About us

Greenpeace is a global network of campaigning organisations, working for a green and peaceful future. It comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations (NROs) in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a co-ordinating organisation, Greenpeace International. We expose global environmental problems and force positive changes through research, lobbying and non-violent direct action. 

Greenpeace does not accept funding from governments or corporations - our work is powered entirely by people and foundations who believe in a greener, fairer world.

About the role

This full-time position based in Stockholm is dedicated to maximizing major gifts by providing strategic direction for individual private giving and executing direct donor stewardship across the Nordic region (Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland).

This is a unique opportunity to play a key leadership role in Greenpeace’s most ambitious fundraising effort yet - a global capital campaign to secure the resources needed for a new era of environmental action.

As Greenpeace embarks on this journey to expand our capacity to confront the climate and biodiversity crises, you will lead the capital campaign work across the Nordic region, inspiring major philanthropists to stand with us for a livable planet.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

• Relationship building and management: Initiating, deepening, and managing one-on-one relationships with a portfolio of prospective and current major donors.
• Fundraising and Solicitation: Successfully soliciting Major Gifts and developing a robust pipeline of prospects through donor cultivation and engagement strategies.
• Project Leadership: Taking the lead role in implementing and driving our global Capital Campaign in the Nordic region.
• Donor Stewardship: Creating and executing inspiring and appropriate stewardship activities, including 'on the ground' tours that showcase our direct impact.
• Represent Greenpeace to external audiences - philanthropists, networks, and partner organisations - with credibility, authenticity, and passion.
• Collaborate with international stakeholders to align philanthropic opportunities with Greenpeace’s bold vision for systemic environmental change.
• Contribute to the long-term growth of Greenpeace Nordic’s Major Gifts programme by identifying new opportunities, sharing insights, and nurturing a culture of strategic philanthropy.

The role collaborates closely with the broader High Value team, which manages the Swedish Postcode Lottery and Trust & Foundations work. It is expected that we support each other across the entire High Value team as needed.
