We are recruiting a philanthropy manager to implement and grow our major giving strategy. You will manage and develop high level relationships with new and existing donors and play a key role within the philanthropy and partnerships team to increase income from mid to high value prospects and donors.

The Philanthropy and Partnerships Team works with Kidney Research UK's high value supporters, including individuals, ambassadors, trusts and partners. Our team also delivers inspiring events to fundraise, engage and cultivate new and existing donors. Our focus is on developing long term, strategic, value plus relationships with those who have significant capacity to financially support, influence, and open their networks to positively transform the lives of those affected by kidney disease.
You will be an excellent relationship builder who has demonstrable experience of working with and raising money from high value donors within the charity sector.
We operate a hybrid, flexible working style. Although the role is contracted to our Peterborough office and flexibility is required around events, the team currently come together in the office once every 2 weeks for an in-person team meeting.

About Kidney Research UK:
Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.
At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.
Over the last ten years we have invested more than £58 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.
Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.
Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.
You may have experience in the following: Fundraising Manager, Major Gifts Officer, Major Gifts Manager, Development Manager, Donor Relations Manager, Grant Manager, High Value Donor Manager, Philanthropic, Charity Fundraiser, Strategic Partnerships Manager, Charity, Charities, Third Sector, NFP, Not for Profit, etc.
