About INTRAC
INTRAC is unashamedly for civil society. We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change. This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.
Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with. Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.
About the role
The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change. We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.
You will have significant experience and a proven track record in developing and delivering fundraising strategy, particularly focused on trusts, foundations and philanthropy, taking a relationship-based approach to build partnerships with organisations that share similar values and vision.
You will work with the team to build our capability, partnership, systems and processes to steward relationships, develop grants and manage their delivery. Working with our Communications Co-ordinator you will help to build INTRAC’s profile and position in line with our strategic vision and ambitions. You will have active support from the CEO along with strong board commitment to help develop and deliver this role.
This is a part time role (0.6-0.8 FTE); initially offered as an eighteen month contract with the intention to extend should the role be successful.
We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, people with disabilities, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams.
We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction. We do not have a straightforward way to do this currently, but we would like to explore this further with potential applicants, and would encourage you to consider the role if you are based outside the UK. Please contact us on jennyageorge32 [at] gmail.com to discuss details. Please note, whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world in the country where you are resident, we will not sponsor visa applications.
