Dougie Mac is not just seeking a Senior Business and Events Fundraiser – we are inviting a compassionate advocate to join our hospice mission.

You’ll be responsible for forging meaningful partnerships with local businesses, hosting engaging events that inspire generosity, and nurturing long‑term relationships with corporate sponsors. This role requires someone who can express gratitude, maintain strong relationships, and show supporters the real impact of their contributions.

You will be part of our vibrant Business & Events team – a fast‑paced environment where no two days are the same.

• Stewardship:

• Excellence:
  Striving for excellence in everything you do, with strong attention to detail.
• Networking:
  Someone who naturally connects with people – the person who turns a casual chat into a partnership opportunity.
• Strategic Thinker:
  Able to see the big picture and link fundraising opportunities to our hospice mission.
• Great Communicator:
  Confident and compelling, whether presenting to a room or chatting one‑to‑one.
