Setting and achieving ambitious fundraising targets, that are part of our global development strategy. The ultimate goal is to be a net contributor to our global fundraising efforts.

Identifying and qualifying new philanthropic prospects.
Building strong, meaningful, long-term relationships with major donors and prospects (both individuals and foundations) across Asia Pacific to attract, maintain and expand their support.
Helping keep our supporters up to date with our activities and impact.
Ensuring accurate, timely and thorough correspondence, acknowledgement and record-keeping at all stages of the donor journey. You will use our CRM system (Salesforce) to manage your portfolio, ensure correct donor data, pull reports, and analyse data.
Coordinating closely with global GFI development colleagues, including aligning around donor strategies, participating in regular meetings (these may be outside of regular working hours, with colleagues in different time zones), and providing impact reports for stewardship purposes.
Coordinating with and providing support as needed to the global Foundation Relations Team with regard to prospective foundations and soliciting and stewarding grants.

Profile

Who we are looking for:

As our Associate Director of Philanthropy, we want you to have:

A passion for our philosophy and mission.
A proven track record (8+ years) of cultivating relationships with major donors and securing significant gifts. Institutional fundraising experience would be an advantage.
The ability to persuasively make the case for support for GFI and to represent GFI to our stakeholders.
Positivity and a genuine love of working with other people: a passion for building warm, long-lasting relationships with our family of supporters, motivating them to maintain and increase their support.
Positive energy, a can-do attitude, bringing solutions rather than seeing constraints, thinking outside of the box, creative, and a proactive mindset.
Conscientiousness and attention to detail in recording and tracking interactions with donors and prospects: comfort with the ‘science’, as well as the ‘art’, of fundraising.
Comfort working remotely in a rapidly-growing and evolving organisation: the ability to work well independently and under pressure, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and meet deadlines.
A very strong work ethic and self-motivation; a sense of ownership and responsibility to drive outcomes and get things done.
The ability to work in an organised and structured manner.
A willingness to travel throughout APAC in pursuit of philanthropic opportunities.
Ability to manage a non-traditional schedule as needed between travel and accommodating meetings with international colleagues.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese, or another regional language would be an advantage.
