ABOUT OUR CLIENT

There is greatness within every teenager. Sometimes silent, sometimes raging, sometimes shining, sometimes stuck - it is there waiting to be discovered and encouraged.

Soar helps teens discover who they are and what they can achieve. They believe that exploration of the question “Who am I?” is a pathway to living an authentic life.

Soar connects with teens to explore their inner character – follow their true path – and not what’s pushed on them by society, adults, peers and the media.

Soar delivers day-long programmes to teenagers in the school system. Its programmes comprise four unique key elements that are designed to provide engaging, authentic, and transformative environments for young people.

ABOUT THE ROLE

SOAR is seeking a dynamic and strategic Fundraising Manager to play a key role in driving the organisation's growth and sustainability.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with the CEO and engage with top leaders in the Irish business community, all while contributing to a mission that transforms lives.

The Fundraising Manager will lead efforts to secure new income from corporates, foundations, and individuals, building and nurturing relationships to achieve successful outcomes. This role involves developing and managing tailored donor portfolios and crafting impactful fundraising campaigns. The manager will also ensure that SOAR's mission and funding priorities are effectively communicated through compelling materials, all while delivering top-tier donor satisfaction and loyalty.

Ideal candidates will have a proven track record in fundraising, business development, or account management, with a deep understanding of the fundraising landscape. Exceptional communication skills, the ability to build strong relationships, and proficiency in CRM systems like Salesforce are essential.
