Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health globally, tackling mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, testicular cancer.
In our mission to stop men dying too young, we’re recruiting four Fundraising Operations Assistants to join our team and help deliver our hugely successful annual charity campaign across our UK and European markets. This is a Fixed Term Contract from September to December 2025.
You will be part of our vibrant and energetic team supporting our fundraising community and the delivery of the Movember campaign across the UK and our key European markets. This is a hybrid role, with the option to work remotely but there will be the expectation to be in the London Office at least three times a week.
We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities and are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities.
You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Be the voice of Movember, responding to all email, live chat, SMS and telephone enquiries from our community in a fast and effective manner.
- Process donations and gift matching requests efficiently.
- Support the Fundraising team on research, outreach, data management and project work as required.
- Support the management of the UK Facebook inbox and fundraising pages.
- Identify any patterns or issues with the website, and reporting these to the Head of Fundraising Operations.
- Support our post-campaign thanking.
- Support office management; including collecting, processing and sending post, and ordering supplies to be used by the team.
- Respond to ad-hoc requests as needed.
- Help execute the distribution of merch and rewards to our key supporters.
- Attend local events, where necessary, to give our fundraisers a remarkable experience, which can include work at evenings and weekends.
For this role, you’ll need:
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- A passion for delivering excellent customer service.
- Great organisation skills and ability to prioritise.
- The ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
- To work well under pressure and to deadlines, with excellent attention to detail.
- Be a great team player.
- A high degree of self-motivation and initiative.
Desirable:
- Proficiency in Dutch, French or German.
- Fundraising experience in a personal or professional capacity.
GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help raise millions for men’s health (not for a CEO’s bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We’ve funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less “one-size-fits-all”, and more specific to each patient’s needs.
We’re even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men’s health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men’s health.
GOOD VIBES:
The vibes aren’t just for Fridays – even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big’s about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.
Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it’s conga time.
GOOD CREW:
Let’s just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We’re all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who’ll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.
Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.
- Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working
- 13 weeks paid Parental Leave above statutory amounts
- Up to 6 weeks of annual leave available
- Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)
- An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support
- Learning & Development opportunities - training allowances and secondments
- A fun stimulating and collaborating culture, with company events
- Service awards after 3, 5 and 10 years
- Bike to work scheme
Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.
Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.
Do you want to DO GOOD?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.
