Flying Cars Innovation is looking for a hands-on digital fundraising expert to help create, test and pilot bold new fundraising propositions for charities.

This is not a traditional digital fundraising role. You won’t be spending your time endlessly optimising existing campaigns.

• Co-create new fundraising propositions with audiences

• Prototype new innovations, via qualitative testing, quantitative testing and in-market testing

• Use digital signals and performance data to judge whether ideas will scale
