Dear Candidate,
I’m delighted to introduce you to this unique and pivotal opportunity that represents a significant investment in our future — it’s about shaping what Comic Relief will look like for the next generation.
The Chief Strategy and Impact Officer will lead a broad and dynamic directorate, encompassing our funding (our grant makers), public fundraising, commercial partnerships, and strategic communications teams. Each of these areas brings different expertise — from progressive funding practices and innovative fundraising to how we tell our stories and inspire public support. The power of this role lies in aligning these capabilities to drive meaningful change and long-term sustainability.
We’re looking for someone who can think big and lead boldly. Someone who can identify emerging opportunities, steer strategic direction, and ensure we remain connected — to our mission, to the public, and to the communities we serve. This is a high-impact role with significant visibility across the organisation, working closely with me and our Board of Trustees to guide Comic Relief into the future.
It’s an incredibly exciting time to join us, and we are genuinely grateful that you are considering bringing your talents to Comic Relief. I wish you all the best with your application and look forward to the possibility of welcoming you to our team.
Warmest regards,
Samir Patel
Chief Executive Officer
Comic Relief
