Job description
Are you a talented communications specialist who can write high-quality, strategic resources for fundraisers?
Can you articulate the impact our supporters have on the lives of people affected by dementia? And are you looking for pivotal role in a talented team of specialists?
We are looking for a talented and experienced fundraising communicator, who can manage and develop our Fundraising Information Bank, and provide off-the-shelf cases for support, innovative propositions, regional toolkits for our highest value and mass fundraising audiences.
You will be able to effortlessly craft reactive communications on breaking news, and also write the compelling stories of people affected by dementia. And we need someone who can align everything they write with our brand key messaging and tone of voice.
If you can interpret complex information and make it engaging, and also write strategic copy aimed at fundraising audiences, we need you. If you love building productive working relationships and want to develop this role to make it your own, we need you.
Right now, it’s more important than ever that our supporters know the impact they’re having on the lives of people affected by dementia. Our supporters are pivotal to our work in funding ground-breaking new treatments and our mission to deliver transformational change.
The successful launch of our new visual identity and brand strategy last year has played a key part in raising the profile of our cause. Now we’re building on that momentum - and successful, strategic communication with our supporters is essential to maintain our close relationship and show them the huge impact they have on the lives of everyone affected by dementia.
You will:
- Lead the organisation on strategic fundraising messaging, ensuring it's on brand, insight led and aligned across all fundraising communications and channels.
- Develop and maintain a central information resource that gives Fundraisers access to accurate, up-to-date information about the Society's activity and impact - including a Fundraising Information Bank, Shopping List and bespoke toolkits to support regional fundraising.
- Understand what our supports need to know, often around finances, and be able to provide them with accurate information.
- Develop and maintain strong working relationships across the organisation, particularly with key communication teams in each departments ensuring a two-way flow of information and feedback about resources produced for teams to use.
- Act as a pivot point to receive, align and direct information for fundraising teams and supporters.
- Develop and maintain a reactive information provision service, responding to queries and bespoke requests within agreed deadlines.
- Develop and maintain a proactive information service, making rapidly available the latest news, messaging, facts, stats and stories about the Society's impact.
- Collaborate with colleagues from other directorates to improve the flow of approved facts, statistics and case studies across the organisation.
- Develop, monitor and report on KPIs for the Fundraising Information Bank.
This is a homeworking role with the flexibility to offer hybrid working, but you may be required to travel to attend meetings, events and team-days, so you must reside in the UK, have the correct right to work documents to work in the UK and be comfortable/willing to travel to our offices (London or Birmingham) if/when required.
About you
- You’re highly motivated and adept at writing engaging, strategic copy that translates often complex information for different fundraising audiences.
- You thrive on working collaboratively and can build close relationships across a large organisation with many moving parts, and be a key source of knowledge and insight on what we need to be saying to our supporters.
- You’re someone who can develop processes that ease the sharing of information especially for reactive communications.
- You’re organised with excellent attention to detail, and you can create and update information effectively and quickly.
- You’re comfortable around financial data, and confident asking the questions our supporters need answers for.
- You’re someone who loves a challenge and will make this pivotal role your own.
You are:
- An experienced communications specialist who knows how to make complex information engaging.
- Able to communicate consistently with our key messages and tone of voice.
- High motivated and proactive.
- A confident copywriter who can rapidly produce copy for reactive communications.
- An efficient organiser with excellent attention to detail.
- A strategic communicator who thrives on building collaborative relationships.
- Experienced in writing for a fundraising audience.
If you’re ready to join us and do incredible work, we’d love to hear from you!
