The Role Within Unseen
As Fundraising Manager at Unseen, you will generate income from a variety of supporters including corporates, individuals, and communities. You will manage key fundraising activities, including events, digital campaigns, appeals, supporter care, and employee engagement initiatives. This role offers an exciting opportunity to engage with supporters to promote Unseen s mission of a world without exploitation.
You will be responsible for the line management of a Fundraising Officer, who works across the corporate, individual, and community income streams, enabling their growth and ensuring that all tasks are completed effectively.
You will work closely with the Head of Fundraising to deliver and evaluate fundraising activities, ensuring they align with Unseen's strategy and values, and drive sustainable growth. While this role focuses on specific fundraising streams, such as corporate, individual, and community fundraising, Unseen also generates income through trusts, grants, and foundations, which is not a responsibility for this role of Fundraising Manager. However, this role will be expected to identify and develop new sources of income where appropriate and cost-effective opportunities arise.
This role represents a strategic investment in the fundraising team, built on the strong foundations and successful fundraising in 2024. With clear plans in place for 2025, the Fundraising Manager will have the opportunity to shape the future of Unseen s fundraising efforts, driving increased income to meet targets and support the organisation s long-term ambitions.
Purpose of the role
The Fundraising Manager plays a pivotal role in driving Unseen s fundraising efforts. You will lead initiatives aimed at securing vital funding across three key areas:
Corporate donations and employee engagement
Individual donor fundraising, including nurturing major donors
Community group partnerships.
You do not need to have direct experience across all areas, however we are looking for someone to replicate fundraising experience across these income streams. Your focus will be on delivering high-quality fundraising experiences, deepening relationships with supporters to maximise value, and creating opportunities for new income streams.
Responsibilities Will Primarily Consist of
1. Strategy and leadership
2. Planning and delivery of fundraising campaigns
