About Ripple Effect

Established in 1988 (as Send a Cow), Ripple Effect is a dynamic and passionate international development charity on a mission to create a powerful and lasting impact. Our vision is to see a rural Africa that is confident, thriving, and sustainable, with a growing economy and higher living standards for all. At Ripple Effect, we've honed our focus on three critical areas: Sustainable Agriculture, Gender and Social Inclusion, and Enterprise Development. Through these pillars, we're dedicated to combating poverty and nurturing a vibrant, thriving African landscape that will thrive for generations to come.

About the Role

Join our Fundraising Intelligence team and play a key role in powering Ripple Effect’s fundraising success. Support our fundraising by researching new funding opportunities, strengthening supporter relationships that will help to grow Ripple Effect’s impact.

This function drives impact with high quality research and intelligence that opens the door to new funding opportunities, strengthens supporter relationships, and helps us meet our ambitious income goals.

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive, and motivated to support fundraising through high quality research and insight. You’ll be confident managing multiple tasks at once, comfortable working to deadlines, and able to adapt when priorities shift. Strong organisational and time management skills are essential, as is the ability to communicate clearly and present information in a concise, user friendly way.

You’ll bring a curious mindset, and you’ll have excellent attention to detail with a methodical approach to your work. Knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Teams and Outlook is beneficial. We’re also looking for someone who can handle sensitive information with discretion and good judgement, and who thrives when collaborating with colleagues across teams and countries.

A creative, solutions-focused approach to research, strong information management, and a commitment to Ripple Effect’s values of integrity, accountability, and compassion will help you excel.

What we Offer

As well as a rewarding career with a global charity, you’ll get access to a wide range of benefits, including;

• Pension
