About the role
Our Head of Business Development is going on maternity leave for 4 months from September. We are looking for somebody who can join our growing team as soon as possible to contribute to our FY25/26 income targets and cover part of the functions of the Head of Business Development while she’s on leave. The Head of Business Development manages the Development team, which covers the business development, marketing and communications functions, and works with the CEO to ensure that the organisation grows in a strategic and balanced way.
The Social Change Nest is at a very exciting time. We continue a trajectory of steep growth, onboarding and supporting hundreds of new groups every year. We are working closely with funders across the UK and worldwide, helping them move large amounts of funding to unincorporated movements at the frontlines of social change. We are spending more time than ever raising awareness on how capital flows impact the ability of communities to create change, and how we can hack the system to enable more money to flow in an equitable way to unincorporated movements.
We are looking for somebody who is excited about all this and ready to hit the ground running. We are in the middle of a large capital raise, so we would like the ideal candidate to join the team as soon as possible (ideally June 2025) to work closely with the Head of Development and the CEO, as well as the rest of the Development team, for 3 months, before the Head of Development goes on maternity leave. The Senior Development Manager will then take over part of the team support responsibilities of the Head of Development, and share responsibility for the income targets with the CEO for the months that the Head of Development is on leave.
