Are you an experienced ocean fundraiser?
Oceana UK
Oceana is dedicated to protecting and restoring the world’s oceans on a global scale. We are a
leader in science-based advocacy, and we campaign for policies to make the world’s oceans more
abundant, vibrant, and biodiverse. Globally, Oceana has won over 300 policy victories for
marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to
protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent new hope for the
world’s oceans.
Oceana is now focused on some of the biggest threats facing UK seas, alongside climate change.
Fighting habitat destruction, stopping industrial overfishing, and preventing new offshore oil
and gas developments with their inextricable link to the climate crisis.
The UK registered charity has a vision for thriving seas around the UK, using highly visible
campaigns and detailed policy interventions to secure measurable changes to rebuild and
maintain ocean abundance and health. Oceana UK will act as a vital public-policy interface – raising the profile of our issues through campaigns, science, communications, and expeditions,
and influencing policymakers directly for commitments at key moments throughout the year.
Job Purpose
Oceana is seeking an experienced Development Lead to curate, grow and diversify our rapidly
expanding fundraising and partnerships portfolio. Working closely with our UK team and US-based
international development team, you will be responsible for the collaborative stewardship of
relationships with some of the world’s biggest environmental foundations and philanthropists.
You will help identify and drive new relationships, managing successful grant applications with
trusts and foundations in the UK, and cultivating new fundraising streams. You will have a
strategic mindset along with a meticulous attention to detail. Fostering exemplary
relationships with diverse partners is central to the role and critical to our success. You
should be experienced in handling competing priorities, delivering exceptional funding
applications and reports, and providing updates with precision and confidence. You will also
have a passion for growing and diversifying income streams and converting new interest into
long-term, sustainable, support.
Reporting to the Director of Finance and People, you will work closely with our teams, and the
global development department, to secure the sustainable resources Oceana UK needs to deliver
further impact at this crucial time for our ocean. The role will also help Oceana maximise
opportunities to deliver policy victories for UK seas for many years to come and strengthen our
work globally.
You will be a self-starter, with a broad range of previous experience, and the ability to develop
and manage your priorities in this new role. You will be comfortable working independently and as
part of a small team. The position will be hybrid, with 2 days per week from home and 3 days per
week based in Oceana’s office in Paddington, London or in Newquay, Cornwall. Occasional travel will
