coupled with great work/life balance.
The Organisation

contribute to a meaningful sector.
Their vision is clear: to create a future where MND is no longer a threat and where individuals affected by this
condition can live with dignity and hope.
The Role
The Fundraising Lead role at MND Scotland is crucial in delivering this vision. This position offers a unique
opportunity for an experienced, creative and strategic-minded fundraiser to drive the charities fundraising
efforts. The Fundraising Lead will be responsible for developing and implementing fundraising strategies,
including overseeing the planning, execution, and evaluation of fundraising campaigns, cultivating and
stewarding relationships, and identifying opportunities for growth and expansion. Additionally, the role

thinker with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the Fundraising Lead will excel in stakeholder
engagement, have a strong understanding of fundraising principles, and provide effective solutions, all whilst
being an ambassador for MND Scotland. Although management experience is not essential, you must have experience
in Trusts or Legacy.
The team is small but broad, where you can have a voice and be actively impactful on the direction of the team and
organisation.
