JOB PURPOSE:

This Role Turns Data Into Action for Community Impact

At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., every donor interaction, contribution, and campaign generates valuable insight. The Data and Donor Relations Officer ensures that donor information is accurate, secure, and effectively used to build strong relationships, improve engagement, and guide fundraising strategy. You will be the guardian of donor data and the connector between insight and action, ensuring that each supporter feels valued and informed while maintaining ethical and safeguarding standards.

We work across all communities - Black, white, Asian, Caribbean, African and beyond, ensuring no survivor feels alone or silenced. Our CIC operates through a community-driven, volunteer-led structure, built by people who believe in truth, justice, and love as law.

This Role Is Not Symbolic. It Is Structural.
