Head of Fundraising

We are seeking a highly motivated fundraising leader with an excellent track record of securing substantial grants and major gifts.  This is a fantastic opportunity to work at the heart of the Sustainable Food Trust, helping to ensure the continued growth of our organisational impact.

The role requires someone that is a confident, but sensitive and experienced leader to build new partnerships with funders, as well as strengthening existing relationships. Your work will oversee the processes and systems needed to support effective and coherent delivery of all fundraising activities and help shape organisational priorities and development. With overall responsibility for all areas of fundraising, your work will include securing grants, donor stewardship and corporate partnerships.

About us

The Sustainable Food Trust (SFT) is a small, Bristol-based organisation working globally to accelerate the transition to more sustainable food and farming systems.

SFT’s vision is for farming and land management to operate in harmony with nature, producing food which nourishes both people and planet. We work catalytically and collaboratively, through a combination of high-level lobbying, coalition building, public campaigning, education and media networking. Our recent involvement in high-level partnerships has given us a central and exciting role in convening organisations – including banks, insurance companies, investors, retailers, food companies, farmers and landowners – who are in a position to collectively co-finance a major agricultural transition.

You will work with a global network of funders, especially in the UK and US. If you are passionate about regenerative food systems and have the skills and experience to motivate others, we’d love to hear from you!

We will review applications as they come in on an ongoing basis and close applications when we have found a suitable person for the role.
