At Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home, love has no limits. We take a big picture view of what is best for dogs and cats; and a tireless, long-term approach to their care. We believe in protecting loving homes, finding love homes, and running our loving Home. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment not only to the animals, but also our people.

We are delighted to be recruiting for a Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager to join the Home’s Fundraising Team. The purpose of this exciting role is to identify, cultivate and steward a pipeline of opportunities that raise income and deliver impact for the Home through businesses, partnerships, and philanthropists who share our passion.

You will work closely with the Head of Fundraising, Director of Income and Engagement, and fundraising colleagues to contribute to the ongoing development of the fundraising strategy, ensuring alignment with the Home’s goals, and work collaboratively with the communications team to develop marketing and communications support for your income streams. You will develop and implement a major giving strategy, whilst providing excellent stewardship to existing major donors. You will also develop and execute a corporate fundraising and partnerships strategy, securing new partners and managing relationships for maximum impact.

You’ll have a proven track record of winning new business or will have strong corporate and major gift fundraising experience, securing five figure and multi-year gifts, showcasing your ability to foster impactful relationships. Leveraging platforms like LinkedIn for networking and prospecting comes naturally to you, and your exceptional communication skills make you a persuasive negotiator and influencer. Driven by ambition to build partnerships that deliver both impact and income, you're always on the lookout for new leads and opportunities.

If you’re a proactive and confident relationship builder, who is skilled at securing new business and supporting donors to achieve their philanthropic goals, we would love to hear from you!
