BACKGROUND

Over the past 80 years, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) has developed unparalleled expertise in responding to emergencies and helping uprooted communities to rebuild. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster.

The International Rescue Committee UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its headquarters in New York and London. The IRC is on the ground in more than 40 countries, providing emergency relief, relocating refugees and rebuilding lives in the wake of disaster. Through 22 regional offices in cities across the United States, the IRC also helps refugees resettle in the US and become self-sufficient.

The IRC is committed to a culture of bold leadership, innovation in all aspects of our work, creative partnerships and, most crucially, accountability to those we serve. The IRC is a tireless advocate for the most vulnerable.

IRC-UK

Our European headquarters, IRC-UK, was established in London in 1997 to support the organisation’s global activities and particularly to diversify its donor base and to better advocate with European policy-makers on behalf of the people we serve. Since its establishment IRC-UK has grown rapidly and is now acknowledged for its high-quality project management, technical expertise in governance and rights and economic recovery, and innovative thinking on early recovery and gender-based violence. IRC-UK comprises approximately 160 staff. The IRC also has offices in Berlin, Bonn, Brussels, Geneva and Stockholm.

CONTEXT, MASS MARKETING

IRC's Mass Markets department (part of the External Relations Unit) is responsible for the global delivery of Circa USD $65m, of predominantly unrestricted funding, contributing to a total of circa $USD240m that the International Rescue Committee currently raises in total from the private sector. The Mass Markets department plays an important strategic role in the creation of IRC’s brand, awareness and support for its advocacy goals.

The IRC's strategy centers on its ambition to continue to improve the scale and effectiveness of IRC programs worldwide with evidence of what works best to impact people’s lives in conflict and fragile settings. The fundraising pillars of the External Relations Unit comprises colleagues and teams delivering marketing, account management, leadership gifts, board liaison, corporate partnerships, brand stewardship and communications to support this work.  These colleagues are primarily located in the USA at present – but IRC plans to significantly expand its global fundraising footprint.  Other colleagues within IRC are also deeply engaged with private funding & partners – in particular within Europe, US Resettlement and field program – and we need to work in close integrated collaboration to ensure best use of resources and highest impact for IRC.

THE PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

These enhanced supporter journeys will, in engaging supporters and positioning the right ask to them at the right time, lead to more members of the public becoming long term IRC supporters, including giving on a regular basis (sustainers) and at higher levels (e.g. mid value supporters) . Ultimately the aim is for supporters to ‘stick’ to IRC for longer, give more frequently and give at higher values while also engaging more in IRC’s mission and cause. In so doing, the aim is for the IRC to improve the life-time value of its supporters (LTV).

They will also help support our approach on testing in supporter journeys ensuring tests are coordinated and analysis is being used so that we have a data driven program.

While covering all supporter segments and audiences/profiles within mass marketing, the post holder will have a special focus throughout on key segments, those being sustainers and mid value donors.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support the delivery of retention plans in markets.
• Assist in the set-up, optimization and assessment IRC’s supporter journeys market per market.
