It’s an exciting time to join the Rugby Portobello Trust.

As we expand our reach and deepen our impact, we are investing in the next phase of our fundraising growth, and we’re looking for an ambitious, strategic fundraising leader to help drive that forward.

As Senior Fundraising and Engagement Manager
, you'll help deliver our income-generating strategy across special events, challenge events and campaigns while helping to refine and improve our donor journey to strengthen connections with our supporters. You’ll help shape how we tell our story, deepen supporter relationships and grow unrestricted income to ensure our long-term sustainability.

This role blends leadership with operational delivery, making it a great opportunity for an experienced fundraiser looking to move into leadership for the first time. In the role, you will:
