This role is perfect for an experienced direct and digital marketer passionate about engaging people to support our mission to halve emissions and restore biodiversity. You will support the development of specific one-off donation strategies. You’ll be responsible for the development and implementation of complex fundraising campaigns, designed to inspire new and existing supporters to give one off gifts through a range of channels and products, from email and mailing appeals to digital ads and merchandise.
Job requirements
In a typical week you could:
- Draft a multi-channel engagement plan and supporter journey for an upcoming campaign that inspires new and existing supporters to donate one-off gifts
- Write, build, send a fundraising email reacting to a current event - reviewing the great performance and then influencing colleagues to make space to prioritise a reminder email next week.

About you
You will love autonomy and will enjoy working collaboratively across the fundraising department and wider organisation. You’ll already have plenty of marketing experience to bring, and you’ll be able to take a strategic approach to delivery, independently taking on a key area of the direct marketing programme. You’ll be fully responsible for the assessment of the fundraising campaigns that you lead, and you’ll be focused on optimising performance to deliver income to power our fundraising and our campaigns.

Our commitment to diversity
We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are under-represented in environmental and campaigning organisations and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this.
One of our Anti Racism Plan objectives is to proactively achieve stronger representation of people of colour, particularly within leadership positions, and we have recently published ambitious race representation targets.
As part of our commitment to increasing representation of people from underrepresented communities in the environmental sector, we are piloting a Guaranteed Interview Scheme (GIS) as a new approach to make our recruitment more equitable. If you identify as a person of colour, you can choose to opt in to the Guaranteed Interview Scheme.
We will be aiming to offer everyone who opts into the scheme and meets the essential criteria a first stage interview. While we fully intend to honour this, exceptionally high application volumes may affect our capacity. If so, we will communicate clearly and keep candidates informed as we continue to learn and improve.
