Developing retention strategies: Engage with regular donors to uplift their contributions through multi-channel approaches (mail, email, phone). 

Strengthening relationships: Implement donor reactivation and communication programmes to keep supporters engaged and appreciated. 

Growing mid-level giving: Identify new high-value donor prospects, improve stewardship, and test innovative ways to grow income. 

Campaign management: Lead on end-to-end campaign activities, ensuring timelines, budgets, and performance metrics are met. 

Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams, external agencies, and suppliers to ensure successful fundraising campaigns and initiatives. 

Innovation & Growth: Stay on top of market trends and explore new ways to expand our direct marketing programme.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re seeking someone who is driven, creative, and highly organized. You’ll need experience in fundraising and campaign management, with a knack for building relationships and developing strategies that optimize income and donor engagement.

This role reports to the Senior Fundraising Manager (Retention & Roomsponsor Partnership) and works closely with a vibrant team, including the Senior Officer (Roomsponsor). You’ll also have the opportunity to collaborate with YMCAs across the country and directly impact the lives of young people.

We are independently registered and governed in nine countries (India, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, UK, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe) bound together by our vision for youth power. We run youth-led programmes to tackle the issues that young people care about the most –  We also run the Youth Collective – a growing network of over 4000 local youth civil society groups and organisations in 185 countries. We are committed to creating an agency that walks the talk on power shifting, using the power shifting checklist, both internally and externally.
