The Conservation Leadership Programme (CLP) is looking to recruit a Programme Development Manager to lead the fundraising plan of this dynamic partnership programme. The role will work closely with the Executive Manager, CLP and CLP’s Executive Committee, comprised of senior management from Birdlife International, Wildlife Conservation Society and Fauna & Flora to secure funding from 2024 onwards.

You will have a substantial proven track record in fundraising from Institutional Funding sources. You will use your excellent relationship management skills to strengthen links with existing funders, and cultivate opportunities already discovered, as well as identify new sources of income. Using your project management and writing skills, you will work across the three partner organizations to coordinate approaches to suitable donors. You will lead on the relationship development, whilst keeping relevant organizations up to date, with the aim to secure significant funding for CLP from 2024 onwards.

Confidence in meetings and networking, both face-to-face and online, is essential. You will have excellent attention to detail when it comes to writing and reviewing documents. Success in this role is only possible through good working relationships and a proactive approach. Interpersonal and time-management skills are critical to enabling you to build strong internal working relationships as you bring information together to meet deadlines.

The role will allow you to spend 30% of your time with Fauna & Flora’s Trusts & Foundations team, working on fundraising across other programme areas aside from CLP.

Our ideal candidate will also have a passion for conservation, capacity building and the environment, and clearly demonstrate their commitment to Fauna & Flora and our partners values.

In return, Fauna & Flora offers a 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.

The closing date for applications is Sunday 12th November. Interviews are likely to be held during the week commencing 20th November. Candidates selected for interview will be contacted by email or telephone – please specify your preferred method of contact in your covering letter.
