About the role

The Senior Digital Fundraising and Marketing Manager is a vital role as you lead on the Community and Events digital strategy and oversee implementation to acquire and retain supporter audiences. You’ll also line manage a Digital Fundraiser and Marketing Manager and work closely with other members of the Community and Events team, as well as colleagues across the organisation - including other Income Generation teams, Digital, Marketing, Social Media, and CRM teams.

About you

You’ll possess proven digital expertise and need a strong understanding of best practice in marketing communications and experience of drawing up digital marketing strategies. You’ll also be used to delivering marketing results in a customer focused environment and adept at managing and analysing marketing campaigns.

The ability to digest complex data, extract key insights to inform strategies and campaigns and turn findings into clear actions is important too, as are strong project and campaign management skills.

A highly effective communicator with the ability to manage stakeholder expectations, you are skilled in managing high and varied workloads and you have experience of line managing and leading others to develop testing plans and optimise campaigns. What’s more, you enjoy collaborating across teams, thrive on keeping ahead of emerging trends and horizon scanning and are excited by the prospect of working in an innovative team to improve our Community and Events fundraising offerings.

Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.

Benefits
