Job Profile

Are you a passionate fundraiser looking to make a difference to communities around the world? And do you have experience of working with agencies and colleagues to deliver direct response campaigns across a range of different channels? 

CAFOD is reaching out to new audiences with an aspirational proposition that no one should be beyond the reach of the love and care they need to thrive and this role will play a key part in this. This is an exciting and varied post that will be responsible for growing and diversifying our traditional mail-based acquisition programme and prioritising a digital-first approach so that we can fulfil this aspiration.

With a special focus on acquisition, you will create a plan and coordinate activity to attract at least 15,000 new donors to CAFOD annually. Your creative and data-led recommendations will drive performance of future campaigns and you will work across the organisation and with external agencies to deliver campaigns on time and within budget.

You will have proven experience working on fundraising/marketing campaigns across a range of channels and will demonstrate a curiosity for exploring and maximising on new opportunities to recruit new donors. You will possess expert marketing judgement and be able to manage a varied workload to deliver high quality fundraising campaigns. Working day to day without supervision, you will be expected to resolve everyday challenges and obstacles independently. If you are not from a not-for-profit background, but believe you have transferable skills, we would be happy to hear from you. 

Reporting to the Head of Individual Giving, this role sits in a team of six and is part of the wider Supporter Fundraising section. The Individual Giving team are responsible for recruiting new donors and delivering a complex and varied retention programme for existing donors through a range of channels. We raise over £13 million and recruit 15,000 new donors a year.
