Research & Insight Officer

Over the next five years, Fauna & Flora aspires to enhance its global impact through
investment, growth, visibility and influence. An essential part of this will be through greatly
expanding awareness and visibility of its programmes among UK and global target audiences and
by exponentially increasing its fundraising efforts and results.

A key and growing audience for Fauna & Flora in the UK and globally is high net worth
individuals, and specifically those who are willing to give high value unrestricted support to
our global conservation programmes. We are seeking an ambitious candidate for the role of
Research & Insight Officer to help us manage our growing networks of high
value supporters, as well as identifying new contacts and networks for Fauna & Flora.

This role will join our Research and Insight team which supports the sustainable expansion of
our high net worth individual portfolio work, including prospecting, donor research and due
diligence and pipeline monitoring of high net worth relationships. Your main focus will be to
support the Philanthropy team but you will provide additional support to other areas of
fundraising including the Institutional Funding team (including Trusts and Foundations),
supporter marketing, as well as the USA Philanthropy team and Board in Australia. Further, you
will support the CEO team and trustees and other senior volunteers to ensure they have
necessary intelligence to support fundraising and networking opportunities for Fauna &
Flora.

You will need to develop strong working relationships across high value fundraising activities
in the UK and USA, as well as more widely across the fundraising communications teams, and also
with senior leadership including the CEO and with our volunteers including trustees.

To this end we are seeking a self-motivated individual to join our Philanthropy team in this
role. The role requires an individual who understands how to conduct qualitative research using
an array of sources, can operate a database with confidence, precision and ease, works well
with others and is curious, inquisitive and driven in building fundraising data intelligence,
with exemplary attention to detail. Currently we use the access CRM database ThankQ and will be
seeking to transition to a new CRM system in 2024, in which this post will play a key part.

You will enjoy working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, where the ability to respond
swiftly to changing organisational and team needs is paramount. In return, we offer the
opportunity to work for a ground-breaking organisation at the forefront of global conservation,
with generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance, and life insurance.

Our offices are located in The David Attenborough Building in central Cambridge, just a few
minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the
central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants.

This role is not eligible for sponsorship for a Skilled Worker Visa.

The closing date for applications is Friday, 8 March 2024. Interviews are
likely to take place during the week commencing Monday, 18 March 2024.
