The team works on an agile basis and there is an expectation that the postholder will develop skills in our four key fundraising domains (acquisition marketing, retention marketing, church & community engagement, legacy & in memory fundraising) and support the execution of marketing campaigns and activities in each of these areas as required.

Key areas of focus in the Church & Community Engagement domain are:

• Engaging church audiences with the work of Tearfund through integrated campaigns using a range of direct marketing, digital marketing and event marketing channels
• Supporting Tearfund’s presence at festivals and conferences
• Helping to achieve challenging annual targets for new church audiences in line with UK fundraising strategy
• Project managing new and existing initiatives to help recruit, train, manage and support DIY fundraisers and volunteers

Do you have the following experience?

• A marketing professional with an understanding of the charity sector

• Excellent oral and written communication skills with ability to write reports and creative briefs
• Good analytical skills and attention to detail
• Ability to collaborate effectively with a variety of stakeholders

If that’s you, then we would love to hear from you!
