Greenpeace supporters are at the heart of our work and enable us to stand up to the might of governments and corporate greed with true independence.  Without them, we would not be who we are.

Donations from people are the lifeblood of Greenpeace all around the world. Our campaigns are wholly funded by the generosity of our supporters because we do not take donations from companies or governments. We are currently seeking an enthusiastic, highly motivated Major Donor Fundraiser who can help us grow our small successful major gifts programme in the UK.

This is a new role that has arisen following a successful period of growth in our major gift programme. It comes with an opportunity to make a significant impact on the organisation and its mission for a green and peaceful future.

For the last three years we have been stewarding and upgrading a small group of major donors, and identifying new prospective major donors. The potential within the group is clear and ready for cultivation, offering a skilled and motivated fundraiser an amazing opportunity to join a passionate team and deliver growth for a well-known organisation with ambitious goals around the world.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Our Major Donor Fundraiser must be highly self-motivated, enthusiastic and a confident person who is passionate and confident about asking for large sums of money to protect our planet, and you must be comfortable working with programme staff at all levels. 

We require someone who has demonstrable experience in making successful face-to-face asks to individual donors, and also has excellent skills in managing the ongoing stewardship of donors. 

This person will be managed by our High Value Fundraising Manager and will be responsible for cultivating new relationships, account managing a portfolio of donors, as well as preparing proposals and managing events. The role needs to ensure that as the major gift programme develops it remains rooted in our organisation’s campaign priorities and wider activities.

Join the front-line of our work – investigating and exposing environmental abuse, promoting environmentally responsible and socially just solutions and confronting those with the power to bring change.

Campaign techniques span investigation and research, public, political and corporate work, use of traditional and new media, science and the law and non-violent direct action. Candidates will need strong campaigning experience in one or more of these areas, with the creativity and strategic skills to develop campaign thinking.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

•  A clear understanding of how campaigning can achieve change
• Imaginative, analytical problem solving
• An innovative approach to devising campaign strategies and communications
• Drive, self-motivation, dedication, a high degree of initiative and the capacity to work effectively within a team
• A belief in peaceful direct action and the aims of Greenpeace

We want someone who can take a brief and develop it into a useful project, is self-starting, can analyse information, good at dealing with others, and pragmatic about what works in a fast paced organisation. Ideally you will have some digital skills and event management experience but this is not essential.  

We need someone to provide support to our web team. This role will support specific projects, involved in the development of an innovative new digital tool for the ocean campaign.

The internship is 2-3 days per week (depending on availability) for a minimum of 3 months (starting approximately February 2012).

Applicants should be able to demonstrate their support for, and belief in, the aims of Greenpeace and be able to commit to the full period of the internship, with some slight flexibility available around the start and end dates.
