The fate of our planet is not a done deal. At WWF we are determined to save it by finding solutions to the greatest
environmental problems facing our planet. As a global environmental organisation, we are working to protect some
of the world's most vulnerable wildlife, places, and people as well as tackling climate change and
addressing the unsustainable consumption of precious natural resources.
Our work in Scotland is growing and as a result we are looking to build our capacity to raise funds and to manage new
as well as existing relationships. We have a Fundraising & Partnerships Manager in place but have created
this new position, so together you can oversee fundraising from trusts, foundations, statutory sources, and
major donors as well as supporting the UK legacy strategy in Scotland.

well as design and execute fundraising strategies, activities and events. In addition to maintaining
relationships with existing supporters, you will proactively research and pursue new funding opportunities. You
will also network in the fundraising, environmental and wider third sectors to maximise opportunities for
growing support. You will oversee the delivery of a calendar of bespoke events, updates, reports and proposals
too. Important will be the ability to keep up to date on good practice, legal and ethical compliance, sector
debates and monitor effectiveness.
For this role, you must have a background in charity fundraising, including partnership management and new business
development. You will have a track record of winning bids and funding as well as meeting financial targets too.
