Summary
Job Advert
We are almost two years into our ambitious organisational strategy, and this is an exciting moment to join Cycling UK as our
Philanthropy Manager. Cycling UK’s public fundraising programme is at a pivotal stage of development. The Philanthropy Manager
will play a central role in shaping and accelerating this next phase, leading the growth of major gift and legacy income through
strong donor relationships, compelling propositions and high-quality stewardship.
You don’t need to be a cyclist to work at Cycling UK, but you do need to have a strong commitment to our work. This is a senior
role with real opportunity to influence direction, build capability and embed philanthropy at the heart of the organisation.
Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and colleagues across Cycling UK, the postholder will help transform a developing
philanthropy programme into a mature, relationship-led income stream that delivers sustainable growth over the long term.
We are an inclusive organisation and would particularly welcome applications from candidates from a broad range of backgrounds. We
strongly believe that diversity strengthens our work. If you are already passionate about cycling, that’s great, many of us are
too! But if you are simply really excellent at what you do, no matter what your background, that is what matters most to us.
Explore the attached job description for full details on this exciting opportunity. Complete the application form expressing why
you are the right candidate for this opening. Focus on gearing your supporting statement to exemplify how your skills and
experience match the requirements of the role, directly referring to the person specification. This enables the selection panel to
assess your relative strengths against the specified criteria.
The role is home based in the UK, with regular meetings in London and travel across the UK as required.
