Head of Trusts and Foundations Greenpeace UK Location: London, UK Salary: This role is positioned with a salary range of £63,756 - £70,236 pa. Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Our vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action. To make this a reality, we transform politics, industry and society to create a greener and fairer world. Our mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way. Together we show up, we stand up, and we get things done. And we'll do it again tomorrow. In the last five decades, Greenpeace has become one of the foremost environmental organisations in the world, winning victories that have put climate and nature protection on the map. Fast forward to the present day, and we have gained huge momentum. Our movement is booming, environmentalism is mainstream and the solutions are more viable than ever. We look to the future from a position of strength. Now is the time to seize it. We're at a pivotal point in human history to turn the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss. In order to ensure our campaigning efforts continue to be effective and to keep up the pressure on government and businesses, we fundraise from private individuals and charitable trusts and foundations who help us continue our work. Our high-performing Fundraising Department contributes significantly towards a Global Capital Campaign to raise EUR100M for a new ship, and there is so much more we want and must do. We are therefore looking for two talented high-value fundraising specialists and leaders to lead key areas of our activity and ensure that we continue to sustainably grow our philanthropic income. The Head of Trusts and Foundations is a leadership role within our Key Relationships team. You will provide strategic direction and drive significant growth in income from charitable trusts and foundations. This is a chance to lead a critical area of our fundraising mix, and create a step-change in activities and outcomes to increase the number and longevity of donors giving at the six and seven-figure grant level. You will have the support of a small team as well as a well-developed operations unit, to drive our programme forward. It is therefore essential that you bring a proven and successful track record of securing gifts from trusts and foundations at the six-figure level or more, as well as managing people and getting the best out of them. Your creativity and highly developed relationship building skills and analytical abilities have underpinned your success so far, and you enjoy working in lock-step with colleagues to craft and convey compelling stories and cases to secure philanthropic support. To be a successful leader in our Key Relationships team will require resilience, adaptability, and solutions-focussed approach. We are at a crucial point in time for both the planet and our futures. If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in turning the tide on environmental destruction and want to see a fairer, more equitable planet for all through engaging philanthropic support, please consider applying. We'd love to hear from you. Greenpeace UK is partnering with Richmond Associates in this search. For a confidential discussion or to get more information on the role, please contact Richmond Associates on or (0). You can also download a detailed information pack from their website: CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 9AM GMT, THURSDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2026 Our commitment to diversity: We want our team to reflect the diversity of the communities we work alongside. We're committed to fairness, inclusion, and challenging discrimination and oppression in all its forms. We know the environmental sector has further to go when it comes to representation. We particularly encourage applications from people of colour, disabled people, and people who identify as working class now or in the past. This is a priority for us, as reflected in our representation targets and our approach to diversity, inclusion and anti-racism. Don't meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of colour may hesitate to apply unless they meet every area of the person specification.
