About us
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.
We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don't have to be Christian to work here - we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we're open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues and the option of being a homeworker for most of our roles too.
About the role
At Christian Aid, we believe lasting change happens when people work together for justice. Our supporters are at the heart of that change and we're now looking for a Supporter Experience Manager to shape how thousands of people connect with our mission.
This is a unique opportunity to design and deliver Christian Aid's first unified supporter journey framework, creating seamless, inspiring experiences that drive engagement, giving, and long-term loyalty.
Reporting to the Head of Public Fundraising, but working across the wider department and beyond, this role will:
- Lead our first Supporter Experience Strategy, uniting teams across the organisation.
- Map, refine, and innovate supporter journeys, identifying opportunities for deeper connection.
- Harness data and supporter insights to drive evidence-based decisions.
- Foster innovation, testing new technologies and approaches to enhance engagement.
- Train and equip teams to deliver consistently excellent supporter experiences.

- Significant experience in a supporter experience role or delivering journey strategy.
- A track record creating and delivering multichannel communications.
- Strong data and analytical skills to refine approaches and measure success.
- Excellent collaboration, influencing, and project management abilities.
- Experience with CRM systems, matrix management, KPI measurement or leading change initiatives is desirable, but most importantly, you'll have a supporter-first mindset and the drive to inspire meaningful connections.
- You'll also be committed to Christian Aid's vision to see a world where everyone can live a full life free from poverty and injustice.
Further information
At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.
We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams.
We have a strong Christian ethos, and we encourage applications from all faiths. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of and sympathy with Christian Aid's faith identity.
All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us.

upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Our work is important because right now a student from disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity employer working to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities.
