Head of Fundraising

The Company is seeking a Head of Fundraising to grow fundraising income and advance its strategic ambitions. This hands-on role combines setting and delivering fundraising strategy with personally cultivating donors and securing major gifts. Responsibilities include developing compelling cases for support, strengthening legacy fundraising, using donor data and CRM insights to improve results, and leading a small fundraising team. As part of the senior leadership group, the Head of Fundraising will also contribute to the organization’s future direction. Candidates should have experience growing unrestricted fundraising income, leading and developing a fundraising team, and personally securing major gifts while building long-term donor relationships. They should be confident making significant asks, skilled in relationship fundraising, and experienced in using data and CRM systems to guide performance. The role also calls for the ability to create and deliver a fundraising strategy, ideally in a small-team environment, along with initiative in identifying and pursuing opportunities. Experience in healthcare, medical research, or legacy fundraising is an advantage but is not essential.
