Do you share our belief that sport can transform lives?

For more than 40 years, Women in Sport has championed gender equality in sport, tirelessly working to break down systemic barriers and drive change to make sure all women and girls can experience the life-changing benefits of sport.

But despite the progress made, far too many women and girls are missing out.

Now, we have a unique opportunity to grow and diversify our income in line with the rising profile of women’s sport. This is a pivotal moment and we’re looking for someone with the wisdom, ability and determination to generate income and a passion for the cause to make a tangible difference to our success – and the lives of women and girls across the UK.

We are not a traditional charity with “on the ground delivery” or programs, so we are looking for a person who thinks strategically and can translate big ideas into compelling reasons to support our mission. This role calls for energy, urgency and a drive to turn interest into real support.

As Fundraising and Engagement Manager, you’ll seek to generate income from multiple sources and ensure high quality stewardship of relationships, finding alignment between funders and cause. You will have the gift of making people see the value of our purpose and the ability to take funders and donors on a journey to understand the power of our thought leadership and campaigning. You’ll have a strong understanding of the funding landscape, including the priorities of potential supporters, the potential and current landscape as it relates to women and girls and our strategic direction as a charity. You’ll be able to spot alignment, spark ideas and shape opportunities that secure long-term support.

Reporting to the Head of Communications and Engagements and working closely with the CEO and Head of People, Finance and Operations you will lead our income generation.

Main responsibilities are to:

Drive and deliver our income generation strategy

Identify and realise strategic funding opportunities

Build and maintain exceptional supporter relationships

Manage highly effective fundraising processes and systems

If you share our vision, think your experience is relevant and have the ability to make big things happen you might be just right.

What we’re looking for in you:

We’re seeking someone who is passionate about our mission and driven to make a real impact. You’ll bring energy, integrity and ambition to your work and thrive as part of a small, committed team making big change happen.

You will:

Achieve fundraising targets and drive growth in income

Build relationships and influence effectively, with tact and diplomacy

Communicate brilliantly—whether in person, writing or through presentations

Make informed, data-led decisions under pressure

Thrive in a fast-paced environment with a ‘can-do’ attitude

Women in Sport is committed to a working culture where everyone can be authentic and true to themselves. We strive to represent the full diversity of the communities that we serve. Come and be part of our small but ground-breaking charity, in the high profile and fast-moving arena of women’s sport with plenty of scope to make your mark on a vital cause!

Please see the job description for a full list of responsibilities and the criteria required for this role. We kindly request applicants have the right to work and live in the UK.

We are unable to sponsor any individual who does not have the right to work in the UK. Unless you the right to work in the UK please do not apply.
