- Building strong relationships across internal teams to source the information fundraisers need.
- Working alongside creative colleagues to develop visual content that helps bring the organisation’s work and impact to life.
About you
You will be an excellent writer and researcher who can take complex information and turn it into clear, concise and compelling content.
You will have strong research and analytical skills, excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines. Comfortable working collaboratively across an organisation, you will be confident building relationships with colleagues at all levels and able to work independently using your own initiative.
