Principal Gifts Manager

We’re looking for a Principal Gifts Manager, who will be responsible for developing and maintaining meaningful relationships with those whose generous contributions make a transformational impact on the work we do.

What does this role do?

  • Build and manage relationships with ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families to secure six- and seven-figure multi-year gifts,
  • Develop tailored cultivation, solicitation and stewardship strategies that deliver exceptional donor experiences and long-term engagement,
  • Identify and progress new principal gift prospects, strengthening the pipeline and contributing to long-term income growth,
  • Work closely with senior leaders, trustees, and internal teams to maximise high-value fundraising opportunities and develop compelling cases for support.

Could this be you?

To be successful in this role, you’ll need proven experience of securing six- and seven- figure gifts, from cultivation and stewardship through to “making the ask”. You’ll need significant experience managing a diverse portfolio, and the ability to build, influence and maintain relationships with senior stakeholders and donors. You’ll be highly organised, proactive, and collaborative, and thrive while working in a fast paced environment. A passion for the work we do is essential.

Dogs Trust values diversity, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive culture.
