Plan International UK is a global children’s charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.
We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won’t stop until we are all equal.
A rewarding and exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Major Donor Manager to join the Philanthropic Partnerships Team in the Major Partnerships Unit (MPU) for a 12-month maternity cover role.
As Major Donor Manager you will lead the major donor team whilst managing three major donor officers. You will be responsible for leading the team to deliver excellent account management and stewardship of the major donor portfolio, contributing to our goal of sustaining and increasing income from high-net-worth individuals. You will also support the team to identify, research and cultivate relationships with new prospects.
You will have substantial experience of successfully creating and managing relationships with donors to secure high value gifts. Your strong interpersonal and communication skills will enable you to build relationships, negotiate, influence and collaborate with stakeholders, and you will have excellent problem solving and analytical skills.
If this sounds like you, and you have a passion for our values, feminist leadership principles and vision, we would love for you to apply!
This is an exciting time to join a high achieving team with lots of ambitious projects under way including the rollout of a new giving circle product and execution of an excellent high-value events programme.
For further detail of this role, please see the job profile.
The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Sunday 7 September 2025
