• Lead the day-to-day delivery and development of LWT’s membership acquisition programme.
• Develop our face-to-face recruitment programme, working with external agencies to monitor performance, identify opportunities, improve quality and maximise return on investment.
• Develop digital acquisition activity, working with the Digital Marketing Lead to plan campaigns, test audiences and creative, monitor performance and identify opportunities to scale.
• Explore and test new acquisition channels and approaches.
• Support the planning and delivery of cash fundraising opportunities throughout the year, and legacy marketing activity.
• Work with colleagues across the team to ensure new supporters have a strong experience from the point of acquisition to welcome, retention and development journeys.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience delivering successful fundraising, marketing or acquisition campaigns, ideally within a charity, membership or similar organisation.
• Confidence using data, audience insight and campaign performance to evaluate activity, make recommendations and improve results.
• Experience working with external agencies or suppliers and building effective relationships with stakeholders.
• Strong project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns and priorities and deliver to deadlines.
• A genuine interest in connecting people with nature and growing support for London Wildlife Trust’s work.

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease.

But kidney disease is increasing, as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity. Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

Who we are
We are OUTpatients, the UK’s LGBTIQ+ cancer charity. Proudly led by and for our community, we are here to shake up the system, advocate for equity, and stand up for every LGBTIQ+ person affected by cancer. Our passion to support others is born out of personal experience; we understand what it’s like to not see yourself reflected in the services you use, and feel like you are left in the margins at a time when you most need personalised support. That is why we host peer support, educate healthcare professionals and help to shape national policy so that nobody has to go through cancer alone.

The position

The Chief Operating Officer is one of three new senior leadership roles we're creating alongside our CEO, the first time OUTpatients has built a leadership team of this kind. It's a genuine opportunity to shape how a fast-growing charity operates, not simply maintain what already exists.

You'll be the CEO's key partner in turning our five-year strategy into a well-run, sustainable organisation: leading a team of six, taking ownership of our finances, risk and governance, and building the systems and structures that let our small, passionate team deliver more, safely and well.

Working closely with our incoming Head of Fundraising & Business Development and Chief Medical Officer, and deputising for the CEO when needed, your work will directly shape how many more LGBTIQ+ people affected by cancer we're able to reach.
