Home based (Global)

Supporter Engagement at Animals Asia is expanding providing a rare chance to join our incredible team.  The Case for Support and Impact Manager is a new but vital role. It’s the role that turns some of the most ground-breaking animal welfare work in the world into products that donors want to fund. You will ensure our global fundraising team has information readily available that will help secure gifts and retain donors. It’s an exciting role that will require regular engagement with our programme team so you will often be the first person to hear of all the incredible work taking place on the ground – and it’ll be your job to write this up in a compelling, accurate way.  You’ll prepare annual cases for support and also quarterly progress reports across our wide programme areas covering the end of bear bile farming, ending elephant riding in Vietnam and ending the eating of cat and dog meat in Asia.

You’ll also manage the financial side of things – ensuring our products are priced accurately and all fundraisers are aware of all outgoing bids. This role would be ideal for somebody with a background in trust fundraising but that’s not essential. What is vital is that you can tell a story in a way that wins hearts and minds. You’ll need a heart for writing, but a head for numbers. You’ll be able to find your way confidently and efficiently around spreadsheets, often demystifying quite complex sets of accounts. As this role is home based, you will need to be one of life’s natural go-getters, full of drive, initiative and hunger.  If you love animals and fundraising, this is an absolute dream of a role in a charity that is loved by donors and employees around the world.  Join our family… be part of the end game.
