Job Description

Are you a confident, energetic communicator who thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment? Do you want to be a key player in a forward-thinking, ambitious team making a real difference?

We’re looking for a passionate, results-focused individual with a background in fundraising, business development, or sales – whether that’s in the private, public, or non-profit sector. You’ll bring a strong commercial mindset paired with a mission-led approach, and you’ll know how to build, manage and prioritise a supporter or partner pipeline to maximise return on investment.

This is a role for someone who’s comfortable with targets and thrives on hitting – and exceeding – income generation goals.

You’ll enjoy pitching your ideas in person and crafting compelling proposals that drive results. With this brand-new role, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to shape and grow it, bringing fresh ideas and an innovative spirit whilst contributing to making a real difference in your community.

As Development Manager at Foundation of Light, you’ll play a vital role in accelerating our commercial growth. You’ll lead on generating income through partnerships, memberships, fundraising events, grants from trusts and foundations, and wider commercial opportunities at the Beacon of Light.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running with transferable skills – someone who sees opportunities, seizes them, and turns great ideas into income. In return, you’ll be part of a collaborative, ambitious team with the opportunity to grow professionally, expand our network of long-term partners, and make a tangible impact through your work.
