Fundraising Manager Jobs

Citizens UK 

Citizens UK is a people power alliance of diverse local communities working together for the common good. Our mission is to develop leaders, strengthen civic organisations and make change. Our 550 member communities are deeply rooted in their local areas and connect every day to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Through the method of community organising we enable people experiencing powerlessness to develop their leadership and come together with the power and strategy to make change.  

This leads to hundreds of neighbourhood improvements - from zebra crossings outside primary schools to renovated public toilets in cemeteries. And it leads to some of the biggest campaign impacts in the UK, such as winning over £2 billion of wages through the UK Living Wage campaign, securing a legal cap on the cost of credit to control exploitative lending, and ending the detention of children for immigration purposes. We enable local campaigns to grow into large-scale social change projects such as the Living Wage Foundation, Parents and Communities Together (PACT), Sponsor Refugees, and Refugees for Justice, that form an integral part of our theory of change. The most prominent of these is the rapidly growing Living Wage Foundation with a network of over 14,000 accredited Living Wage Employers across the UK.

CoppaFeel! currently has teams of participants in some of the biggest sporting events in the UK, including London Landmarks Half Marathon, Royal Parks Half Marthon, Vitality 10k and Brighton Marathon - to name but a few! As the Sporting Challenge Events Manager, you will be committed to seeking new opportunities for growth, whilst delivering a standout supporter experience for all of our challenge event participants.

You’ll be responsible for the promotion and marketing of a range of diverse mass participation events to both warm and cold audiences, and devising engaging and inspiring stewardship journeys to ensure our participants continue to support CoppaFeel! long into the future.

You’ll need experience of managing large-scale events and raising significant income, with the ability to generate ideas and solutions. The role is very fast-paced and will require excellent attention to detail and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving. 

The job does require some evening and weekend work - although not behind the laptop! Instead you might be cheering on a team of runners from the sidelines of a marathon race, or meeting and greeting cyclists at the finish line of an epic ride.

 Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to attend different events across the UK and may occasionally need to stay overnight. Should you be required to work weekends, you will be entitled to time off in lieu.

This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office at least 2 days per week.
