recruitment to new roles over the coming year. This is an exciting time for a highly motivated individual with experience of prospect research to join our high performing team and contribute to the next phase of philanthropic growth. Job Responsibilities: Identify, research and qualify prospective new philanthropic (non-governmental) donors with the capacity to make significant gifts to HALO (to include individuals, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners).

Proactively keep abreast of news and developments for key philanthropic partners/sectors and share with relationship leads.

Share research and insights in a way that equips team members and other internal senior stakeholders (including the CEO) to respond quickly and effectively to new opportunities Support due diligence research, in line with HALO's gift acceptance policy Proactively identify new prospects to match agreed strategic funding priorities and projects. Work closely with colleagues in the USA, UK and overseas programs as part of a distributed team to provide support to global fundraising efforts.

A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment Low-ego, collaborative team-player with strong ability to self-reflect An excellent communicator, written and verbal with exceptional attention to detail. A commitment to HALO's mission and objectives. Salary: c. 30k depending on experience Annual Leave: 25 days leave, plus 8 bank holidays Private medical health insurance Non-contributory life assurance Pension contributions matched by HALO up to 5% Emergency medical insurance when travelling overseas (including on leave) Flexible working policy Cycle to work scheme Location and Working Pattern Flexible. The Philanthropy Team is based between HALO's office in Wilton, near Salisbury and our soon to be opened office in London. Depending on location team members work from one of our offices on at least a weekly basis and we try to come together as a team monthly. This is ideally a full-time role, with HALO operating a 40- hour working week (with the office closing at 3pm on Fridays). We are open to exploring working arrangements that meet the needs of employees whilst ensuring delivery against the role's objectives and our strategic goals.
