Individual Giving Fundraiser Appeals

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from

Are you a direct marketer who loves bringing campaigns to life, understanding what makes supporters respond and using insight to make the next campaign even stronger?

We’re looking for an Individual Giving Fundraiser to join Marie Curie’s Mass Fundraising team, helping to deliver engaging fundraising campaigns that recruit, inspire and retain our supporters.

You’ll join a team of fundraisers raising approximately £60 million each year, with the opportunity to manage campaigns across direct mail and digital channels and make a tangible contribution to our fundraising ambitions. 

What you’ll be doing

• Plan and project manage online and offline fundraising campaigns.
• Work with agencies and internal teams to develop engaging creative, copy and campaign materials.
• Support audience targeting and segmentation across digital and direct mail activity.
• Manage campaign budgets and keep a close eye on costs and value for money.
• Analyse performance and testing results, turning insight into recommendations for future campaigns.
• Work collaboratively across teams including Digital, Finance, Supporter Relations, Database Services and Storytelling.
• Help ensure supporters receive a consistently high standard of care and communication.
   

What we’re looking for

You don’t necessarily need to come from the charity sector. We’re interested in people who can bring strong direct marketing and campaign management experience from fundraising, marketing, sales or a similarly results-driven environment. Charity-sector experience is desirable, rather than essential.

You’ll bring:

• Experience delivering customer or supporter development campaigns using direct marketing channels.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Experience managing campaign budgets and analysing performance.
• Confidence working with external agencies, suppliers or freelancers.
• Good numerical skills and the ability to turn campaign results into meaningful improvements.
• Strong communication skills and an eye for effective copy and creative.
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and decision-making.
