Are you passionate about engaging supporters, being audience-led, and building outstanding supporter journeys, with a proven track record of working on projects and campaigns to engage, retain and develop supporters or customers across a range of direct marketing and digital channels? Then join Shelter as Direct Marketing Executive – Supporter Engagement and you could soon be putting your skills and experience to excellent use at the heart of our Individual Giving team.
About the team
Part of a thriving Income Generation department, our Individual Giving team consists of three programmes - Supporter Acquisition (including Supporter Engagement), Direct Dialogue and Supporter Retention and Development. Together, we deliver a diverse programme of work with ambitious income targets that support our organisational strategy, across cash, regular giving and lottery products. We’ve grown quite a bit over the past few years and benefitted from both investment and opportunity for innovation. That’s resulted in us generating over £20m of unrestricted income every year. This is your chance to be part of our success.
About the role
This pivotal role will see you help deliver the Individual Giving (IG) and Retention strategies, working with colleagues across teams in IG to increase lifetime value of cash, regular giving and lottery supporters and collaborating with peers and Heads of team. You’ll work with the Direct Marketing Manager – Supporter Engagement to lead on the delivery and development of the early retention programme which integrates acquisition and retention, and other exciting campaigns and projects, aimed at acquiring, retaining and engaging our supporters and stewarding them across their supporter journey with Shelter.
Essentially, your focus will be on meeting supporter motivations and needs - giving supporters control of how they give, when we contact them and the content that will mean most to them. Helping build multi-channel, integrated and inspiring supporter journeys which build strong supporter relationships and long-term loyalty to Shelter will be your goal. And, along the way, you’ll get to work on new products and propositions to retain supporters in innovative ways and build strong relationships with colleagues, agencies and suppliers alike.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
About you
Passionate about outstanding supporter experiences and maximising income opportunities, you have a good understanding of direct marketing and digital channels such as direct mail, SMS, telemarketing and email. You’re also used to optimising and reviewing campaigns and aren’t afraid to share both failures and successes. Managing and influencing stakeholders to deliver results comes naturally to you too.
What’s more, you excel in analysis and intelligent use of data, are great at utilising insight, including the motivations, interests and behaviours of supporters to guide decisions and have a keen interest in, or willingness to learn about, product management and development. You’re happy to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas, methods and processes too, like to horizon scan and keep ahead of emerging trends and are comfortable working in matrix teams.
