VACANCY HAS NOW BEEN FILLED

• Permanent role
• Full time with scope for part-time from 80% FTE & flexible working 
• Hybrid working from Leeds office 

The Head of Global Philanthropy is a new senior role responsible for leading the development of major philanthropic partnerships with funding organisations. The post-holder will have responsibility for leading the University’s Trusts & Foundations (T&Fs) fundraising strategy, embedding and developing the programme to significantly increase the levels of funding from this critical income stream.

A confident and entrepreneurial fundraiser, the Head of Global Philanthropy will lead on relationships with a portfolio of major T&F prospects capable of giving seven- and eight-figure gifts, as well as collaborating with colleagues to ensure shared targets for T&Fs income are achieved. The postholder will be a senior member of the Philanthropy leadership team and will work closely with other functional leads and colleagues across the Advancement team and wider University to optimise conditions for ambitious philanthropy.

A key aspect of the role will be to develop propositions for fundraising which align with the University’s strategic priorities and map onto international funder interest, helping to embed fundraising as a key enabler of strategic delivery.

Alongside developing University of Leeds’ relationships with – and income from – T&Fs based in the UK, the postholder will also have significant responsibility and accountability for developing new international funding markets. T&Fs income growth is critical in support of plans to double the University’s philanthropic income from a current average of £10M per annum to £20M per annum, and then towards a target of £30M per annum by 2030.

The role reports to the Deputy Director of Advancement and will also work closely with the Head of Transformational and Major Giving, who leads on individual philanthropy as well as managing the team of fundraisers. All fundraisers have mixed portfolios of individual and organisational prospects, and the Head of Global Philanthropy will provide support and leadership to build capacity and drive momentum in T&Fs income growth. This is a key role at the heart of a passionate team which is committed to delivering ambitious fundraising targets in order to advance educational and research projects that help address global challenges and reduce inequalities.

Who We Are

We fight for menstrual equity and the rights of women and all people who bleed. Menstrual supplies are not cheap, but for anyone with a period, they are, of course, an absolute necessity. Bloody Good Period provides period products to those who can’t afford them, and menstrual education to those less likely to access it. We also help everybody talk about periods, because we believe that everybody should be able to talk about bleeding without shame, and nobody should be at a disadvantage because they menstruate.

About This Role

We are searching for a new strategic leader at Bloody Good Period. The Head of Communications and Campaigns will play a pivotal and strategic role in delivering creative and effective campaigns and comms that align with our wider influencing work, maximising opportunities to influence change as we approach a General Election, and beyond.

Bloody Good Period’s brand and communications have had huge traction and influence in the last few years. Our mission of menstrual equity resonates strongly with a range of stakeholders including individual supporters, corporates, parliamentarians and celebrities, and we have developed a strong brand which is frequently sought after for high-profile partnerships. We are also dialling up the activist movement quality of our work, building on strong foundations in terms of our brand, reputation and relationships.

We think menstrual equity is a bedrock of renewing and improving the way the UK works, and the way we campaign for that and communicate our thoughts and demands will always be fundamental to our success in achieving our mission.

The Head of Communications and Campaigns will be working across the organisation, and crucially alongside our Experts by Experience forum, strengthening our communication strategy whilst developing and implementing an ambitious campaign strategy to engage and mobilise both existing and new supporters.

We are an inclusive, feminist organisation, which champions remote and flexible working, and puts self-care at the heart of what we do. We offer a specific leadership and development programme for BPOC members of the team to develop their careers within the social justice space, and a wellbeing fund to support every team member.

We work hard and deliver, but we do not overwork. We enjoy our work and take pride in it.

We strongly encourage applications from Black and People of Colour, and from those who have lived experience of the issues on which we work, namely period poverty, and/or experience of refugee or asylum-seeker status. While the successful candidate will be selected purely on merit, in the event of a tie between two candidates with equal suitability, we may select a candidate with lived experience of the issues we are seeking to address through our work.

We recognise that many potential candidates who bring the voice and lived experience that we need, may have had less opportunity to develop a track record in these roles. Bloody Good Period prioritises the development needs of everyone who works with us, including in this role.
