The role will also work closely with the BIG Alliance, founded by Islington Giving, Macquarie Foundation and East London Business Alliance, and benefit from being part of the wider network of place-based Giving schemes across London and beyond.

You will develop and manage a portfolio of business supporters, housing associations and corporate foundations, identify new funding opportunities and create engaging ways for organisations to contribute through philanthropy, employee engagement and strategic partnerships. There is also opportunity to work on bids to trust & foundations (along with the Director of Development & Communications).

As part of a small and collaborative team, you will work closely with the CEO, Director of Development & Communications, Individual Giving Manager and Digital Communications Manager.
