About You 

As our ideal candidate, you’ll bring experience managing income-generating products from start to finish, ideally within product marketing, fundraising campaigns, or events. You have a strong understanding of marketing and fundraising principles, including insight, customer journeys, and multi-channel communications. You are confident managing projects with multiple stakeholders and have experience presenting to both internal and external audiences.

You are proactive, creative, and commercially aware, with strong analytical skills and experience in budget management. You are familiar with content management systems, email marketing platforms, and customer databases, and stay informed about emerging technologies and trends in the marketing and fundraising space. 

Working arrangements

This is a hybrid role, where your work will be split between your home and at least one day per week, on average, in our London Office. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.
