• Lead on developing and improving new processes and automations to save organisational time and resources through digital technology to drive quicker and more optimised outcomes.
• Maintain accurate supporter information in an accessible and secure way through IT systems such as the CRM and Data Warehouse in accordance with data and charity legislation.
• Develop and present modelling an analysis of supporters through more targeted and personalised communication utilising modern statistical analysis techniques.
• Create and maintain processes allowing for self-service of simple or regularly scheduled selections by staff members.
• Develop a robust and efficient audience segmenting and selection process for more complicated selections in a timely manner, considering appropriate targeting, efficient messaging, and other comms activity.
