London with hybrid working (2dpw onsite in their White City office)
The British Asian Trust is a diaspora-led international development organisation, delivering programmes tackling problems and inequalities in the areas of education, livelihoods, mental health, child protection and conservation in South Asia.
The scale and complexity of the challenges in South Asia demand innovative and ambitious approaches to tackling them. The British Asian Trust works in partnership with others to design and deliver programmes, raise funds and convene partnerships that combine new social finance tools, philanthropy and technology to deliver impact at scale.
The Associate Director of Programme Fundraising plays a critical role within this setup - leading and shaping the programme fundraising strategy to secure large scale partnerships with institutional donors, trusts and foundations and strategic corporate partners. The position holds an integral central point of contact between internal and external stakeholders (in the London HQ and internationally), developing complex and compelling funding propositions while cultivating key donor relationships and ensuring the delivery of ambitious income targets.
As Associate Director of Programme Fundraising you will lead a high-performing team of 5, with matrix management/collaboration with colleagues based in India and Pakistan, as an active member of the Fundraising Leadership team.
The British Asian Trust operates a dynamic, impact-driven culture - requiring an individual with the technical skills and expertise to drive growth of these core income streams whilst delegating multiple competing priorities and navigating a complex funding environment.
About the role:
1. Further develop and implement the programme fundraising strategy, focused on securing funding from institutional donors, trusts and foundations and corporate partners aligned with BATs core programmatic areas.
2. Cultivate and manage key relationships with funders, influencers and wider relevant networks.
3. Lead a high performing team, managing and delegating multiple competing priorities to balance organisational requirements for programme fundraising efficiently.
4. Further develop systems and processes that underpin programme fundraising, including prospect research, compliance, donor engagement, proposition development and reporting.
5. Operate as an active and effective member of the Fundraising Leadership Team, collaborating with the Programme, Finance and Communications teams to align policies and processes.
About You:
1. A proven track record in programme fundraising, securing multi-million-pound funding from institutional donors, trusts and foundations.
2. Experience in international development/social impact sectors with a strong understanding/wider awareness of outcome based fundraising models.
3. Team leader, with expertise of managing high-performing teams and delegating tasks effectively.
4. An agile approach/test and learn mentality to adapt approaches/pivot activity as necessary within a dynamic environment and shifting donor priorities.
5. Strong relationship manager, with expertise of engaging a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders (including high-value funders and in-country teams).
