About you

We are looking for candidates who can balance the two sides to this role. The legal administration of legacy income requires excellent attention to detail, but the legacy marketing responsibilities also require strategic and creative skills to manage activity that can build on St Mungo’s portfolio of legacy supporters.

We are looking for candidates who are proactive, empathetic, a flexible approach and are comfortable managing their own projects. Ideally, the successful candidate will have direct marketing experience, working across various channels including digital fundraising.
