Business development and marketing manager jobs
Context and Background
The NSPCC’s mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We share it. It drives our Engagement and Fundraising team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse.
Within the Engagement and Fundraising Directorate, our aim is to maximise resources for the NSPCC’s mission by raising funds, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term relationships between donors and our cause.
To continue to deliver our mission we rely on the fundraising support of people across the UK for 90% of our annual income.
The Prospect Development Team sits within the Supporter Management Team within Philanthropy & Partnerships department but works across the whole of Engagement & Fundraising. Primarily, the team supports the Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships fundraising teams in their prospecting and fundraising strategies. The team’s role is to help colleagues understand their supporters at an individual level, but also to bring to the forefront the key trends and milestones in their journeys within the NSPCC. We aim to match opportunities for giving and engagement with our supporters’ charitable interests.

At the NSPCC, we understand how important it is that our workforce is representative of the people we support and who support us.

Lead on the development of fundraising support to our 42 cathedrals. A test-and-learn role, with a discovery phase, pilot delivery and the strategic development of programmes, resources and training that are proven to grow fundraised income.
Description
This role is to develop the fundraising support we offer our 42 cathedrals. Church of England cathedrals play a uniquely significant role in national, civic and spiritual life, serving first and foremost as centres of Christian worship and the seat of the bishop, but also as some of the country's most important cultural and community institutions. They act as focal points for diocesan life and as places where people gather for major moments of public celebration and grief, while also contributing extensively to education, music, heritage, tourism and local economies. Their scale, history and openness mean they attract millions of visitors, many of whom are not regular churchgoers, offering space for reflection, creativity and engagement with the Christian story.
However, this breadth of purpose brings significant challenges: cathedrals must balance worship with growing expectations as civic and cultural venues, operate in an increasingly secular and diverse society, and maintain complex historic buildings with limited and often uncertain funding. With many facing structural financial deficits and high costs for maintenance and staffing, alongside reliance on fundraising, grants and visitor income, their long-term sustainability depends on improving and expanding their fundraising activity and successfully developing new income streams while safeguarding their core mission and heritage.
This role is deliberately designed as a test-and-learn function. Its future scope and resourcing will be shaped by the evidence generated through its work. There is a clear expectation that, subject to demonstrated impact, this role will contribute to the development of a sustainable and appropriately resourced model of fundraising support for cathedrals across the Church of England.
This role is a three year fixed term contract.
Closing Date - 19th July 2026
Interviews will take place in Church House, London, on Wednesday, 29 July 2026.
Responsibilities
The Head of Cathedral Fundraising Development is a newly established role within the Giving Directorate and working alongside the B&C team, responsible for strengthening and developing fundraising capacity across the 42 mainland cathedrals of the Church of England. This role is funded for an initial 3-year period, and there is an expectation this work will grow and develop during this period should the audit and piloting of support in the first twelve months identify the need for ongoing support.
Reporting to the Director of Giving (who will line manage you, agree your work plans and development, and who you will be responsible to for the successful delivery of the agreed work plans) and also accountable to the Director of Bishoprics & Cathedrals (to ensure the work meets the needs of the Bishoprics & Cathedrals department, and aligns with their various work streams), this role will lead a programme of discovery, pilot delivery, and strategic development to determine the most effective models of fundraising support for cathedrals. The postholder will work closely with cathedral leaders, development teams, and national colleagues to build confidence, test approaches, and develop scalable solutions grounded in demonstrable impact. This testing of approaches will involve engaging with, and supporting, cathedrals in their fundraising approaches to high net worth individuals, grant making trusts and others, so that tangible evidence of impact can be seen.
Strategic Development
- Lead a structured audit of fundraising capacity, resources, and opportunities across the cathedral network
- Analyse findings to identify strategic priorities, gaps, and opportunities for development
- Develop a compelling vision and roadmap for national cathedral fundraising support
Pilot Design and Delivery
- Assimilate existing data from cathedrals, the NCIs and others to help shape fundraising pilots so they align business needs with the wider mission of cathedrals
- Design and implement a range of pilot initiatives to test different models of fundraising support (e.g. advisory, shared services, training, or targeted interventions) and to work with a small number of cathedrals to seize immediate opportunities
- Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of pilots, using both qualitative and quantitative measures
- Iterate and refine approaches based on evidence and learning
Stakeholder Engagement
- Build strong, trusted relationships with cathedral Deans, Development Directors, Chapters, and senior lay leaders
- Work collaboratively to understand local context and tailor support accordingly
- Act as a credible and influential ambassador for fundraising development across the cathedral network
- Ensure regular visits to cathedrals to develop relationships and build credibility
- Liaise with other Cathedral stakeholders (such as the AEC) to ensure strong alignment of outcomes
- Ensure effective co-ordination with national marketing initiatives of the AEC and others to ensure maximisation of impact
Cross-Directorate Collaboration
- Work closely with colleagues across the Giving Directorate to maximise opportunities for cathedrals to benefit from national initiatives, tools, and resources
- Ensure alignment between cathedral fundraising development and wider giving strategy
Partnership with Bishoprics & Cathedrals
- Work in close partnership with the Bishoprics & Cathedrals Department
- Provide regular progress updates to the Director of Bishoprics & Cathedrals
- Contribute to the development of future funding proposals and bids
Impact, Business Case, and Growth
- Develop a robust evidence base to demonstrate impact and value, including evidence of money raised for cathedrals because of this role, as well as evidencing greater awareness of funding opportunities within the cathedral network and documenting new opportunities for funding that this role has established
- Produce clear recommendations for future investment and resourcing
- Shape proposals for scaling successful approaches across the cathedral network
About You
Essential Experience
- Significant experience in senior fundraising roles (philanthropy, trusts, or institutional fundraising)
- Track record of developing or scaling fundraising capability within organisations
- Experience working with senior stakeholders and influencing without direct authority
- Experience operating in complex, multi-stakeholder environments
- Experience designing and evaluating programmes or pilots
Desirable Experience
- Experience working with cathedrals, heritage organisations, or within the Church of England

