5 days ago

Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa CA Global Headhunters Full time

Our client, a leading eye health Programme provider in the UK, is seeking a Philanthropy Manager. As Philanthropy Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in driving the company's mission to create largescale impact. From identifying new donor prospects (particularly high-net-worth individuals, private foundations, and catalytic funders) to building lasting relationships, you will oversee every step of the donor engagement process. Your work will focus on prioritizing promising opportunities, crafting persuasive proposals, converting interest into meaningful support, and engaging funders to be part of the company's transformative work in making the invisible visible. You won't be working alone—our Head of Sustainability, Marketing and Development, along with the company's CEO, will support you in shaping and delivering a fundraising plan that powers our vision. Together you'll strengthen the systems and strategies that allow us to grow and thrive.

Responsibilities:

  • Identify, prioritise, and pursue high-impact funding opportunities: Develop a deep understanding of Peek Vision and our partners to identify and target the most promising funding prospects. Create a clear plan to address the backlog of leads and establish systems to secure new sources of support.
  • Create compelling and adaptable donor engagement materials: Design, develop, and maintain a suite of core materials including templates for concept notes, pitch decks, and proposals to respond promptly and effectively to potential donor opportunities.
  • Craft donor-focused funding packages that resonate and inspire support: Collaborate with colleagues across Peek to create persuasive mission-first funding packages that highlight our impact and vision. Motivate donors to support Peek to scale globally.
  • Implement effective horizon scanning: Develop and manage systems to monitor and identify grant opportunities including regular funding calls and new requests for proposals. Take a proactive approach to identifying timely funding prospects.
  • Collaborate with our partners: Work closely with Peek's partners to support integrating Peek's software into their fundraising applications, ensuring they have the tools and guidance needed to effectively leverage Peek's solutions for successful outcomes.
  • Ensure consistent donor messaging: Work closely with the Communications team and the Peek Vision Foundation Officer to develop and deliver accurate, engaging, and unified messages for donors and prospects.
  • Evaluate and optimise fundraising initiatives: Track and analyse the effectiveness of Peek's fundraising efforts and use the insights to optimise future strategies. Continuously refine proposals and approaches based on past successes, setbacks, and lessons learned, ensuring a data-driven approach to fundraising.

The key attributes we have identified for the role are:

  • Strategic fundraising expertise: Brings fresh perspectives to donor engagement. Develops forward-thinking strategies to attract transformational support. Thrives on creating solutions that reflect Peek's approach to social impact. Proven experience in raising funds from High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs), private foundations, and/or catalytic funders.
  • Exceptional written communication: Demonstrated ability to craft compelling, succinct, and persuasive proposals often under tight deadlines to capitalise on timely opportunities.
  • Strong relationship management: Adept at cultivating and sustaining long-term donor relationships, understanding their priorities, and building on the trust that donors place in Peek Vision to help solve the global vision crisis.
  • Effective project management: Highly organised with strong project management skills, ideally using Monday.com or a similar package to handle multiple projects simultaneously, meet deadlines, and maintain quality standards.

Desirable attributes for the role are:

  • Relevant experience: Proven track record of working in global health, social enterprises, and/or driving large-scale systems change.
  • Content creation expertise: Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality, visually engaging materials in-house including reports and presentations using tools such as Google Slides, Canva, or Adobe InDesign.
  • Financial acumen: Solid grasp of financial concepts such as budgeting, forecasting, and funding models to develop effective proposals and align fundraising strategies with financial goals.

Requirements:

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in roles such as Philanthropy Manager, Senior Philanthropy Manager, Fundraising Manager, or Trusts & Foundations Manager.
  • Alternatively, at least 5 years of experience in positions like Fundraising Officer, Fundraising Lead, or Philanthropy Officer (or Lead).
  • Background in one or more of the following sectors:
    • Not-for-profit, charity, or I/NGOs.
    • Social enterprise or corporate affairs/ESG within for-profit organizations.
    • Experience in sectors related to the company's focus areas (e.g., health, education, livelihoods, disability) is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated expertise in:
    • Strategic fundraising and financial acumen.
    • Exceptional written communication skills and content creation.
    • Strong relationship management and stakeholder engagement.
    • Effective project management and the ability to deliver results efficiently.

Benefits and Contractual information:

  • Location: Remote
  • 25 days paid holiday every year (in addition to public holidays in your location), paid sick leave, and generous parental leave benefits.
  • Funds and dedicated time available to support professional development.
  • Competitive employer's pension contribution with an employee contribution option plus life insurance.
  • Medical insurance for you and your family with no excess.
