The CoppaFeel! fundraising team is going through a very exciting period of growth! So we are looking for a passionate new team member to take on the role of Challenge Events Assistant.

The role of Challenge Events Assistant will sit within the CoppaFeel! Challenge Events team, in the Fundraising Department. You will work with both our Bespoke Challenge Events Manager and our Sporting Challenge Events Manager to support on CoppaFeel!’s challenge events portfolio. This includes our flagship ‘CoppaTrek!’ events that will look to bring in over £1.2 million in 2024, as well as our sporting events programme that includes London Landmarks Half Marathon, Vitality 10k, Royal Parks Half Marathon and Brighton Marathon - to name but a few! 

In this role, you will be the first point of contact for all challenge events participants, providing excellent supporter experience and building relationships whilst offering motivation and fundraising advice. Alongside delivering outstanding supporter care, you will also handle essential administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our day-to-day operations and so that our events go off without a hitch.

This role does require some evening and weekend work - although not behind the laptop! Instead you might be cheering on a team of runners at the sidelines of a marathon race, or lacing up your hiking boots, and walking and talking, alongside our CoppaTrek! participants. Therefore, please bear in mind that as part of this role, you will be expected to travel and may have to stay away from home on occasion. Should you be required to work on weekends, you will be entitled to time off in lieu.

This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office at least 2 days per week.
