Seeking a Fundraising Manager to help us build something special for people isolated, lost and afraid of navigating life without smell. This is a brand new position - an exciting opportunity to do it your way.

Smell disorders can lead to depression, eating disorders and anxiety. AbScent offers the best support and information so that no-one faces anosmia alone. We do this with online services providing support and interaction, trusted and accessible information, and practical resources to manage life with little or no sense of smell. We now have a combined online community of more than 30,000 people from all over the world, but we know there are thousands more that need support.

You:

Developing your fundraising strategy will include CRM implementation and setting up new fundraising streams from scratch. If you relish the thought of a blank sheet of paper, this is a once-in-a-career opportunity.

The role is home-based - AbScent doesn’t have an office yet - but you will be expected to attend regular meetings in Hampshire. This is a full-time role, but if part-time works for you, let's talk about it.

We have an expectation that you will:

• Create and deliver a fundraising strategy in line with AbScent’s objectives

• Manage trading; supporting marketing and development plans 

• Identify, cultivate and steward relationships with individual and corporate donors

• Specify, implement and manage fundraising tools, including a supporter database
