Director of Development & Fundraising

This is a new and pivotal leadership role at The Green Estate at an exciting time of change. With a new CEO, Leadership Team, Board and Strategy in place we are seeking an experienced professional fundraiser to develop and deliver our first fundraising and investment strategy to help us achieve our mission and 2030 goal!

This will involve delivering ambitious fundraising targets from a range of sources including grants, donations, corporate and philanthropic fundraising and investment. The postholder will need to 'hold the pen' and produce high quality funding applications and investment proposals.

The postholder will provide leadership and business development support for expert and talented service managers and work with the rest of the Leadership team to grow the income, impact and influence of The Green Estate.

The postholder will need to be commercially minded, have an excellent track record and expertise in fundraising from multiple sources and have a commitment to our mission and values.

This role will require significant fundraising experience across multiple income streams, combined with leadership qualities and a track record of delivering ambitious fundraising targets and business growth.

In return we can offer you a friendly and supportive working environment within a unique and diverse organisation. We are a growing business with a professional and focused team who are highly supportive of ongoing training and development.

The standard working hours for The Green Estate CIC is 08:00 - 16:00 fully on site but there are opportunities for flexible and hybrid working arrangements. This role cannot be fully remote, due to the requirement to support on-site activities and meet with stakeholders.
