This role as Digital Fundraising and Marketing Manager sits within Shelter’s Digital Fundraising and Marketing team.

About the role

Line managed by the Senior Digital Fundraising Manager, you will work closely with Community & Events team members, as well as colleagues across the organisation - including Digital, Marketing, CRM and Income Generation Digital Leads – to ensure the Community & Events digital strategy is implemented effectively.

This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic team, for someone who is looking to take their digital skills to the next level, implementing strategic plans and working with the Senior Digital Fundraising and Marketing Manager to improve performance. 

About you

You bring strong digital expertise from a fundraising or marketing environment, with hands‑on experience using tools like Meta Business Suite, Google Ads, Canva, and Google Analytics. You understand best practice in marketing communications, can implement and optimise digital strategies, and are confident in setting meaningful KPIs and reporting on performance. Audience‑led and supporter‑centric, you are dedicated to delivering excellent digital experiences that drive acquisition and income growth.

Results‑driven and curious about the Community & Events fundraising market, you excel at translating data into clear, actionable recommendations for non‑technical audiences. You actively champion diversity and inclusion, leading by example and encouraging inclusive thinking in others. Flexible and adaptable, you enjoy horizon scanning for new opportunities, implementing new tools or channels, and evolving approaches throughout product development and delivery.

About the role
We are recruiting for a Research Participation Manager to join on a full-time, permanent contract working 35 hours per week. This is a home-based role, with occasional travel required for in-person stakeholder or team meetings.

What you’ll focus on:

- Leading, line managing and developing the Research Participation team, in addition to managing allocated staff, resources and any assigned budget to ensure all agreed internal and external targets are met.
