This role is all about supercharging local fundraising operations: working closely with our MPs and key parliamentary candidates to help grow income and build long-term donor engagement.

In some cases, you’ll be working hands-on: helping identify and cultivate donors, plan events, and manage relationships. In others, your role will be more advisory: equipping candidates with the tools, strategy, and oversight they need to run their own effective fundraising operations.

Key Responsibilities

Work with MPs and candidates to grow their income by:

• Developing fundraising plans
• Identifying prospects
• Cultivating relationships
• Organising fundraising events
• Supporting event briefings and refining pitches/asks
• Attending events and following up with donors to secure gifts
• We’re looking for a confident, motivated, and highly organised individual; someone who is excited to help grow an engagement programme at a pivotal political moment.

Skills and Experience

• Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with MPs, candidates, high-net-worth donors, and prospective donors.
• Outstanding writing and communication skills, ideally with experience drafting materials for donors
• Excellent organisational and time management abilities; ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively.
• Comfortable building relationships via different channels: by phone, video call, in person, and by email.
• Research skills to support donor identification & attention to detail in tracking interactions & progress. Project management experience would be helpful.
• A background in fundraising or high-value relationship management would be helpful, or similar experience engaging stakeholders in nuanced & meaningful conversations.
• Technologically confident: we use Google Workspace products (Gmail, Sheets, Drive, Calendar, etc.)
• Flexibility to work some evenings and weekends, and occasional travel to London.
• Sympathy with the aims and values of the Liberal Democrats.
