Digital Marketing and Social Media: Familiarity with digital marketing strategies, including using social media for engagement and online fundraising.
Relationship Building: Experience in building and maintaining relationships with donors, corporate sponsors, or community groups.
Project Management: The ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, meet deadlines, and deliver high-quality results.

Qualities:

Self-Motivated: Proactive and able to work independently while staying aligned with organisational goals.
Creative Thinker: A flair for developing innovative ideas for campaigns, proposals, and storytelling.
Collaborative Team Player: Willing to work closely with others, share ideas, and contribute to a supportive team environment.
Attention to Detail: Meticulous and thorough, ensuring that all communications and grant applications are polished and professional.

This role is open to individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned fundraiser, a skilled communicator, or someone with a passion for helping others and a willingness to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

Gain practical experience managing a global database for the leading international network in Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Build your Salesforce expertise with real-world use cases relevant to your level of expertise
Make a real difference by ensuring our network’s data is reliable. Your work will help us accurately represent and connect our 2,000+ members
You will receive an insightful induction into GNDR’s work, training to carry out your volunteer role and ongoing support from the GNDR team
