Join us as an Individual Giving Officer and help raise vital funds to support Big Issue vendors across the UK.

At Big Issue Group, we're on a mission to end poverty through innovative social enterprise. You'll know us best for our iconic magazine sold by vendors on streets nationwide – but we do so much more than that.

Your day-to-day will involve developing and running campaigns that recruit new supporters and keep our existing donors engaged across multiple channels. You'll get to work closely with our vendors and support teams to uncover the powerful stories that show the real impact of people's contributions – then craft these into compelling content that inspires others to get involved.

We're looking for someone who can think creatively about income generation, manage the production of supporter materials, and dive into the data to see what's working. You'll be collaborating with colleagues across the organization and working with various stakeholders to make sure our message resonates with supporters.

This role comes with ambitious growth targets, and you'll play a crucial part in helping us reach them. If you're passionate about using storytelling to drive social change and want to directly support the vendors and communities we serve, we'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for this role to ideally start early November.
