As part of this, they are replacing their fundraising database and want to make sure their supporter data is connected and used well across the whole organisation.

Ultimately, you'll be driven by the needs of the project.
If you have a background in data excellence and being part of Data migrations or transformations in the past, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call directly.
There is real opportunity within this role to be exposed to all areas of a nonprofit organisation as you build relationships across all team and witness them also joining up data from their shops to their finance team too. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to leave a massive imprint on a household name.
Please note that due to an organisational need to get this position filled, we may close this before the stated date, should our client deem there to be enough suitable applicants.

About EduSpots
EduSpots is a dynamic, community-driven UK and Ghana-registered charity that connects, trains, and equips volunteer community educators (known as ‘Catalysts’) to drive grassroots educational change. These efforts center around the creation and operation of community-led ‘Spots’—innovative education spaces benefiting learners of all ages.
Founded in 2016, EduSpots has grown to support 50 communities through 400 local Catalysts who play a central leadership role. We believe in a community-led model that can be adapted globally. Our Ghana-based team facilitates three leadership programmes—Ignite, Catalyse, and Inspire Mentoring—enabling Catalysts to run clubs focused on early-years education, digital literacy, STEM/environmental education, and gender equity, ultimately reaching over 15,000 learners each year.
EduSpots’ rapid growth has been recognized through accolades like the Tes International Award (2018) and the Big Give Supporters’ Choice Award (2022). We were recently a finalist for the 2023 Their World Scale-Up Innovation Prize, and our Founder was a finalist for the UNESCO-backed Varkey Foundation’s Global Teacher Prize. We are now expanding our model, supported by independent evaluation findings and prestigious accelerator programs, as we explore its global potential.
