By ‘individual giving’ we mean digital fundraising (through appeals and platforms), potentially direct mail (acquisition and retention) and possibly legacy work and high-value fundraising from corporate partners and major donors.

This will involve project managing cross-organization campaigns across several channels to deliver against targets and objectives.

As an accomplished communicator, you will be able to write engaging content for a wide variety of donors and through different channels, ensuring that they feel personally connected to us. You will also ensure effective response handling and excellent customer care and that our supporter care systems and processes are efficiently maintained and delivered, ensuring donors have the optimal experience.

Reporting to the Director of Development & Partnerships, this role works closely with colleagues across the organization, incorporating budget management, database/CRM management, digital marketing, and social networks.
