About T1International
T1International is a global grassroots patient advocacy organization led by people with and impacted by diabetes, with a focus on type 1 diabetes. We believe in a world where everyone with type 1 diabetes has the opportunity to thrive, with affordable and sustainable access to the medicine and supplies they need. We are patient led in our work and values, and our team and community reflect a range of allies and impacted communities from caregivers, to parents, to partners, and those committed to health equity work. T1International (T1I) is leading the charge in the fight for affordable insulin and supplies worldwide. We do not accept funding from the pharmaceutical industry or any medical device manufacturer to maintain our independence and ability to speak out freely.

About the role
The role of the Development Manager is to further solidify our income generation activity, to diversify our funding portfolio across both our UK and US entities and significantly reduce our dependence on a single funder in each.

This role will report to the Development Director, who oversees both the UK and USA fundraising strategies and will work closely with the Development Coordinator. T1I is a remote office environment; you will collaborate with colleagues who are based across the United States and the United Kingdom.
