Civitas Recruitment are delighted to be working with an organisation who bring the investment community together to work towards a net zero and climate resilient future. The organisation collaborates with investors to create practical solutions that can make a real difference in tackling climate change.

Who are we looking for?

Ideal candidates will possess significant and demonstrable experience working with trusts and foundations. You will have a proven track record of producing compelling and successful grant proposals to secure high-value, multi-year grants (success with securing six/seven figure grants highly desirable). You will have excellent relationship management skills and will be adept at engaging and inspiring donors and understand diverse donor motivations. Candidates will have demonstrable skill in adapting and delivering complex and technical written and verbal communications for a philanthropy audience. Knowledge of the institutional investor landscape and/or finance industry would be a bonus; however, it is not essential for the role.

Early applications are encouraged as we will be reviewing on a rolling basis and roles may close earlier than initially indicated.
