About the Role
This is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop one of the Charity's most important income streams, with responsibility for generating over £4 million annually through individual giving activities, including regular giving, lottery, supporter acquisition, retention and stewardship.

Reporting to the Director of Fundraising, you'll develop and implement strategies that grow our supporter base, increase donor lifetime value and reduce attrition. Using audience insight, market trends and performance data, you'll identify opportunities to innovate, test new approaches and continuously improve our fundraising programmes.

Alongside fundraising growth, you'll champion excellence in supporter care, developing and embedding a best-in-class supporter experience that builds loyalty, strengthens relationships and reflects our values.

This role is subject to a disclosure and barring check.

You’ll be an experienced fundraising professional with a strong track record of leading successful Individual Giving programmes and delivering sustainable income growth. Combining strategic thinking with a hands-on approach, you'll be confident developing fundraising plans, managing significant budgets and using data and insight to drive acquisition, retention and supporter loyalty.

We're looking for someone with excellent leadership and people management skills, who can motivate and develop high-performing teams while fostering a culture of continuous improvement. You'll be confident interpreting complex data, making evidence-based decisions and using Salesforce or similar CRM systems to maximise fundraising performance.

A qualification in Fundraising, Direct Marketing or Marketing would be welcomed, alongside an up-to-date understanding of data protection, privacy legislation and fundraising best practice.

Most importantly, you'll be passionate about delivering exceptional supporter experiences and motivated by the opportunity to help us be there for the fire services community when they need us most.
