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'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.
