Head of Proposition Development

New Yesterday

Harris Hill is looking for a Head of Propositions, for 6 months, to support a national disability charity. The role will be responsible for working across a large and complex organisation with a newly launched strategy, to identify and develop compelling narratives and strategic, transformational propositions that will enable them to secure significant funding across all income streams. You will work with fundraisers and programme leads to create a blueprint for impact tracking, reporting and stewardship that will clearly demonstrate their impact and ensure they are delivering on their commitments to funders. You will innovate and help to identify new and exciting ways to showcase their work to existing and new supporters. Someone from a complex and social care providing organisation would be ideal, but not essential, who has been responsible and understands the role, and its need to get basics in place, and under the skin and produce an almost bible that fundraisers could use.. You will understand the fundamentals of things like reporting, KPI's, ensure systems are in place to track fundraising. As such, you will write really well, but not in a proposal writing sense, but in a way to underline practices and produce documents and reports that are understood by the wider team, stakeholders and managers. You will essentially come in and create from scratch, what a programme is from budget, need to function, campaigning work and how that all links. This role can be a 4-5dpw role, with 2dpw in the office. Key responsibilities
