Build relationships that change lives.
At Mercy Ships UK, we’re not just raising funds — we’re enabling life-changing surgeries, strengthening healthcare systems, and restoring hope to thousands of people across Africa.
We’re now looking for a Major Donor Manager to play a key role in growing transformational philanthropy and unlocking significant support for our mission.
This is more than a fundraising role.
This is about building meaningful relationships that lead to real, lasting impact.
- Developing and managing a major donor pipeline (~100 high-value supporters)
- Building deep, long-term relationships with individuals giving five-figure gifts
- Creating tailored donor journeys, proposals and impact reports
- Working closely with senior leaders, Trustees and networks to open new opportunities
- Representing Mercy Ships at events, meetings and across key donor communities
- Proven experience securing major gifts / high-value donations
- A strong relationship-builder who thrives on meaningful engagement
- Confidence working with senior stakeholders and high-net-worth individuals
- Strategic thinking with a hands-on, proactive approach
- A passion for the mission — and the ability to communicate impact in a compelling way
Please note: due to the nature of this role and engagement with our supporter base, there is an occupational requirement for a practising Christian (Equality Act 2010)
Because your work will directly contribute to:
- Free, life-changing surgeries
