Senior Manager, Philanthropic Partnerships
We’re seeking our first Senior Manager, Philanthropic Partnerships to drive and define the trajectory of WeForest’s philanthropic, institutional and HNWI funding stream as our scope and impact grow. This is a new role, designed to bring leadership and continuity to WeForest’s Philanthropic Partnerships team and portfolio. The Senior Manager will provide critical support to the senior leadership team toward WeForest’s strategy and mission, playing a key role in doubling our impact over the next three years.

Reporting to the Director of Fundraising, the Senior Manager plays a pivotal role in securing and nurturing high-impact partnerships with philanthropic foundations, institutional donors, and HNWI that make substantial investments in WeForest. This role is intricately tied to both strategy and relationship management, connecting in-depth program understanding with high-value, personalised funding initiatives. You will have a key role in exploring new sectors and geographies to enhance our portfolio and diversify our income streams. 

As Senior Manager, Philanthropic Partnerships, your task is twofold: cultivating new relationships and strengthening existing ones to grow both our visibility and your portfolio – reaching €5-6M annually in the next two years. Beyond that, your priority will be leading a team that manages the sharing and consolidation of project details and data – acting as a core nexus between fundraising and our broader organisation.
