Director of Fundraising
The Labour Party
Hybrid, based at the Head Office, London
Salary banding 53
The Labour Party has always been about people. It was formed to stand on the side of working people, and it has sought power in order to improve their lives. Labour has changed Britain for the better, through the most progressive governments in history.
Our country stands at a critical crossroads. After years of division, public trust in our institutions has been deeply eroded. Fuelled by online cynicism, the threat of populism and the rise of the far right are no longer distant risks; they are real, pressing dangers to the fabric of our democracy.
As we approach the next General Election, Labour has a historic opportunity to demonstrate that politics can still be a force for good. We must show the British people the enduring power of our values: fairness, security, and opportunity for working people.
To deliver this change, we cannot stand still. We need to build a powerful coalition of support, driving the pace and progress required to win. This means securing and leveraging the vital financial backing and resources needed to power our campaigns, defeat the politics of division, and deliver a government of national renewal.
THE ROLE
As our next Director of Fundraising, you will lead our ambition to grow and diversify our income in a way that is sustainable, resilient and rooted in long-term relationships. This is a unique opportunity to build on a strong foundation of existing supporters while developing new partnerships that will help us broaden our reach and secure the resources needed to deliver lasting impact.
As our strategic lead for fundraising, you will champion a culture where income generation is recognised as a shared responsibility across the organisation. Drawing on a strong track record of success, you will inspire colleagues, strengthen collaboration and embed best practice to maximise opportunities for growth.
You will be confident in building trusted relationships across a diverse range of stakeholders, navigating complex and sensitive situations with integrity, sound judgement and emotional intelligence. Above all, you will share our commitment to creating meaningful partnerships that deliver positive outcomes for the communities and causes we serve.
The great thing about working for Labour is that we are not powered by profit but by a desire to create a fairer, better society. Our staff are motivated and inspired by the fact that together we can achieve more than we can alone. If you believe you can offer the skills, experience and personal qualities we are looking for, we look forward to hearing from you.
