Chief fundraising officer jobs

Do you understand audiences and their motivations for giving, and you want to be a part of an Individual Giving programme you can be proud of? Do you love a challenge, enjoy working with a variety of personalities and opinions, and want the chance to make a massive difference at an amazing charity? If you believe those who have served our country, and their loved ones, deserve the support they so rightly deserve when they are wounded, this could be your next role.

Our unique approach relies on dynamic fundraising and that’s where you come in.

In this role you’ll be involved in creating fabulous online and offline campaigns that inspire people to engage with and donate to this incredible charity. You’ll manage donor development campaigns driven by audience insight and best practice. You know what makes a good direct response campaign, and how to get the best out of colleagues and suppliers. We’re not saying it’s going to be easy, but you’ll succeed by being determined, focused and working well with others.

The job can be remotely based and you’ll occasionally travel to Wiltshire, London and elsewhere to meet supporters, wounded veterans and colleagues.
