New York, New York, United States Compassion in World Farming Full time

Are you passionate about making a tangible difference in
the world, and believe in the power of philanthropy to enact real
change? If so, we invite you to join us, as our US Director of
Philanthropy at Compassion in World Farming.

Background:

Compassion in World Farming International was founded in 1967 in
England by Peter Roberts, a British farmer who became horrified by
the development of intensive factory farming. Over 50 years ago,
Peter decided to make a difference and take a stand against this
farming system. In his lifetime, Peter saw the demise of veal
crates and gestation crates in the UK, and in Europe achieved
recognition that animals are sentient beings. Compassion in World
Farming, Inc was incorporated in 2014 and received 501(c)(3) status
in 2015. The USA is an important international office for
Compassion, as part of our increasing global reach.

Join us in our mission to create a more compassionate
world for all beings.

As our US Director of Philanthropy, you will join a talented,
driven and passionate global fundraising team, and have a vital
role in leading our philanthropy program in the US in support of
our mission to end factory farming for the benefit of animals,
people and planet. We have come a long way in the past few years,
establishing a professional integrated international philanthropy
team with new investment to support our ambitious growth strategy.
Working closely with our UK HQ and our global team, you'll craft
and execute strategies that not only meet ambitious global income
targets, but also resonate with our supporters' values and
beliefs.

As part of this pivotal role, your duties will include, but not
be limited to:

Lead US philanthropy team to meet strategic growth goals,
working closely with the Global Director of Fundraising, US ED and
International Head of Philanthropy
Identify, cultivate, solicit and steward high level donors with
a focus on individuals, foundations and corporations capable of
$50,000 donations and above.
Manage staff of 2 fundraisers (1 trusts and foundations, 1
individual major giving).
Build on the solid base of major donors and strategic partners,
to personally identify and grow our connections with
philanthropists, institutions and companies who might support and
promote our global work, both in the US and internationally, to
meet and exceed our targets.
Motivate your team and colleagues to help build engaging
narratives and projects that increase support from existing and new
donors and promote the importance, scale and urgency of our
mission.
Play an active role in the Global Fundraising Senior Management
Team (SMT) and Global Philanthropy Team (GPT), contributing to both
strategy, budgets and operational plans, presenting progress to the
wider team and organisation, and representing the Global
Fundraising department as required both internally and
externally.
Represent Compassion in World Farming at external conferences,
events and meetings, as opportunities arise.
Develop and deliver US philanthropy targets, including renewal
gifts and new business (from 1 April 2024 our annual goal is
$2.1M).
Work with our existing global systems (e.g. CRM, finance),
policies (e.g. ethical fundraising, expenses) and processes (e.g.
the Philanthropy Manual) to deliver the objectives of this role in
a compliant, collaborative and efficient way.

This is an exciting time to join the Global Fundraising Team at
Compassion in World Farming and contribute to delivering our
mission to end factory farming by 2040. With growing awareness of
the impact of factory farming not only on animal welfare, but on
human health and the environment, now is a unique moment to be
raising funds for Compassion's work and bringing new donors on
board. Annual income from major philanthropic partners in the US,
UK and Europe has continued to grow, and our Global Philanthropy
team of 11 staff, has ambitious growth targets over the coming
years.
About you:

To succeed in this role, you will need to exhibit the highest
standards of integrity and ethical conduct, as the successful
candidate you will have relevant qualifications and previous
fundraising experience, including closing six-figure gifts. You
will be adept at fostering relationships, securing high-level
philanthropic contributions, and help to propel the growth of our
US philanthropy programme in support of our global mission. You
will possess a well-defined strategic acumen and be adept at
articulating and delivering a compelling vision, that will help to
steer our philanthropy programme towards success.

You will need to have proven experience with mentoring and
leading high-performing team members. You'll have previous
experience of budgetary management and be well-versed in IT
applications, such as Microsoft Office and fundraising databases,
experience of working for an international non-profit, and/or in
the animal welfare / environmental space would be an advantage.
Your unwavering dedication and passion drive you to make a tangible
difference in the world. Together, let us realise our
mission to create a more compassionate world for
all.
