Fundraiser Jobs
The role
Thousands of people in our communities are affected by breast cancer, and many of these are compelled to help by fundraising for Breast Cancer Now. To enable us to best support our network of fundraisers, and create a sector leading programme, we've just reconfigured our community fundraising team.
This has created an exciting opportunity for a community fundraising operations executive to join our wonderful team.
In this role, you’ll help to deliver our mass market ‘DIY fundraising’ programme. This will involve looking after our fundraising pack fulfilment, supporting on our email stewardship, and managing day to day enquiries from our incredible supporters.
You’ll work closely with the wider community fundraising team to provide operational support and, reporting into the senior community fundraising operations officer, you’ll also assist on a variety of projects. This could include anything from analysis and reporting to stewardship communications and making sure our supporters have the materials they need for their fundraisers.
You’ll be well supported in your role, with the opportunity to learn from members of the wider team. You’ll also be encouraged to develop your skills by attending sector webinars and accessing our organisation learning programme.
About you
We’re looking for a brilliant communicator who thrives in a busy environment and is committed to the highest standards of supporter stewardship. You’re a team player who is eager to help others achieve amazing results but is also confident to work independently. You have a creative eye and some experience of developing communications and content, and can write compelling copy for a range of audiences.
You’ll have previous experience of stewarding mass market audiences via email and will be familiar with relationship management databases.
With excellent organisational skills, you’ll enjoy managing a varied workload, prioritising key tasks, and ensuring projects are completed within set deadlines. You’re logical and analytical, with the ability to analyse results and report against KPIs.
It’s great if you’ve worked for another charity before, and community fundraising experience is a bonus, however it’s your passion for making a difference that’s important – if this sounds like you, we can’t wait to hear from you.
