Head of Philanthropy
About the British Asian Trust:
The British Asian Trust is a diaspora-led international development organisation, delivering high quality programmes in South Asia. Since our formation, we have reached the lives of over 18 million people across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka with high-impact interventions to address the subcontinent’s critical unmet needs in areas of livelihoods, mental health, education, child protection and conservation.
About the role:
The British Asian Trust is entering an important phase in our development. Building on strong foundations, we see significant opportunity to accelerate our impact by growing and diversifying our philanthropic income, deepening partnerships, and expanding our reach across the UK, South Asia and emerging global markets, including the UAE and North America.
To help realise this ambition, we are seeking an exceptional Head of Philanthropy. We are looking for someone who brings ambition, creativity and clarity of purpose. Someone who can work collaboratively with senior leadership, Trustees and volunteers to inspire generosity, build trusted relationships and develop compelling opportunities for philanthropic support.
This role will suit a results-focussed leader with the confidence to operate at the highest levels, the curiosity to explore new models of giving, and the drive to translate strategic priorities into meaningful impact for the communities we serve.
This is a distinctive opportunity to help shape the future of philanthropy at the British Asian Trust, and to play a central role in delivering change at scale for millions of people across South Asia.
