Our client is looking for a Fundraising Manager to help generate and maximise income from external funding sources. The role is primarily responsible for raising money for work undertaken by their Scotland entity, and as such the successful candidate will ideally be based in Scotland.

What's the role about?
They are looking for a motivated individual with relevant fundraising experience who will take the initiative to seek out new funding opportunities and create high quality funding proposals.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience:

• Proven, successful track record in securing five and six figure donations from grants and/or charitable trusts
• Excellent writing skills for compiling funding proposals and projects reports and claims
• Good numeracy skills, attention to detail, and ability to collate project budgets and grant claims
• Excellent understanding of funder motivations, funding processes, and the implications of funding packages and commitments
• Ability to work proactively, with minimal supervision, both within a team environment and independently
• Ability to develop good relationships across internal teams and with a range of funders and partners
• Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and short deadlines, and ability to cope well with change
• Persuasive verbal communication skills to influence and represent this charity to a variety of external and internal audiences
• Ability to work with other organisations and manage collaborative funding proposals, as well as work independently and manage own workload
• Experience in managing line reports, providing guidance, support and performance management
• Experience in recording income and donor communications on a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system
