About the role
We are living through a decisive chapter in human history. The polycrises are accelerating before our eyes, yet people continue to rise, resist, and reimagine what is possible. At Greenpeace Nordic, this moment demands more from us: more courage, more imagination, and more action. We are looking for someone who shares our belief that boldness is exactly what the world needs right now, and who can inspire our donors to build a better future with us. With the coming Great Wealth Transfer, you will play a critical role in securing greater legacy income, ensuring that the resources we need to protect our planet and power our campaigns are sustained for generations to come.
This full-time position based in Stockholm is a regional role, responsible for developing the long term legacy strategy, together with the Fundraising Management, as well as implementation of the strategy across the region (Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway). The role is also responsible for expanding the Middle Donor programme and subsequent donor event management related to legacy and middle donor engagement.
The Legacy Fundraiser is responsible for growing and maximising legacy income by ensuring donors are aware of, inspired by and engaged in the idea of Legacy giving. The role’s responsibilities also include:
Proactive marketing and acquisition activities
Prospecting and developing donors within the legacy pipeline
Delivering high-quality donor experience and tailored stewardship
Managing inheritance distributions and estate inventories
Ensuring effective administration of legacies
Liaising with solicitors and families to ensure the value of bequests is maximised
In this role, you’ll be the central point for Legacy Giving, working closely with fundraising colleagues across the Nordic region to coordinate and support the local implementation of our legacy strategy. This role is supported by both Donor Care fundraisers and Fundraising Management, who will play an active role in delivering key activities locally.

Workplace & Culture
The heart of Greenpeace has always been its people. People are our special power. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by passionate individuals who work together for a greener world and to create positive change. Not all of us are activists; confronting wrongdoings in the frontlines, but what we all share is a quest for a greener and more peaceful future. Whether in a staff role, a volunteer with the actions team, or an intern keen to learn, everyone plays a special part in our campaigning network.
That same passion and commitment goes into everything we do, from organizing crucial campaigns and tactics, working together on projects, team gatherings, taking part in employee resource groups, organizing Nordic Annual Away Days, to office re-planting parties; taking care of our plants and trees.
Key principles that guide us are our Cultural lenses. The lenses support the culture we want to achieve while working together and have been created and agreed upon by all staff. In summary there are 8 lenses; Collaboration, Trust, Relational, Inclusion & Diversity, Openness, Agility, Accountability & Decision and Taking Leadership.
