Freelance Director of Income Cambridgeshire, UK

I can offer organisations 12 years experience in strategic sales, marketing and business development at a senior level within the private and third sector. I have considerable expertise as a sales consultant, sales manager and statutory fundraiser, with a broad range of skills and attributes that lend themselves to the consulting environment. I believe I bring the best of the private sector together with a thorough understanding and empathy for the challenges of the third sector, particularly around statutory and venture philanthropy fundraising. I am an excellent tender/bid writer which has resulted in a 2:3 success rate on both grants and contracts, with the ability to write compelling proposals and pitches to different audiences. I have also been responsible for developing and bringing new products to market to ensure a diversity of income streams as part of the drive to sustainability and growth. I am comfortable working at all levels of an organisation from CEO’s to project workers. I am intuitive and practical, an excellent trouble-shooter who is as happy to work ‘off the hoof’ as they are to work in a planned and structured way.
