Are you ready to take ownership of a high-potential fundraising product and scale it into something truly game-changing? Do you love blending creativity, data, innovation and supporter experience to drive big results? This is your chance to lead, shape and grow a charity lottery from the ground up – and directly power life-changing care across Guy’s & St Thomas’, Evelina London and Guy’s Cancer hospitals.
We’re investing in this role at a pivotal moment of growth. Our fundraising team is growing, and a major capital campaign for our children’s hospital is on the horizon. This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious Individual Giving specialist to build something flagship, strategic and high-impact.
About Us
Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity and Evelina London Children’s Charity are part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation. Together, we help build the foundations of a healthier society by supporting one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK.
You’ll join a supportive, inclusive, ambitious team that values flexibility, collaboration and wellbeing. We’re proud to be a Living Wage employer and champion diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do.
The Opportunity
As Individual Giving Manager – Prize-Led Fundraising, you’ll lead the development, growth and day-to-day delivery of our newly launched charity lottery. This is a true product-owner role: you’ll shape the strategy, drive innovation, build audiences at scale and turn a young product into a core, sustainable income stream for the charity.
From big multi-channel acquisition campaigns to supporter journeys that genuinely inspire loyalty, you’ll have the freedom and backing to test, learn and grow.
You’ll also:
· Lead the strategic direction and marketing plans for the lottery and future prize-led products
· Drive large-scale acquisition campaigns across door-to-door, digital, email and mail
· Use data, insight and supporter feedback to optimise performance and retention
· Ensure full compliance with Gambling Commission regulations
· Build brilliant relationships with agencies, suppliers and internal teams
· Own the budget, forecasts, KPIs and performance reporting
Above all, you’ll play a central role in ensuring every supporter feels valued, inspired and connected to the real-world impact of their support.
Why This Role Is Special
· Own a product – this lottery is newly launched, with huge potential for growth
· You’ll scale at pace – with senior buy-in, investment and ambitious income targets
· You’ll see tangible impact – your work will directly support frontline NHS care across three hospitals
· You’ll be part of a growing, high-performing fundraising department at a transformational moment
· Test, learn and innovate with senior support and appetite for new ideas
About You
You’ll bring:
· Strong experience in multi-channel Individual Giving acquisition
· A track record of delivering income growth and managing budgets
· Confidence working with agencies and external partners
· A creative, analytical and supporter-first mindset
· The ability to balance big-picture strategy with hands-on delivery
· A passion for innovation, testing and continuous improvement
Experience with lotteries or prize-led fundraising is brilliant – but not essential if you’re excited to learn fast.
