Are you passionate about engaging supporters, being audience-led, and building outstanding supporter journeys, with a proven track record of working on projects and campaigns to engage, retain and develop supporters or customers across a range of direct marketing and digital channels? Then join Shelter as Direct Marketing Executive – Supporter Engagement and you could soon be putting your skills and experience to excellent use at the heart of our Individual Giving team.

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything,

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.

About the team

Part of a thriving Income Generation department, our Individual Giving team consists of three programmes - Supporter Acquisition (including Supporter Engagement), Direct Dialogue and Supporter Retention and Development. Together, we deliver a diverse programme of work with ambitious income targets that support our organisational strategy, across cash, regular giving and lottery products. We’ve grown quite a bit over the past few years and benefitted from both investment and opportunity for innovation. That’s resulted in us generating over £20m of unrestricted income every year. This is your chance to be part of our success.

About the role

This pivotal role will see you help deliver the Individual Giving (IG) and Retention strategies, working with colleagues across teams in IG to increase lifetime value of cash, regular giving and lottery supporters and collaborating with peers and Heads of team. You’ll work with the Senior Direct Marketing Manager – Supporter Engagement to lead on the delivery and development of the early retention programme which integrates acquisition and retention, and other exciting campaigns and projects, aimed at acquiring, retaining and engaging our supporters and stewarding them across their supporter journey with Shelter. Essentially, your focus will be on meeting supporter motivations and needs - giving supporters control of how they give, when we contact them and the content that will mean most to them. Helping build multi-channel, integrated and inspiring supporter journeys which build strong supporter relationships and long-term loyalty to Shelter will be your goal. And, along the way, you’ll get to work on new products and propositions to retain supporters in innovative ways and build strong relationships with colleagues, agencies and suppliers alike.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

Passionate about outstanding supporter experiences and maximising income opportunities, you have a good understanding of direct marketing and digital channels such as direct mail, SMS, telemarketing and email. You’re also used to optimising and reviewing campaigns and aren’t afraid to share both failures and successes. Managing and influencing stakeholders to deliver results comes naturally to you too. What’s more, you excel in analysis and intelligent use of data, are great at utilising insight, including the motivations, interests and behaviours of supporters to guide decisions and have a keen interest in, or willingness to learn about, product management and development. You’re happy to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas, methods and processes too, like to horizon scan and keep ahead of emerging trends and are comfortable working in matrix teams.

Our client is one of the UK's largest independent funders, awarding £100 million annually to charities across the UK. Our grant-making supports initiatives in health, welfare, education, the arts, and heritage.

The Trust was founded to realise the philanthropic vision of Sir Hans Rausing and to honour the memory of his late wife, Julia Rausing. Julia's legacy is rooted in a belief in a healthy, compassionate society-one that cares for the vulnerable, broadens opportunity, and enriches life through creativity and cultural engagement. The Trust takes a broad, strategic, and relational approach to philanthropy, remaining agile and responsive while grounded in personal values. 

Prospectus is delighted to be working with The Trust to recruit an Operations Executive to join the team based full-time from the office in Chelsea, London.

The Role:

As the Trust grows in activity and complexity-including its recent transition to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation-we are creating a new role: Operations Executive. This role sits at the heart of the organisation, ensuring our operations run smoothly while supporting the Chief Executive with executive coordination and administration.

Though not a grant-making role, this position offers valuable insight into the charity sector and the inner workings of a major philanthropic organisation. You will be responsible for a wide range of operational and strategic support functions - from facilities and IT systems to Board coordination and external communications. It's a unique opportunity for a capable and enthusiastic individual to play a vital part in our continued growth and impact.

The person:

This successful candidate will have a substantial track record in providing operational and administrative support in a busy office environment, ideally but not essentially in the charity or not-for-profit sector. This will have involved exposure to office and facilities management, reception and visitor support, internal and external relationship management, governance and compliance, finance and budgeting in addition to PA or EA type support to a CEO or senior management teams.

The key to this role lies in its breadth, and being able to see the bigger picture, anticipating needs and to plan ahead effectively to provide comprehensive support across this small but very busy organisation. Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, this person will be able to multi-task and prioritise various pieces of work across the business. They will be collaborative and will be able to tailor their skills to a wide range of needs and if something is not within their immediate skills set, they will have the confidence and initiative to seek out solutions and make them work. Strong written and verbal communications and proficiency in all MS Office packages and experience with SharePoint and Zoom will be important in addition to being confident in proofreading and formatting documents for board papers and reports. Strong budget monitoring abilities and an understanding of data protection and confidentiality standards will also me important.

Experience of having worked in small, busy organisations where a broad knowledge across office based systems will be crucial, with the flexibility and adaptability to tailor skills where necessary and to seek out workable solutions to a wide range of issues. An exposure to HR processes will also be useful as well as being genuinely interested in the important work of the Trust. This role lies at the heart of the organisation and will be central to its ongoing success in meeting its charitable aims and objectives.
