Individual Giving Manager

We have two Individual Giving Manager vacancies within the mental health sector. These are newly created roles at separate but connected charities.

One is with the umbrella charity and the other is with one of their member charities. Reporting into the same Head of Individual Giving, each role will lead its own charity in developing income from individual giving.

The umbrella charity is a younger charity in operation for 7 years, and they are about to launch a product linked to women’s health and mental health – a sector leading step for them.

The member charity has been in existence for around 50 years and supports people severely affected by mental illness. They have a loyal support base which is cash-led.

The roles will need the same skill set from individual giving experts but will have their own nuances and differences. The roles are fully responsible for all individual giving activity, with income of c.£300,000 a year for each charity.

Both charities are in the investment stage of developing the programmes and there will be opportunity for creative and innovation on both programmes.

There is an individual giving officer for each role that will report to each manager.

As both programmes are developing there is the need to keep improving on processes, reporting and systems.

Ideal skills and experience:

• Strong individual giving/direct marketing experience ideally from a small to medium sized charity
• Line management and able to get the best out team members
• Budget management
• Strong ability to manage internal stakeholders
• Excellent communication skills
• Track record of strong performance against targets
• Creative and able to spot opportunities
• Ambition and wants to put their own mark on a programme
