- Steward sponsors and major donors before, during and after
- Keep the team updated on income and progress against target
About you
- Proven track record raising funds, through events, sponsorship or major donors
- Experience planning and delivering live events, end to end
- An existing network of sponsors, donors or partners you can call on
- Confident pitching, negotiating and closing and equally happy managing event detail
- A genuine self-starter who can carry a project with minimal oversight
- London-based and able to attend meetings and the September event in person
- Motivated by MAF's mission in global health [charity/INGO experience desirable]
