We are delighted to be working with Shaftesbury, the disability charity that enables each child, young person and adult to live a life that adds up for them. Building on a 180-year track record they work to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through a wide range of disability care, special education and rehabilitation services across England, Wales and Northern Ireland

The charity now seeks an experienced Supporter Retention Manager to join their team.

With exceptional stewardship and people skills, the successful Supporter Retention Manager will be responsible for developing and delivering strategies that strengthen relationships with supporters to ensure they feel valued, engaged, and connected to Shaftesbury’s mission. This role focuses on enhancing supporter loyalty and lifetime value through personalised, insight-led communications and stewardship initiatives.

Working across a range of channels—including direct mail, telemarketing, gaming, and digital—you will drive income growth by deepening engagement and identifying opportunities to increase income from existing supporters.

The successful candidate will:

• Bring proven experience in developing and delivering innovative supporter engagement strategies across multiple channels including digital, direct mail, and print.
• Demonstrate strong analytical skills with a deep understanding of audience segmentation and donor journeys to drive retention and growth.
• Excel in managing multiple fundraising campaigns from concept to execution, consistently meeting or exceeding income targets.
• Be a compelling communicator with the ability to write persuasive fundraising copy and deliver engaging presentations to diverse audiences.
• Thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, showing excellent time management, attention to detail, and a proactive, flexible approach to teamwork.

You will be a collaborative, team player with the ability to work under pressure and deliver outcomes to tight deadlines with exceptional project management skills.  Experience of working with telemarketing or similar agencies to drive revenue is desirable, but not essential, as is experience with legacy marketing and gaming products and a familiarity with digital marketing / fundraising, and email automation tools.
