About the Role
Play a key role in helping grow and sustain the philanthropic income that enables EJA to deliver ambitious legal and advocacy work for nature, climate and communities.
With a strong focus on grants, trusts, foundations and philanthropic partnerships, you will help lead the work to identify and develop strategic funding opportunities, build and steward strong relationships, and translate EJA’s complex legal, advocacy and campaign work into compelling cases for support and communications about our impact.
You will also take a senior role in EJA’s established Philanthropy program, working alongside fundraising colleagues, Co-CEOs and senior leaders to shape relationship strategies, deepen donor engagement and support the acquisition and stewardship of significant donor relationships.
The position is an ongoing full-time role, and a 0.8 work week will be considered.
