Fundraising Manager - Glasgow (Corporate Focus)
Fixed Term (Until January 2021 - Covering Secondment)
Home Based
£26,500 - £31,500 + car allowance + benefits
Are you positive and results-driven with an impressive track record in fundraising, sales or marketing?
Why do we ask? Because almost one in two people will develop cancer in their lifetime and it’s our aim to raise enough funds to be there for each and every one of them. Regional fundraising already generates over £40m a year across the UK, but we need someone like you to help us raise much more and encourage more people to take part in what we do.
The candidates we are looking for will be experienced in working with and supporting companies and driving new business, confident working independently, equipped with a strategic mindset, focus, drive and enthusiasm, as well as excellent communication and relationship building skills. You will be adept at planning and prioritising to meet the multiple calls on your time. Using all these skills and traits, you'll create and implement an innovative plan - one that maximises our impact in your area and delivers strategic financial and non-financial objectives.
You'll be part of a small West of Scotland area fundraising team, wider regional team, and UK-wide fundraising department, which builds long term sustainable relationships and inspires millions to get involved in improving the lives of people living with cancer.
As a Corporate Fundraiser in Glasgow, you will have a strong focus on generating new business from existing and new prospects, creating and delivering engagement plans, and managing corporate relationships. Some previous experience of working with the media to recognise and demonstrate how our corporate partners make a real difference would be welcome.
In return for your hard work and impressive results, we commit to actively developing you and our benefits include private medical insurance, life assurance, pension, childcare vouchers, generous leave, and interest free loans for season tickets and gym membership.
