Job description

This is a really exciting time to join Money Ready as we continue to shape and grow our Fundraising and Communications Directorate. Following a successful rebrand and merger in 2025, we’re investing in our Fundraising team to help us reach more people with our mission: Money – a language for life.

As Senior Development Manager, you’ll play a key leadership role in driving new business and securing significant income for Money Ready. You’ll lead on developing and winning new strategic partnerships, major donor relationships, and commercial opportunities, while line managing our New Business Manager. This is a role for someone who can think strategically, build strong relationships, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves.

You’ll work closely with the Fundraising & Communications Director, CEO, and Trustees to ensure Money Ready is making the most of its networks, influence, and expertise. You’ll help shape our approach to new business, contribute to long‑term fundraising strategy, and support the continued growth of a small but mighty team that currently raises over £5m, largely through multi‑year strategic partnerships.

Based in London, this role operates on a flexible, hybrid working model, combining home working with one day a week from a non‑home location. Occasional travel (approximately 6–8 times per year) is required to support relationship building and partnership development.

You’ll be joining a supportive, ambitious team at a pivotal moment for the organisation, with real opportunity to make a lasting impact on Money Ready’s future.
