Individual giving marketing manager jobs
Join Boaz Trust as our first Head of Fundraising and lead the growth of a passionate, values-driven charity supporting people at risk of homelessness due to their immigration status. Help shape strategy, build relationships, and grow income to expand our impact across Greater Manchester.
At Boaz Trust, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. For over 20 years, we’ve provided accommodation and specialist support to people who are facing homelessness and destitution because of their insecure or unresolved immigration status. Last year we worked with more than 600 people and, thanks to our dedicated support team, since April 2024 alone, 188 individuals now have somewhere safe to stay, instead of having no choice but to sleep outside.
We’re now looking for a strategic, relationship-driven fundraiser to join our senior team and shape a new phase of growth. As our first Head of Fundraising, you’ll play a vital role in transforming strong but reactive income streams into a thriving, sustainable programme that enables us to support more people, more effectively.
We have an engaged and generous supporter base, particularly among individuals, churches and other groups across Greater Manchester. Trusts and Foundations fundraising is also well established, with an experienced team member already in post. This new role will focus on strengthening and growing Individual Giving and Church/Community partnerships, both areas with significant potential. You’ll bring vision and strategy to supporter journeys, deepen engagement and stewardship, and explore opportunities in areas like Corporate Giving and Legacy fundraising.
This is a senior leadership role, reporting directly to the CEO and contributing to our wider organisational development. You’ll line manage our Senior Fundraising Officer, with the potential to expand the team as income grows. You’ll also work closely with our Advocacy and Communications Team to ensure supporter communications reflect our values and amplify our impact.
We’re looking for someone with experience in Individual Giving and relationship fundraising, who understands the power of storytelling, data, and connection. You’ll be a collaborative and empathetic leader, able to build trust with colleagues and inspire supporters. You might already be a Head of Fundraising or looking to step into your first senior role - either way, we’ll provide tailored support and professional development to help you succeed.
Above all, you’ll be someone who shares our belief in justice, compassion, and the dignity of every person. If you’re ready to make a lasting difference with and for people seeking sanctuary, we’d love to hear from you.
Our vision is that people who seek safety in the UK are welcomed here and are free to live life in all its fullness.

The College was founded in 1584 by Sir Walter Mildmay and has been a centre of outstanding learning ever since. It currently has around 700 students (undergraduate and postgraduate), 90 Fellows (who teach and research at the College) and 180 staff. We welcome people into the Emma community from across the globe, of many different backgrounds, with many different experiences.
The Development Office supports the college in its charitable purpose by building and maintaining a supportive, lifelong, two-way relationship with Members (alumni), and engaging the community of members and friends to contribute their time, expertise and philanthropy. Between 2015 and 2022, the Development Office raised £38m in new philanthropic income through the Emma enables campaign.

We are looking now to build on this momentum as we plan the next campaign.
PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITES
The post-holder’s principal objective is to manage the successful development and delivery of the College’s regular giving programme, using multi-channel approaches to increase the value and number of members (alumni) and friends who give, to build on this sustainable annual source of philanthropic income.

Analysis and Innovation

- Research and identify new opportunities, thinking creatively to develop unique appeals.
- Develop and maintain good working relationships with colleagues across the Collegiate University, attending working groups, training opportunities and the annual development conference where appropriate.
General Administration
- Ensure that data is recorded accurately and concisely on the Raiser’s Edge database.
- Maintain a high level of confidentiality in the maintenance of personal and financial records and ensure compliance at all times with Data Protection legislation.
- Have expert knowledge and understanding of current legislation impacting upon regular giving and stewardship, marketing and operations, such as gift aid, General Data Protection Regulations and fundraising regulation, and ensure operational compliance.

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique and dynamic membership organisation which comprises 15 of the UK’s leading humanitarian agencies.
The DEC launches appeals when there is a humanitarian emergency of such magnitude to warrant a national UK response, with most DEC funds being raised over an intensive two-week period following a disaster. DEC fundraising appeals benefit from the combined expertise of our member agencies, resulting in wide-reaching appeals across high-profile TV, radio, and an increasing number of digital channels.
Reporting to the Head of Public Fundraising, the Direct Marketing Manager (Acquisition) is responsible for delivering key direct marketing activities during appeals for major disasters or emergencies. You will work with key suppliers and agencies to implement the offline marketing campaign (e.g. press, outdoor, DRTV and direct mail), and the Public Fundraising team to utilise a large database of supporters for communication by email, SMS, and direct mail.

- Strong direct marketing experience with a focus on high volume donor acquisition, with technical marketing expertise across a range of direct marketing channels and demonstrable knowledge of offline marketing techniques in press, outdoor, direct mail and telephone

- A key driver for success in this role is the ability to work under extreme pressure during appeals and to very tight deadlines
- Experience of managing complex budgets and proven ability to manage a complex operational plan within very short timeframes and within budget
- Ideally, you will have experience of working in the international humanitarian aid sector
PLEASE NOTE: This is a hybrid working role, where there is a compulsory 2-week office attendance during an appeal (meals provided). Therefore, this role is suitable for those living within a commutable distance to DEC's Angel, London office.
