Fundraising Database Specialist

Role Overview:

The Talent Set is thrilled to be working with a fantastic charity as they search for a Fundraising Database Specialist to support them for a 3 – 6-month project.

As the Fundraising Database Specialist, you’ll be at the heart of the transition from eTapestry to Raiser’s Edge, ensuring that our systems, processes, and team members are ready to thrive. You'll play a key role in resetting procedures, upskilling colleagues, and ensuring the database becomes the backbone of a data-led fundraising strategy.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the charge in transitioning from eTapestry to Raiser’s Edge, ensuring smooth operations and troubleshooting any technical issues.
• Provide hands-on training to colleagues to ensure proper use of the database—everything from entering donations correctly to generating impactful reports.
• Review, reset, and streamline database procedures to ensure we’re working smarter, not harder.
• Work closely with the Raiser’s Edge team to identify and implement the best training opportunities for staff.
• Champion the use of data to support strategic fundraising efforts, ensuring best practices are followed across the team.
• Be the go-to "fixer" for database-related challenges, helping the team resolve issues and get the most out of our systems.

Person Specification:

• You’re confident using and optimising Raiser’s Edge (or a similar CRM) and have experience guiding teams through change.
• You see problems as opportunities to innovate, simplify, and improve.
• You can break down complex systems into simple, practical steps, inspiring confidence in others.
• You’re hands-on and love solving problems, no matter how messy they might be.
• You understand the principles of good data-led fundraising and how it fuels impactful campaigns.
• You’re clear, approachable, and can build relationships with colleagues at all levels.
• You thrive on structure and accuracy, ensuring no detail is overlooked.

What’s On Offer:

A fully remote working pattern with access to London office if you prefer.

A competitive day rate of £155 - £215 per-day + holiday (dependent on experience) for the successful candidate.

An exciting 3-6-month opportunity, working within a fantastic organisation.
