Through advocacy, emergency relief, and long-term development, they bring hope and transformation where it’s needed most. At the heart of their mission is a deep commitment to demonstrating God’s unconditional love.

We are seeking a strategic and innovative Supporter Experience Manager to lead and deliver an engaging product experience across World Vision's regular giving portfolio, with a particular focus on their flagship Child Sponsorship programme. This is an exciting opportunity to drive supporter satisfaction, loyalty and retention by enabling donors to see the tangible difference they're making in the lives of the world's most vulnerable children.

In this influential role, you'll develop, test and optimise the end-to-end donor experience, ensuring communications and touchpoints are tailored to audience behaviours through smart segmentation and a test-and-learn approach. You'll lead experience improvements for the critical first year of Child Sponsors' journey, manage a rigorous testing programme, and be a key business owner for the supporter CRM system. With responsibility for delivering ambitious KPIs around retention, satisfaction and committed giving income, you'll collaborate across the World Vision Partnership to deliver continued innovation in fundraising product experiences.

This is also a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate effective Christian leadership, managing the Individual Giving Experience team to grow skills, engagement and commitment.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

• Experience delivering complex, multi-channel direct response campaigns
• Strong use of data and customer insight to drive innovation
• Strong knowledge of segmentation, targeting and creating campaigns tailored to distinct audiences
• Experience of successful people management and coaching others for growth and development

Come and create real, lasting change on a global scale. Join a passionate, purpose-driven team dedicated to transforming the lives of the world's most vulnerable children. At World Vision, your work will bring hope, drive progress, and deliver life-changing support to children who need it most, wherever they are in the world. This is your opportunity to make your fundraising and product management skills count where it matters most.
