“A world where everyone is an environmentalist, whether they realise it or not.”

Inspiring ways of living that are good for the environment is no easy task, but in 2014 that’s what Hubbub set out to do. With an ambition to inspire and engage people around practical environmental action the Hubbub team uses their creative skills to design campaigns that disrupt the status quo, raise awareness, nudge behaviours and shape systems. Fast forward 7 years and the organisation is already a multi-award winning pioneering charity, (Charity of the Year 2020 - “Charity Times”), with a stable of stellar partners that is delivering impact across all reaches of our society.

As our story and work continues to grow we have a newly created role aimed at further strengthening our community engagement capacity at a senior level. Driving the overall strategy for our community-focused campaigns you’ll guide projects led by the Creative Partners, ensuring we maximise our environmental and social impact while delivering work to the highest standards on time and on budget.

The role is focussed on 3 key areas: 

Campaign Leadership - Driving strategic direction for high-profile campaigns, predominantly covering our work with local communities. For example, you might work closely with a housing association and its residents to develop a programme that empowers sustainable living. You’ll be responsible for setting and achieving key outcomes as well as delivering fantastic creative work on time and on budget.

Funding Development - Strengthen relationships with existing funders in order to secure future opportunities. Develop new project ideas informed by the latest thinking, trends, and innovation, working with the team to turn them into new income.

People Management - Providing guidance and leadership to our talented Creative Partners, you will help them to achieve their desired project outcomes, while supporting their ongoing professional development.

In terms of functional experience we need an expert in leading and delivering large scale multi-stakeholder local community campaigns, programmes or projects. You must be able to demonstrate an exceptional campaign and project management capability with equally sophisticated stakeholder sensitivity.

In addition to top notch delivery skills we also need a seasoned business developer. If you have a proven track record of securing funding within the Third, Corporate or Government sectors it would lend great credibility to your application. The gravitas & confidence to influence and impress at the most senior of levels is an absolute necessity. 

Where you have gained these skills is less important. Housing Associations, Local Authorities, Social Enterprises, start-ups, community based organisations, the wider third sector or private sector - could all provide the experience we need. The key to what we are really looking for is an excellent ability for local grassroots community organisation and leadership.

We call our culture the “Hubbub way”. Can you be agile, continually create the new, innovate, be fluid, be comfortable with permanent experimentation, take risks… and still deliver outstanding work? The pace and style of working will not be for everyone - but then again we are not looking for just anyone!

What do we offer you in return for your hard work and dedication? These are things like salary (competitive), the organisation (values led & walks the talk), the people (an incredibly friendly and enthusiastic bunch) and the personal fulfilment of actually making a real difference to the world.

This truly is a chance to gain ownership at a high-profile level and help shape the future of a fantastic charity — a real career challenge. So, if you are looking for the chance to really make your mark and impact Hubbub’s future for the better this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

These teams provide expert support to fundraisers in the areas of finance, data analysis, prospect research and pipeline management, database usage, high value audience events, and stewardship and cultivation approaches. Ultimately this role will help to enable fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’, P&P’s and BHF’s priorities.

As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role that covers both research and operations responsibilities in support of the Corporate Partnerships team.

Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation.

As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.

About you

You'll have previous experience of managing prospect pools; segmenting and tracking donors and a strong track record of implementing effective prospect research strategies.
