Head of Business Development (Full-Time)
Secure investment into community leadership. Build partnerships that create national impact. Shape the future of the Muslim voice in Britain to strengthen all communities.
all
At the National Zakat Foundation we are entering a new phase: moving beyond transactional charity to building a national, structured Muslim community which is confident, connected, and capable of shaping its own future.
To get there, we need investment – long-term, strategic capital that builds leaders, systems, and local community infrastructure across the UK.
That’s where you come in.
The Role
As Head of Business Development, you will design and secure the funding that powers NZF’s next chapter. You will lead our shift toward securing long-term and sustainable investment, building partnerships with major donors, corporations, trusts, foundations and high-value networks who want to back a long-term vision for Britain.
Working closely with the CEO and senior leadership, you will create investable propositions that strengthen:
- Regional Muslim leadership structures
- Community convening and governance ecosystems
- Skills, employment and economic mobility programmes
- Research, data and policy influence
Key Responsibilities
1. Design high-value investment opportunities
Convert elements of NZF’s new strategy into compelling fundable programmes — from leadership pipelines to local community hubs.
2. Lead income growth beyond zakat
Build sustainable non-zakat revenue streams, including major gifts, long-term philanthropic investment, corporate partnerships, and trusts/foundations.
3. Build strategic relationships
Develop and manage senior relationships with funders, HNWIs, business leaders, philanthropists and institutional partners.
4. Create a national investment narrative
Work with the CEO and content team to articulate a clear case for investing in structured Muslim community building.
5. Strengthen community-led infrastructure
Ensure funding flows to local leadership, regional networks and community institutions aligned to NZF’s strategy.
6. Develop pipelines and systems for long-term growth
Forecast income, manage prospect pipelines, and strengthen internal systems for partnership development.
We’re Looking For
- A strategic thinker who sees fundraising as investment, not just income generation.
- A natural relationship-builder with credibility among senior donors and partners.
- Someone who can turn complex ideas into compelling pitches and partnership proposals.
- A person who thrives in a visionary environment while building something new for the community and the country.
- Experience in major gifts, partnerships or philanthropic investment (charity, corporate or public sector).
If you’re excited by the idea of shaping the future of British Muslim community leadership and mobilising the resources to make it real — we’d love to hear from you.
