Supporter Acquisition Executive – Fundraising

Supporter Acquisition Executive – Fundraising

Save the Children works in over 120 countries; saving lives, fighting for children’s rights and helping them to fulfil their potential.

Nearly 7.2 million children die before the age of five each year and nearly all the deaths (99%) occur in developing countries. Save the Children (SCUK) is committed to an ambitious range of breakthroughs for children, including doubling our supporter numbers and quadrupling our impact for children over ten years.

It is an exciting time at Save the Children and your role will be to join the Individual Giving Acquisition Team which has a significant budget and is responsible for recruiting high volumes of new supporters in 2012.

Offered as a one year contract (with the possibility of a permanent position), your role will be to plan and execute a variety of direct marketing campaigns to bring in new supporters. You will run our successful telemarketing programme with an external agency to convert leads and cash supporters to regular givers. You will also manage a variety of special acquisition projects and test activities as we try to broaden our audiences and recruitment channel mix even further. We are looking for a pro-active project manager who is able to take ownership of multiple campaigns at once and deliver on time and within budget.

A proven track record of managing telemarketing and direct mail campaigns is essential for this role. Experience of press advertising, SMS, digital and outdoor media would be an advantage.

In return we offer an excellent salary and the opportunity to join leaders in the sector to create dramatic change for children.

We see this as a great opportunity if you are looking to build your career from within the charity sector or if you are looking to join the charity sector from a marketing or telemarketing agency.
