Are you ready to take ownership of a high-potential fundraising product and scale it into something truly game-changing? Do you love blending creativity, data, innovation and supporter experience to drive big results? This is your chance to lead, shape and grow a charity lottery from the ground up – and directly power life-changing care across Guy’s & St Thomas’, Evelina London and Guy’s Cancer hospitals.

We’re investing in this role at a pivotal moment of growth. Our fundraising team is growing, and a major capital campaign for our children’s hospital is on the horizon. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Individual Giving specialist to build something flagship, strategic and high-impact.

About Us

Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity and Evelina London Children’s Charity are part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation. Together, we help build the foundations of a healthier society by supporting one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK.

You’ll join a supportive, inclusive, ambitious team that values flexibility, collaboration and wellbeing. We’re proud to be a Living Wage employer and champion diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do.

The Opportunity

As Individual Giving Manager – Prize-Led Fundraising, you’ll lead the development, growth and day-to-day delivery of our newly launched charity lottery. This is a true product-owner role: you’ll shape the strategy, drive innovation, build audiences at scale and turn a young product into a core, sustainable income stream for the charity.

From big multi-channel acquisition campaigns to supporter journeys that genuinely inspire loyalty, you’ll have the freedom and backing to test, learn and grow.

You’ll also:

· Lead the strategic direction and marketing plans for the lottery and future prize-led products

· Drive large-scale acquisition campaigns across door-to-door, digital, email and mail

· Use data, insight and supporter feedback to optimise performance and retention

· Ensure full compliance with Gambling Commission regulations

· Build brilliant relationships with agencies, suppliers and internal teams

· Own the budget, forecasts, KPIs and performance reporting

Above all, you’ll play a central role in ensuring every supporter feels valued, inspired and connected to the real-world impact of their support.

Why This Role Is Special

· Own a product – this lottery is newly launched, with huge potential for growth

· You’ll scale at pace – with senior buy-in, investment and ambitious income targets

· You’ll see tangible impact – your work will directly support frontline NHS care across three hospitals

· You’ll be part of a growing, high-performing fundraising department at a transformational moment

· Test, learn and innovate with senior support and appetite for new ideas

About You

You’ll bring:

· Strong experience in multi-channel Individual Giving acquisition

· A track record of delivering income growth and managing budgets

· Confidence working with agencies and external partners

· A creative, analytical and supporter-first mindset

· The ability to balance big-picture strategy with hands-on delivery

· A passion for innovation, testing and continuous improvement

Experience with lotteries or prize-led fundraising is brilliant – but not essential if you’re excited to learn fast.

The Coach’s role will be to engage with our adult beneficiaries, supporting them to identify and achieve their aspirations for themselves and for their families.

Adopting a holistic, person-centred approach, she will support beneficiaries both to reach short term goals (through the delivery of Information, Advice and Guidance) and to develop the resources, skills and behaviours necessary to make longer term progress (through Coaching) across the five ‘pillars’ of our social mobility framework:

• ­ Employability 
• ­ Education 
• ­ Family stability 
• ­ Money management 
• ­ Resilience and well-being 

We currently have 3 Social Mobility Coaches on the team.  Whilst supporting women across all five pillars, each Coach has specific areas of responsibility, which may change from time to time.  We anticipate that for the first twelve months of employment at least, this new Coach will have specific responsibility for building out our Employment offer.
