Independent, international and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom and truth wherever they are denied. If you want to use your skills, knowledge, and experience to be successful in this role, you could be our new Philanthropy Executive.

About the role

The Philanthropy Executive will play a vital role in helping Amnesty International UK achieve its mission of protecting human rights by supporting the Major Donor Team to achieve our fundraising targets. The Philanthropy Executive will be responsible for delivering exceptional stewardship to new supporters and personally raising four-figure gifts for both UK and international work. In addition to stewardship responsibilities, this role will actively contribute to the growth and development of our new mid-value programme, requiring effective and creative communication skills to engage donors with compelling updates and reports.

• You bring a creative approach to your work, enabling you to develop engaging donor updates, reports and events.
• You collaborate and positively contribute to an inclusive culture.
