Fundraising Events Manager

In-person events have always played an important part in the Diabetes UK event portfolio.

The Fundraising Event Manager is a pivotal role in the Challenge and Third Party team, within our Engagement & Fundraising Directorate. The role is responsible for our bespoke in-person events, and this currently focuses on increasing participation in, and growing Wellness Walks, our bespoke walking series. The role is responsible for creating and delivering incredible experiences for any participant that chooses to take on an event with Diabetes UK. There is scope for the portfolio of bespoke in-person events to develop in the future. 

Leading on our Wellness Walks series, you will excellently execute events from concept to completion. As an experienced Event Manager, you’ll focus on creating amazing experiences for our supporters, from the moment they engage with Diabetes UK, building loyalty that lasts beyond event day.  

Working in a forward-thinking team, you will develop 3-year growth plans across your events, working continuously to improve our offer and stand out in an increasingly competitive events market. Embracing a test and learn approach, you’ll be confident working with insight and evaluating events to ensure all our engagement is audience centred. 

You will help grow our portfolio of bespoke in-person events, working collaboratively across the organisation to launch new events that help us achieve our mission. This is an exciting time to join us in delivering on this commitment to create a world where diabetes can do no harm.
