Our Fundraising & Communications department is seeking to grow, and with a new strategic cycle beginning in 2021, we are looking for an experienced challenge event fundraiser and effective relationship manager to help us grow our income.
For 40 years, across nearly 50 countries, Action Against Hunger has led the global fight against hunger. We save the lives of children and their families. We are there for them before and after disaster strikes. We enable people to provide for themselves, see their children grow up strong, and build prosperous communities
The successful candidate will manage and grow our established annual Ambassador Challenge. This project sees hospitality industry ambassadors raise funds by taking on a sporting challenge, such as a long-distance trek or cycle, in a country that Action Against Hunger works in, before visiting our programmes there. In addition, this role will support the growth of Action Against Hunger’s work with influencers and high-profile supporters, cultivating new relationships, developing new fundraising products and inspiring action.
This role will suit an experienced challenge event fundraiser, passionate about nurturing supporters through the highest standards of relationship building. You’ll need to be a creative, innovative and adaptable communicator, confident in your ability to build relationships and influence effectively. A personable, practical and highly organised multi-tasker who enjoys supporting individuals to achieve their fundraising goals.
This role will require international travel once a year to manage and participate in our Ambassador Challenge. In addition, the role will involve occasional UK travel to nurture key relationships or attend events, and the post-holder must therefore be able to work at occasional evening/weekend events.
