We are keen to hear from individuals with a background in public fundraising, corporate partnerships, event management, and team development who want to work for a progressive, purpose-driven organisation.

About Us

GOAL has responded to the world's major humanitarian crises since its founding in 1977, working with vulnerable communities in 14 countries across the globe with a dedicated team of 3,000 personnel. While GOAL continues to be an agile first-responder to humanitarian crises, it is also committed to working with vulnerable communities to help them survive crises and support them on the road to recovery.

About the Role
Reporting to the Director of Development and Communications (Director of D&C), the Senior Fundraising Manager (Partnerships and Events) plays an integral role in leading GOAL's public fundraising team in Ireland. The successful candidate will oversee the delivery of GOAL's Corporate, Community, and Events income streams. This includes project management of major fundraising events such as GOAL Mile and Jersey Day, and the stewardship of key corporate supporters and relationships.

The Senior Fundraising Manager will lead on identifying, engaging, and recruiting new supporters to generate sustainable income and grow GOAL's network of volunteers and donors around Ireland and beyond.
