Jobs in Greater London

Dear Applicant,

The opportunity

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Individual Giving and Legacy Marketing Manager to guide and develop our individual giving and legacy programme. We enjoy a solid base of support across one off (cash) donors (c3,000), regular givers (existing base of c4,000), in-memoriam and legacy. We also operate a small lottery.

Having enjoyed good success in recent regular giving acquisition activity, we are looking to capitalise on this and also to build up other areas of our individual giving programme.

Our work in fundraising is designed to maximise the money needed for research to help the one in six of us that has a neurological condition.

Why join us?

We are heading into the final year of our current strategy, 2023-2026. This was developed with growth in mind and there is budget for investment and scope to shape aspects of delivery. Targets are sensible and have been built carefully from the bottom up. We have already enjoyed some good results with notable success in regular giving acquisition. This provides a solid base from which to build.

We have a strong and supportive Board of Trustees who are behind fundraising and fully support the plans. Trustees are open to business cases for further investment providing the rationale is robust.

We are looking for someone who is proactive and a team player with good management skills but who is also a self-starter that is happy to be “hands on”.

If successful in securing this role, you will find yourself in a small but dynamic environment with a flat structure where decisions are taken quickly. The role reports to the Director of Fundraising (currently being covered by a trusted interim with lots of experience).

I use my role as CEO to champion fundraising and ensure that we maintain our current focus on building our pool of individual support and ensure that supporters feel valued and recognised. We are a collaborative team with a positive culture that has a fundraising ethos at its heart. There is scope to test and learn, and to grow in the role. Our interim director is extremely experienced and will provide support and mentoring as required.

This is an exciting, growth opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you.

To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter of no more than two pages stating why you would like to work for Brain Research UK and why you believe you are well suited to the role. Deadline: 5pm Wednesday 26th March 2025. Interviews will be held w/c 31st March 2025.
