Can you turn research and intelligence into practical opportunities that help fundraisers build stronger relationships and grow income? We are looking for a curious, analytical and collaborative Philanthropy Executive to strengthen CHAS’s prospect pipeline and help identify the people, organisations and connections with the greatest potential to support children and families across Scotland.

This is much more than a desk research role. You will combine high-quality prospect research and donor intelligence with sound judgement, relationship mapping and pipeline insight. Working closely with fundraisers and external research partners, you will identify and qualify prospective supporters, recommend routes to engagement and help ensure promising opportunities are progressed effectively.

You will produce clear briefings and evidence-based recommendations across philanthropy, corporate foundations and partnerships and campaign fundraising. You will also help maintain accurate prospect information, support regular pipeline reviews and translate complex research into practical next steps that colleagues can act on.

The role sits within CHAS’s Partnerships & Philanthropy team and will contribute to long-term fundraising growth, including our More Than A Hospice appeal. It is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys connecting insight with action and wants their work to have a clear, meaningful purpose.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring strong research and analytical skills, excellent judgement and the confidence to work collaboratively with colleagues across fundraising. You will have:

• Experience in prospect research, fundraising, business intelligence or another insight-led role.
• Experience of identifying and qualifying prospective supporters and producing clear research briefings, donor intelligence or similar written outputs.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex information into practical, evidence-based recommendations.
• The confidence to build trusted working relationships, contribute constructively to prospect and pipeline reviews and influence priorities through insight.
• Experience of using a CRM or comparable information system to manage accurate records, activity and next steps.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage several priorities and deadlines.
• A sound understanding of responsible information management, including data protection and confidentiality.

Experience of major donor, corporate foundations, or campaign fundraising would be helpful, as would experience of relationship mapping, due diligence, wealth screening or working with external research providers. These are desirable rather than essential.

About CHAS

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together, as well as supporting them with life after loss.

Our fundraising teams make this possible by building meaningful, long-term relationships with people and organisations who share our ambition. In this role, your insight will help colleagues focus on the strongest opportunities, understand prospective supporters and develop thoughtful routes to engagement.

• Flexible working: Our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid way, with time split between home and CHAS locations (predominantly Edinburgh and Glasgow). We are happy to discuss working arrangements that work for you.
• Varied, purposeful work: You will contribute across philanthropy, trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, campaigns, cultivation activity and prospect development.
• Professional growth: You will work within a supportive and ambitious team, collaborating with experienced fundraisers and specialist external research partners.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in CHAS’s More Than a Hospice Appeal - an ambitious, once-in-a-generation campaign to change the future of care for children who will die young.

You will also support community-based events and initiatives that increase both income and awareness, helping supporters understand that the Appeal is about more than buildings: it is about choice, dignity and care for families, wherever they are - at home, in hospital or in a hospice.

You will also inspire people to get involved by recruiting, training and developing volunteers. Working alongside the Community Fundraising team, you will help build sustainable, community-led fundraising with long-term impact.

Where does the role sit?

Reporting to the Community Fundraising Manager, you will be part of the Community Fundraising team and play an important role in growing support across the East of Scotland and delivering the ambition of the More Than a Hospice Appeal.

About you

To successfully drive fundraising and support for CHAS, you will work cooperatively with colleagues, build meaningful relationships, demonstrate initiative, act with integrity and be accountable for your actions and decisions.

You will also have:

• Experience of building new relationships and networks that grow income or support.
• Experience of delivering community fundraising activity, such as campaigns, events or local initiatives with the organisational skills to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to adapt your style for different audiences and share fundraising messages in an engaging way.
• Highly developed interpersonal skills.
• Experience of recruiting, training and supporting volunteers, matching tasks to people’s strengths and helping volunteers feel valued, confident and well supported.
• Strong administrative skills and confidence using systems or customer relationship management databases, with a clear understanding of data protection and confidentiality.

Please note that a driving licence and access to a car will be essential for this role. There will be a regular requirement to transport yourself and materials as well as cash between CHAS sites, community sites and events.
