About the role

WSUP is looking for an experienced marketing professional with a passion for helping organisations deliver better products, services, and experiences for their customers. This role is NOT primarily concerned with marketing of WSUP itself, nor marketing for fundraising.

 A huge part of WSUP’s approach involves strengthening service providers within our programme countries, to serve the needs of their poorest and most vulnerable consumer segments. This means working with water utilities, sanitation businesses, innovators and enterprises to ensure low-income communities have access to clean water and safe, dignified toilet facilities, and practice positive hygiene behaviours. It is these organisations to which we are providing marketing insight and support. This ties to one of our organisational values which is ‘To Think Business’.

There has never been a more important time to join the Age UK fundraising team. Against a backdrop of a broken social care system and millions already turning to Age UK for help, older people are amongst those hardest hit by the current pandemic. Calls to our trusted Advice Line have doubled and requests for telephone friendship have trebled. We have been moved by the public support for our Coronavirus Emergency Appeal, but we must raise vital future funds to ensure we can be there to help and support older people as they rebuild their lives.

We are investing in an ambitious Fundraising strategy to help us deeply engage more supporters and partners in our work, so that we can be there for the millions of older people who need someone to turn to.

In this role you will need excellent understanding of direct marketing, experience acquiring new customers/supporters and managing large direct response campaigns.

In this role you will be able to further develop your skills by managing our large multichannel campaigns, using research and audience insight to optimise activity, and new product/journey development, whilst making a significant difference to older people most in need.

The Children’s Society has been helping children and young people in this country for over 140 years. We campaign to change policy. We work to change systems that are set up to stand in the way of young people. And we run local services that support children directly when the policies and systems have failed them. We’re here for children, every step of the way.  

This is a rare opportunity to join our Social Impact Domain until the end of 2022 – covering parental leave. In Social Impact, our focus is on elevating young people's voices; addressing public perceptions of the challenges young people face; and attracting, retaining, and mobilising support - through voice, time, and money. Your role is critical to deepening relationships and inspire loyalty in a community of people who’ve taken an action to support our work. 

The role 

Have you spent years developing your skills in membership engagement, movement building or income generation? Maybe you’ve done all of those. Do you love a brand challenge? Are you persuasive, passionate, pioneering, and looking for the role that maximises all of your skills, talent, and experience? 
As our Head of National Engagement and Loyalty, you’ll be responsible for building a movement of supporters who are just as passionate about young people’s rights as you are. You’ll use your communication skills to increase people’s understanding of the challenges that young people face. You’ll put young people right at the centre of our work and, together, you’ll create opportunities that appeal to our supporters. You’ll commission insight that enhances our work and provides direction. You’ll use your cross-channel marketing experience to encourage audiences to give their time, money and voice to help us reach our 2030 goal. 
Us 

After a tumultuous time through Covid, we’ve emerged with a sharp vision and ambition for children and young people. We’re throwing all we have at overturning the damaging decline in children’s wellbeing by the end of 2030. We plan to set a path for lasting growth in wellbeing for young people. We focus on children who are abused, exploited, or neglected, and we challenge the very systems that let them down. We’ve got the battle of a lifetime ahead. 

To meet the challenge, we’re overhauling how we operate. We’re establishing radical new ways of working that will create incredible impact for young people. We’re transforming a traditional charity structure into an agile, dynamic, fully integrated approach. That’s where you come in. We’re redesigning many of our ways of working. And we’re continuing to deliver critical projects that engage our audiences. 
You 

You’re an excellent leader who encourages people to try new things. You’re passionate about young people’s lives. You want to create communications and deepen relationships to change attitudes and inspire action. 
You support people in a test and learn environment – someone who makes failure an option. You’ll have great experience in supporter relationships, nurture, and income generation. You’ll be on board with change and our direction of travel so that you can help colleagues on the journey. You’ll inspire colleagues to push the boundaries of possibility, and you’ll support people through a period of high change. Your vision and ambition comes with a healthy sense of what's possible with what we have available to us today. You will hold closely the people in your care. And you know what “good-enough” looks like! 

You’ll work alongside some wonderful talented people who will inspire and motivate you every day. You’ll be brave, take risks and exceed expectations, encouraging colleagues to do the same. We can promise you that everything we do here matters. We’re fortunate to serve alongside some of the most incredible young people in our country. We honour them by fighting for their future as hard as they do. If reading this got you excited, we’d love to hear from you… 
To be successful in this role, you'll have:  

• Strong financial modelling and complex budgeting experience 
• Fantastic coaching, nurturing, and leadership skills (ideally with change management experience) 
• Developed and implemented audience engagement strategies 
• Multi-channel direct and brand response experience 
• Planned and managed supporter engagement campaigns 
• Sound knowledge of marketing and fundraising regulations and best practice 

The Children's Society and Safeguarding 

The Children’s Society runs over 100 local services that help thousands of young people who desperately need our support, and we campaign to get laws and policies changed to make children’s lives happier and safer.  

Every day we’re changing the lives of children in this country for the better – and with your help, tomorrow we can be there for even more.  

The Children’s Society is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people that we work with.  As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks.  We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures in place which promote safeguarding and safer working practices across our services.
