This role is focused on raising large scale strategic programme funding that is managed by the Global Secretariat and very closely aligned to our SIF3 system change agenda. The role will work closely with the P&P Fundraising Lead, the thematic leads on economic justice, climate justice and women’s rights, and the Program and Impact Lead, identifying major strategic funding opportunities that resonate with our niche and credibility on priority themes.
The role will help to convert AAI’s external profile on key policy issues into big funding opportunities, helping to cultivate strategic donors and develop strategic funding proposals. The role will focus on opportunities where AAI can raise large scale funding and develop proposals that are consistent with our policies and funding targets, including on cost recovery.

- Significant experience in large scale fundraising
- Deep knowledge on one or more of ActionAid’s priority themes – climate justice, economic justice and public services, women’s rights, and feminist economics.
- An understanding of advocacy and public campaigns strategies
- An understanding of the politics of ActionAid’s approach to these priority themes and appreciation of our system change agenda and working with social movements.
- An understanding of feminist, decolonial approaches to fundraising from institutional donors, foundations and trusts
- Fluent in English with a strong preference for knowledge of a second language (esp French, Spanish, Portuguese or Arabic)
You should also have a strong commitment to ActionAid’s values and ethos, including ActionAid’s feminist leadership principles.
What we offer:
ActionAid is committed to providing a welcoming, supportive workplace where we recognise a job well done, encourage close collaboration and sharing power, and where safeguarding standards and feminist leadership are exemplified everywhere. At ActionAid, you can look forward to a fair compensation package and a flexible working environment, including
