You will lead a team of two Managers, with three further staff, and coach them to continue and to develop further as a highly effective team.
The post holder will also oversee the supporter care function and deliver on digital innovation as the organisation evolves. You will also collaborate with colleagues across the campaigns department to ensure that together they can have maximum impact and raise maximum income.
