What we're looking for

• A proven track record in individual giving or direct marketing; hitting targets, managing budgets, delivering campaigns
• Experience across omnichannel acquisition: mail, digital, telephone

• A collaborative, can-do approach and genuine commitment to the cause

What's on offer

• £40,000 - £43,000 depending on experience
