Current job opportunities
Please view our current vacancies below.
Philanthropy Manager
SPANA – The Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad is the global charity for working animals in low-income countries. Since 1923, we have supported the welfare of working animals, including donkeys, horses, camels and elephants, in communities that depend on working animals for water, transport, agriculture and their very survival. Today, we support working animals across 26 countries, through a series of global projects and partnerships.
As SPANA celebrates its centenary this year with the launch of our new strategy, we are going to reach, and transform the lives, of more working animals than ever. To do this, we need to grow our fundraising, marketing and communications programme to maximise income from a variety of income streams.
As part of our ambitious plans, we are seeking to recruit a Philanthropy Manager to drive the development and delivery of SPANA’s major donor programme. The post holder will be responsible for the generation of income from high-value individuals and partners, through building relationships and growing our major donor pipeline. The postholder will manage existing high-value donor relationships, applications and appeals, and also research and develop potential prospects into long-term major donors.
This role is offered on a full-time permanent basis with flexible hybrid working arrangements at our London office or the option of being home-based. Read the job description here.
