If so, join Save the Children as Head of Legacy and Mid-Value, where you will lead a high-performing team to deliver ambitious income and supporter engagement goals by growing two of our most critical and high potential fundraising programmes.
About Us
We are Save the Children. Together we create lasting change with and for children. In the UK and around the world, we influence policy and legal changes, share our expertise and skills with others and bring in new approaches in order to increase our impact for children. We are dedicated to reducing hunger and malnutrition, reducing child poverty, improving health, reducing violence against children and increasing access to a quality education. In this way we help give children a fair chance at a future they deserve.
About the role
As our Head of Legacy and Mid-Value, you will lead the dedicated Legacy and Mid-Value Squad to set and deliver predominantly one-to-many direct marketing strategies that will allow us to unlock the great potential we have within our large and committed supporter-base for donors to give at a higher level either during their life-time and/or by leaving a legacy for children.
You will work within a scrum (championing agile ways of working within the team) to deliver ambitious results and will collaborate closely with the other teams across Fundraising and Marketing as well as contributing to global communities of specialists in Legacy and Mid-Value fundraising.
In this role, you will:
- Lead the Legacy Engagement and Mid-value Squad to create top-tier fundraising programs.
- Develop and implement integrated plans, budgets, and forecasts for Legacy, In-memory, and mid-value fundraising to achieve long-term goals.
- Establish and maintain a clear vision to achieve the Squad's objectives over various time frames.
- Collaborate closely with the Loyalty Squad, Regional teams, and the Philanthropy team to execute the strategy.
- Create and apply new strategies to promote legacies to key groups like volunteers, high-value donors, and in-memory donors.
- Oversee supporter relationship management and pipeline development for both programs.
- Use data to continually optimize our work for the best use of resources and highest income in the mid to long term.
- Support squad members to independently complete tasks for maximum impact.
- Advocate for the needs of legacy and mid-value audiences in cross-organizational projects.
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Proven experience of providing effective and inspiring leadership
- A good understanding of legacy and individual giving programmes and what drives success
- Experience of managing internal and external creative, direct marketing, telemarketing and digital agencies
- Extensive experience in legacy and/or mid-value fundraising, including prospecting, pipeline development and stewardship
- Proven experience in all the levers of fundraising performance and journey planning (data, media, content, creative)
- Experience using data analysis, insight to improve fundraising performance or pipeline management
- Proven experience of using consumer insight at the heart of strategy, proposition, and journey development
- Proven commercial acumen and a demonstrable track record of improving marketing effectiveness and efficiency
- Be a natural communicator, both verbal and written, with excellent interpersonal and relationship-building abilities.
What we offer you:
- A diverse, unique role where no two days are the same, with huge capacity to build and acquire new personal and professional skills and create your own scope to make change within one of the world's leading international charities.
- An organisation that believes in innovation and a diverse set of brilliant colleagues who are both experts in their fields and keen collaborators.
- Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. We also understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
- To have the best (and happiest) employees, we focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing – both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately, once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
