The Eden Project is looking to recruit a Membership and Individual Giving Manager to cover a fixed term maternity contract until April 2022.
This is a key role managing a small team wholly dedicated to raising unrestricted revenue for the Eden Trust, and building long-lasting relationships with Eden’s valued supporters. As an interim role, we are therefore seeking an experienced Membership and/or Fundraising Manager who can hit the ground running.
