About Us 

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

About the role 

As Central Fundraising & Engagement Executive, you will be the first point of contact for Save the Children fundraisers, volunteers and corporate supporters, delivering excellent supporter experiences to inspire action and deepen relationships.

You will create engaging communications, manage operational processes, and collaborate across teams to support key campaigns and projects such as Save the Children's Christmas Jumper Day. 

This is a hybrid role, working from our London Farringdon head office circa 2 days per week. 

In this role, you will: 

• Manage relationships with community volunteers, individual fundraisers, and corporate contacts to provide a high standard of supporter care. 

• Develop and deliver comprehensive stewardship plans to inspire and maximise fundraising and engagement. 

• Create engaging and effective communications across multiple channels for internal and external audiences. 

• Support the development of fundraising resources to equip supporters with ideas and tools for successful activities. 

• Provide operational and communications support for key departmental campaigns, emergency appeals and initiatives. 

• Contribute to income forecasting and pipeline management for the Regional Fundraising & Engagement team. 

About you 

To be successful, it is important that you have: 

• Proven experience in delivering exceptional fundraiser or customer care. 

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage and inspire supporters. 

• Experience using CRM databases (preferably Salesforce) and confident with Microsoft Office programmes including Word, Excel and Outlook. 

• A good understanding of fundraising rules and regulations. 

• Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to prioritise effectively. 

• A proven ability to build strong relationships with colleagues, supporters and suppliers. 

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values. 

What we offer you

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work. 

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
