As a charity, we are hugely proud of the impact we have had on behalf of people affected by blood cancer. The £500million we have invested in research over the last 60 years has saved many thousands of lives, and we are now in a position where the day we will beat blood cancer is finally in sight. But with the coronavirus crisis already having had a big impact on our income, it is more vital than ever that we have the strong strategic leadership to keep our mission to beat blood cancer on course.

The single biggest factor holding back our mission is that we don’t raise enough money. We already have a team of fantastic fundraisers who are expert in their area and dedicated to the cause. What they need is a leader who can provide them with the vision and sense of ambition to enable them to make our income levels increase more quickly than most people reading would think is possible.

We know achieving this will be really hard, and you’ll need to be someone genuinely exceptional to achieve it. But if you’re that person, you’ll be coming to a charity where the whole organisation is focused on fundraising, from Board to the support-line team, from Chief Executive to research grants committee and where we’ll be alongside you, doing everything we possibly can to help you succeed. The rewards for getting there will be immense. This is a real chance to change the lives of people with blood cancer forever, and to lead a fundraising team to transformational growth and so establish yourself as one of the leading fundraisers in the UK.

We're passionate about doing more to increase the diversity of the Blood Cancer UK team, we can’t be there for the community we serve unless we are a better reflection of it, so we’d particularly welcome applications from people of colour for this critical role. If this is the sort of challenge that makes you feel excited rather than daunted, come and join us and together we can change the world for people affected by blood cancer. 

You will strategically lead and inspire the Fundraising Department to deliver and grow a multi-million pound portfolio of events campaigns and external communications, to generate the money we need to fund the vital research that brings us closer to beating blood cancer and improving lives of people affected by blood cancer. 

More specifically the purpose of the job is: 

1. Strategic fundraising leadership to increase income.

2. Working as part of the Executive team, develop and guide the strategic direction of Blood Cancer UK, ensuring we achieve our organisational goals and performance targets. 

Our leaders need to be inspirational, bringing enthusiasm, energy and conviction – to lead by doing, not just saying. With a ‘can do’ attitude and collaborative management approach, our leaders engage their teams and make their work fun as well as rewarding. 

As our Fundraising Research and Operations Manager you'll support both our Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships teams. These teams provide expert support to fundraisers in the areas of finance, data analysis, prospect research and pipeline management, database usage, high value audience events, and stewardship and cultivation approaches. Ultimately this role will help to enable fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’, P&P’s and BHF’s priorities.

As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role that covers both research and operations responsibilities in support of the Corporate Partnerships team. You'll lead on the production and delivery of high quality, tailored prospect research and operational improvements which will feed into team strategies. Through improved systems and processes, fundraising hours available for direct fundraising activity will be increased.

You'll lead on data mining and prospecting to manage and increase the Corporate Partnerships prospect pool and will advise, support, and consult with Corporate Partnerships fundraisers to ensure knowledge of pipeline and activity. 

You’ll work closely with the Donor Relations events team on invite lists and guest research for events to support the high value Corporate audience and also the Proposition Development team to advise on Corporate Partnerships’ upcoming proposition needs. As well as working with the finance and data teams to forecast team income, using the CRM database to plan and track approaches to donors for financial support.

Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation. The fundraiser does not face the prospect, donor, or corporate alone; they are supported and prepared for the challenge by those who have identified the opportunity right through to others who have shaped their case for support or proposal.

As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.

About you

You'll have previous experience of managing prospect pools; segmenting and tracking donors and a strong track record of implementing effective prospect research strategies. With in-depth major donor or corporate fundraising research experience in a charity or University environment, you'll have a thorough understanding of prospect research principles and ethics, gift capacity indicators and fundraising strategies.

We are looking for a solutions focussed individual with excellent attention to detail and excellent interpersonal skills. You'll have strong time management skills, able to work under pressure and to deadlines. With strong research and analysis skills, you'll be able to work methodically and with precision.

You'll have previous experience of preparing professional prospect briefings to the highest standard for senior stakeholders and supporting a large team of fundraisers. 

You'll be IT literate and adept with Microsoft packages, including intermediate level Excel skills and will have an understanding of budgets and broad financial processes.

About us
