About The Role
About Alzheimer's Society - who are we and what’s our mission?
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground-breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

About the opportunity
There’s never been a more exciting time to join the Individual Giving team.  We’re on a bold journey to double our income over the next five years, and we’re looking for passionate, driven individuals to help us get there.
Our team sits within a dynamic, ambitious Directorate filled with talented people who are deeply committed to making a difference.  Together, we’re building something special, and we want you to be part of it.

In this pivotal leadership role, you’ll take the reins of our Regular giving and Lottery programme, working alongside two other senior managers responsible for our cash appeals and supporter stewardship.  You’ll have the opportunity to design and deliver innovative multi-channel campaigns that not only grow our supporter base but also deepen engagement and increase lifetime value.

The role is primarily home-based, but the team meets in person on average once a month to build relationships and discuss our strategy.  There may also be some occasional in person meetings with agencies.  We’re committed to flexible working and welcome conversations about how we can support your needs.

- Highly motivated to exceed targets and think strategically to achieve long-term growth. 
- Passionate about working with people, building strong relationships, and prioritising people development.  
- Data-driven, using insight to guide decisions and unlock potential.
- Skilled at managing large, multi-channel fundraising campaigns with proven success.
- A natural collaborator with strong stakeholder management and budget oversight abilities.

What you’ll focus on:

- Developing and implementing long-term strategies to recruit Regular Giving and Lottery supporters, with a focus on diversification of our channel mix.
- Leading stand-out multi-channel fundraising campaigns, including face-to-face, telemarketing, payroll giving, and lottery products.
- Managing and inspiring a team of seven, creating a culture of high performance, collaboration and celebration.
- Working across internal teams and with external partners to maximise income growth and deliver exceptional supporter experiences.
