Director of Fundraising Podium Analytics London, UK Full-Time and permanent role Salary: range of c. £110,000 - 120,000 pa with some flexibility on this for an exceptional candidate who will swiftly be able to make a significant impact. Established in 2019, Podium Analytics is a charity that is creating a world with more sport, less injury. We were founded with the belief that, to see the full benefit of sports participation, more needs to be done to address the issue of youth and grassroots sport injury, which is an under-researched, under-resourced and often overlooked issue. Harnessing the power of data and research, and through education, influence and advocacy, we are creating a revolution in grassroots and youth sport, making players safer and more able to enjoy the sports they love and for longer. Our work so far has been underpinned by our founding funders and key major supporters, who believe in our unique position in the sporting world and ability to drive change. In order for us to achieve our mission and the long-term impact that we are striving for, we need to build out and diversify our income base and have made good progress by recently establishing a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). At this point of our growth, we are seeking a new Director of Fundraising and it will take an experienced philanthropy leader to join us and help shape the next stage of our evolution. You will be responsible for developing growth strategies, funding opportunities and donor relationships across a diverse portfolio of income streams. You will therefore need to bring experience of securing gifts and grants, ideally at the 6-figure level or more. To complement our existing activity, high-value Trusts & Foundations and corporate partnership experience would be a bonus. A commitment to our purpose will drive you, as you establish close working relationships with our CEO, Chairman, Trustees and senior management team, to enable the successful delivery of fundraising initiatives and drive opportunities forward. As a strategic operator with an entrepreneurial and enterprising approach to your work, your track record of actively engaging with existing and potential supporters, and in developing and implementing comprehensive income generation strategies will underpin your ability to contribute to the strategic direction of the charity. As we are a small charity, this is a very hands-on role so you will therefore need to be comfortable with rolling up your sleeves, working in the detail without losing sight of the big picture, and navigating new or ambiguous areas with a positive and solutions-orientated mindset. In return, you will have the support of a highly professional senior management team and an exceptional Board who are all committed to ensuring success in our fundraising endeavours. If this is the sort of environment you are looking for in your next career step and you thrive on organisations in growth mode, we would like to hear from you.
