Greenpeace UK is an independent national/regional organisation within the global Greenpeace campaigning network, which acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. The global network of Greenpeace organisations comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations with presence in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a coordinating and supporting organisation, Greenpeace International.

Essential skills and experience:

• Full-spectrum legacy fundraising experience, across both legacy marketing and legacy administration

• Ability to operate at Head-level, including experience of developing and delivering strategy, while remaining close to delivery

• Line management experience with ability to lead and motivate teams, building capability and performance

• Budget experience must include managing similar levels of investment (six-figures+)

• Strong understanding of the UK legacy market, trends and best practice

• Experience of working across teams and influencing stakeholders to deliver shared outcomes

• Confidence operating at a senior level within a complex, multi-stakeholder organisation

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and inspire a wide range of audiences

• A proactive, opportunity-focused approach — able to connect ideas, spot potential and make things happen

• A genuine commitment to Greenpeace’s mission, values and commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

Desirable: 

• Experience of leading an organisation or function through a period of legacy growth
