The Eden Project is looking to recruit a Membership and Individual Giving Manager to cover a fixed term maternity contract until April 2022.
This is a key role managing a small team wholly dedicated to raising unrestricted revenue for the Eden Trust, and building long-lasting relationships with Eden’s valued supporters. As an interim role, we are therefore seeking an experienced Membership and/or Fundraising Manager who can hit the ground running. You will need to work collaboratively across the Eden Team – largely remotely at first, with a view to moving towards some in-person working at our office in Cornwall once current Covid-19 restrictions are eased. We will consider long-term remote working, as well as flexible working patterns, for the right candidate. The main remit is to ensure the continued success of Membership and Individual Giving fundraising activities at a time of considerable change across the sector.
The ideal candidate will have a passion for Eden’s charitable mission, which they will translate into persuasive supporter recruitment and retention strategies across low-, mid- and high-value giving streams. They will be equally comfortable in the creative realm of copywriting, marketing and design process management, as they are in interrogating complex data sets to manage financial reporting and forecasting. A pro-active and collaborative nature will be essential to succeeding in this role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
