As well as being a confident project manager, you’ll need to be a strong communicator to engage with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders to ensure our campaigns hit deadlines and deliver targets.
Understanding your budgets and campaign performance is also a vital part of this role as you’ll play an important part in budget development and management. Our programme is always focussed on further developing and growing our supporter engagement and financial support, so this role requires strong knowledge of audience segmentation, planning in a supporter-centric way and campaign KPIs. It’s also important to understand how we’re compliant and working within all regulations and as well as best practise processes.
With the protection and growth of individual giving and legacies being two of the ‘Three Giants’, this is an especially exciting time for us. You’ll be joining a re-energised team ready to embark on a new focused direction to serve the thousands of beneficiaries who need our help every single day.
We’re looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic team member that will help us drive forward continuous improvement and look for opportunities for our programme. We look forward to hearing from you!
Specialism: This role will primarily lead in our engagement and ongoing development of our regular giving programme. (This includes products like Poppy Supporter as well as other forms of regular donations.)
You will be contracted to our London Hub, Haig House. Under our Future Working framework, there will be some flexibility for working remotely/at home, using our collaboration tools to work with but with a minimum expectation of two days/week connecting directly face-to-face with colleagues at the hub.
