Senior Philanthropy Manager

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

We are a very ambitious organisation which has gone through transformational growth over the past five years. Alongside funding an existing programme of world-leading research, treatment and care, the Charity has recently completed its largest capital appeal to date, successfully raising £70 million to build the Oak Cancer Centre at the hospital’s Sutton site.

As Senior Philanthropy Manager you will manage a portfolio of existing major donors and lead on building relationships with new potential supporters to secure 6 and 7 figure donations. Once the new Appeal is launched, you will manage relationships with Appeal Board members, working closely with the Head of Major Gifts and Events and other members of the RMCC leadership team to explore their networks, facilitate introductions and secure gifts. You will also work on the recruitment of new Senior Volunteers and Ambassadors to identify and initiate relationships with prospective supporters.

You will be a proactive individual with a proven ability and passion for relationship management and donor acquisition driving the delivery of our donor centric strategy for philanthropy. 

This is an opportune time to join The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity as we embark on our new five-year strategy. We are a high performing team, and this role presents an exciting opportunity to play a vital part in helping us to realise our ambition whilst developing your career within an ambitious organisation.

This role is a hybrid role, which allows you to work from the office 40% of your time and from home for up to 60% of your time each month. 

To apply please send your CV and a cover letter to Nicola,Wearing@rmh.nhs.uk. The deadline for applications is Wednesday 27th March, however applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