About Cancer Support UK
Cancer Support UK exists to tackle the profound sense of isolation many people experience after a cancer diagnosis. While diagnosis and treatment can have significant physical impacts, the emotional toll can be just as challenging, leaving many feeling alone at a time when connection and understanding are essential. The organisation is dedicated to ensuring that anyone affected by cancer feels supported, understood, and never alone, from diagnosis through treatment and into life beyond.
Through practical and emotional support, Cancer Support UK meets a largely unmet need. Its Cancer Kits, thoughtfully created with input from people with lived experience, provide comfort and reassurance at a critical moment, while its Cancer Coach services offer ongoing guidance to help individuals navigate life after treatment. Alongside this, the organisation works with businesses and the health sector to improve support for those affected by cancer. With millions of people in the UK living with a diagnosis, the charity's mission is clear: to reduce loneliness and ensure no one faces cancer alone.
You'll work within a small, dedicated and talented team and will play a central role in shaping how Cancer Support UK tells its story; leading the development of high-quality, impact led content that brings lived experience together to build support loyalty and increase public engagement and understanding.

- Develop and deliver a planned schedule of communications activity across all channels
- Develop and maintain a compelling library of supporter stories (written, film and imagery), ensuring appropriate permissions and coverage across key research areas
- Work with colleagues to source, craft and share stories that demonstrate impact and inspire support
- Collaborate with colleagues to translate unique insight from beneficiaries into engaging stories that demonstrate the positive impact of the services delivered by Cancer Support UK
- Work closely with the fundraising team to optimise digital communications
- Engage with and respond to the organisation's online community in a timely, supportive and professional manner
- Ensure consistent use of brand, tone and values in line with brand guidelines
- Track and analyse digital performance using tools such as Google Analytics and income reports, using insight to continuously improve effectiveness
- Report on how communications activity drives engagement, enquiries, donations and pledges
- Manage relationships with third-party agencies where required, including briefing, objectives and evaluation
- Coordinate corporate communications such as the annual review and impact report
We would love to see applications from candidates with the following skills and experience:
- Previous experience within a communications role within a charity or similar organisation
- Demonstrable experience of leading on storytelling, narrative development or content creation that has driven engagement or fundraising outcomes, with the ability to identify the emotional heart of a story and shape it appropriately for different audiences and channels
- Experience planning and delivering social media content using a structured schedule
- Experience developing e-communications to build loyalty and engagement
- Experience managing website content, ideally WordPress or similar
- Understanding of online community management and supporter engagement

Contract: Permanent, full-time, 37 hours per week, 0.8 considered.

Trinity and Brian House Hospice believe in focusing on the positives within palliative care, providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness to improve quality of life for them and their loved ones. They do this through recognising that each person has individual needs and caters to these needs through offering their services in the hospice, the hospital, at home, or residential care home.
About the Role
The Business Development Officer will work closely with the Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager to secure new relationships across the Fylde Coat, developing a pipeline of sustainable income. Corporate is a very well-established income stream within the fundraising team, but there's lots of opportunity to grow by building on the brilliant 40+ year reputation of donor care and fundraising products.
Trinity is preparing for its second large-scale public art trail, which will take place in 2028. This is such an exciting opportunity for the new Business Development Officer who'll play a key role in sponsorship recruitment, corporate stewardship, business engagement as well as project planning and delivery. This is expected to become one of the most significant corporate fundraising and sponsorship opportunities over the coming years and offers considerable scope for visibility and impact

You may already work in a corporate fundraising, business development or sales role, but the hospices also open to someone with experience in partnerships, marketing, recruitment or professional services.
What's important is that you'll have a track record of meeting financial targets and balancing a demanding workload with competing deadlines. We'd love to see applications from people who are creative and come with a growth mindset, who are looking to increase their understanding of fundraising and build on the skills they already have.
This role requires a full driving licence with access to a car as you will be spending time out and about across the region as well as being on site at the hospice.

Deadline: 9am Monday 27th July
