About the Candidate

We seek an enthusiastic and innovative fundraising and marketing leader who has experience of creating and delivering innovative plans for income generation and who will empower the fundraising and marketing teams to achieve ambitious fundraising, philanthropy and marketing programmes.

As Director of Fundraising and Marketing you will report to the CEO as part of the organisational senior leadership team. You will also work closely with the Board and chair the internal fundraising steering committee.

To deliver in this role you will require an extensive track record of developing and implementing strategic plans to achieve income growth across sustainable fundraising channels to generate funds.

This is an exciting opportunity for a proactive, successful fundraising specialist with a growth mindset and a customer-centric approach, and who will be responsible for driving a high-performance culture of accountability in teams.

You will bring significant lengthy experience of planning, executing and evaluating fundraising programmes, recommending investment plans and overseeing budgets, KPIs and ensuring decision-making based on data and analytics.

Purpose of the role

We are at an exciting phase in our organisational development, with ambitious growth plans nationally and internationally. We have invested in people and systems and our volunteer Board has endorsed our innovative new plans.

This will require close and collaborative working in partnership with the leadership in trading, public affairs and programme to ensure coherent fundraising and marketing propositions for all relevant audiences.

Success in this role will rely on building, supporting, and motivating the right teams throughout Ireland to drive shared vision and deliver on organisational objectives.  Given Oxfam Ireland’s close relationship with Oxfam Great Britain in particular, and our shared history in Northern Ireland specifically, it will demand close working relationships and a joint venture approach to brand and public engagement in that region.

The successful candidate will also become a member of Oxfam International’s fundraising and marketing leadership team, contributing to and driving global strategy and realising the added value that being an affiliate of Oxfam brings across income generation, global marketing and brand.

The Director of Fundraising and Marketing will ensure internal coherence across a range of areas ensuring alignment with peers to deliver best outcomes for Oxfam. The Director will be responsible for building relationships within Oxfam and externally in Ireland, representing Oxfam Ireland at key national forums and globally when required.
