Why work for us?

This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in helping transform digital fundraising and engagement at CARE International UK as we begin implementing our five-year fundraising strategy. CIUK has significantly scaled and improved our digital programme in recent years. However, the way we are setup means the individuals and teams leading digital activity face challenges due to processes, capacity and silos that make transformative growth difficult. Taking a holistic view of our digital programme and with your expertise and experience, you’ll help us build on the activity that’s working well, while identifying areas of lower potential to scale back.

You’ll support across teams with testing and innovating new products and propositions.

This role will require a digital strategist with experience across the mix – from mobilisation and campaigning to fundraising and supporter experience.

You’ll have ample experience and/or knowledge of a wide variety of digital platforms and tools including CMS systems, Google Analytics, PowerBi, Impact Stack/Engaging Networks, MailChimp, social media and Adwords.

This is a part-time role but we are open to flexible working arrangements and a discussion around hours.
