West of Scotland
Do you want to play a key role in an organisation which stands up for children? Join us as a Community Fundraising Manager in the West of Scotland and help us to maximise regional donations and corporate financial contributions.
In our Marketing, Fundraising and Communications department, we fight for children every single day. We inspire millions of people, from individuals to large corporates, to support our quest for change. We go the extra mile - and we don't rest until the work is done.
As Community Fundraising Manager you will drive regional corporate acquisition by identifying suitable leads, carrying out thorough research, and engaging businesses through the prospecting sales journey. You will provide first-class account management and stewardship for existing partners, maximising value for both parties and supporting long-term retention. Additionally you will:
- Research and unlock networks of high value donors in Scotland
- Support the development and delivery of acquisition, stewardship and product strategies to maximise the funding stream's impact on income and brand engagement
- Contribute to the growth and development of the regional pipeline of partnership opportunities
- Contribute to departmental income reporting, budgeting and forecasting.
To be successful you will have excellent organisation and time management skills with significant experience of corporate new business and a track-record of securing new partnerships worth over £10k. You will have experience of managing high-value corporate and individual relationships, as well as delivering an exceptional supporter experience. In addition you will have:
- Experience of unlocking networks and acquiring high value individual donations
- Experience of working with Fundraising databases (preferably CARE) and pipelines
- Understanding of corporate fundraising legislation (desirable).
This role will require travel throughout Scotland, particularly the central belt. There are two roles available, one maternity cover and one permanent position.
At Save the Children we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children in our work. We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work with children are recruited to work for us. This post is subject to a range of vetting checks including a criminal records disclosure.
If you share our belief in the power of children, join the fight. It takes relentless determination, creativity and a real commitment to real change. Because every child should be able to make their mark on their world, and help to build a better future. We look forward to hearing from you.

Shape the Centre’s implementation and design strategy, and help develop our groundbreaking evidence tools to build and improve the sector’s understanding of what works.
Salary: £31,000 to £37,000 (pro rata if part time), depending on experience and location.
Location: As a UK wide team we welcome applicants from anywhere in the UK. Both full time and part time considered.
IN A NUTSHELL:
You will be part of the small and ambitious team at the Centre for Homelessness Impact, overseeing and delivering services and products that support the sector to use data and evidence to end homelessness.
WHY IS THIS ROLE IMPORTANT FOR THE CENTRE’S WORK
The Centre has three strategic priorities: filling the gaps in evidence and making it accessible; supporting evidence and data to be applied in practice; and mobilising a learning culture across the field. As the Centre’s Implementation and Product Lead, you will work across all three areas, helping the team to learn about the people who we serve (our core users are policy-makers, service commissioners, funders and practitioners in the field of homelessness and beyond) and making sure we design and build effective, accessible and user-centric products and services.
We are a What Works Centre that works with a startup spirit, and as a small team we strive to work in an open, collaborative, and optimistic way. The ideal team member would be someone who is comfortable hosting a user-testing session one day, facilitating a workshop with a local authority another day and working with a developer to build a new feature for our evidence tools on another.
The Centre of Homelessness Impact values both rigorous science and human-centred design, meaning we seek to combine great user experience with solid evidence throughout all of our work. As well as drawing on the expertise within our team, we collaborate with best-in-class partners such as IDEO, Johns Hopkins University, the Campbell Collaboration and the Behavioural Insights Team.
You will be responsible for:
-
Developing, operating and continually improving our evidence tools
-
Representing the voice of our users (i.e. policy-makers, service commissioners, funders and practitioners) on behalf of the team, and translating insights into opportunities for improvements to our products, programmes and overall offer to the field of homelessness
-
Planning, delivering and facilitating workshops with users, stakeholders and partners
-
Working with the Centre’s associates, freelance network and knowledge partners to bring in specialist expertise to support our work
-
Helping shape the Centre’s approach to implementation by anticipating the needs of our users
-
Collaborating with other What Works Centres to find opportunities to amplify our impact across policy fields
Your experience and skills:
-
You have 3-5 years of experience in a design-based role.
-
You have excellent project management skills, know when to challenge, when to listen, and when to lead. You'll be able to build relationships and juggle users, clients, sector leaders and the Centre’s partners. Above all, you get stuff done.
-
You’re a big picture thinker. You see opportunities where others see barriers, and you can confidently and optimistically articulate these opportunities to stakeholders and decision-makers.
-
You have a proven track record of delivering user-oriented solutions. You are passionate about uncovering user needs, identifying opportunities and translating them into products, services or programmes that meet those needs effectively.
-
You have experience delivering digital products or services, partnering with developers and designers, and leading product prioritisation and delivery of user-facing functionality. You are technically minded, and comfortable in technical conversations.
-
You think laterally, take inspiration from broad sources beyond the sectors you work in and approach the development of new solutions creatively.
-
You believe in the importance of using data and insights in decision-making.
NICE TO HAVE:
-
Expertise in visual design skills, including wireframing
-
Expertise in prototyping
-
Expertise in implementation science
Closing date: Midnight, Sunday 5 April 2020
Interviews will take place on Tues 21 April in London. Travel expenses will be covered for any candidates travelling from elsewhere in the UK and other arrangements will also be considered on a case by case basis.
