About The Organisation
We are an award-winning anti-slavery charity working with governments and police forces across three strategic locations - the UK, Romania and Bangladesh. Through frontline programmes, policy advocacy and strategic partnerships, we work on the frontline to support survivors of modern slavery and bring perpetrators to justice, and in the corridors of power to create change at scale.

Are you a relationship-builder, strategist and storyteller with a passion for justice? Join us as our new Philanthropy Lead and help take our major donor programme to the next level.
This is a pivotal role in a growing team. You’ll lead our high-value philanthropy strategy, manage your own portfolio of major donors and prospects, and line-manage a talented Philanthropy Specialist - supporting their development as you grow the programme together.
Working closely with our CEO, senior volunteers and programme leads across the UK, Romania and Bangladesh, you’ll shape how we grow income, insight and impact in the years ahead. Your focus will be on securing high five- and six-figure gifts from individuals and foundations who want to be part of the fight against modern slavery.
This role requires regular presence in London.
What we’re looking for:
- A proven track record in securing significant gifts from high-net-worth individuals or foundations
- Strategic thinking and confident relationship management
- Strong communication skills - written and verbal
- Experience managing or mentoring colleagues
- Drive, humility and a deep belief in our mission
- Desire to grow with us over the long term, eagerness to share knowledge and experience, and motivation to continue developing both personally and professionally.
