Job Description
Job title: Senior Community Fundraising Manager covering north, midlands and Scotland
Company: Breast Cancer Now
Job description: The role
Thousands of people in our communities are affected by breast cancer, and many of these are compelled to help by fundraising for Breast Cancer Now. To enable us to best support our network of fundraisers, and create a sector leading programme, we’ve just reconfigured our community fundraising team.
This rare opportunity has initiated a variety of well-crafted roles. This one is all about leadership and strategy development and implementation. You’ll lead your team to new heights of success, fuelled by expert and unwavering support.
You’ll spearhead the development of your region and country’s strategy. Innovating, adapting and learning, this role will build sustainable income from new audiences and loyal supporters.
This dynamic role will see you lead on a range of activities such as marketing, supporter thanking, reward and recognition and supporter engagement events. You’ll also manage the community fundraising operations team, who are responsible for mass market DIY fundraising along with analysis, reporting and fulfilment.
Your team of six, with two line reports, will stand out. You’ll nurture and inspire them to love and excel in their roles, empowering them to take an active role in how we do things.
When it comes to supporter experience, your aim is sector leading standards. This role cares deeply about providing exceptional stewardship and relationship management, delighting our supporters and increasing their lifetime value.
About you
You are person centred and passionate about the difference your skills, experience and tenacity can make. Strategically minded, you’ll be dedicated to delivering success, believe in going the extra mile and enjoy a dynamic, fast paced role.
You’ll embrace the challenge of building back in your area, growing relationship fundraising and ideally have a good understanding of mass market fundraising too, including supporter journeys, data processes and reporting and analysis.
Your love of teamwork and the art of leading and inspiring your team to achieve amazing results will shine through all that you do. You’ll also love the buzz of creating new income and smashing targets!
Your previous experience could be in community or another fundraising discipline but whatever your fundraising background, your success in leading teams and increasing income will make you perfect for this exciting and rewarding role.
