With the scale of the challenge facing nature there are few roles as important as this. Our mission to halt and reverse nature's decline is a big ask. We know we cannot succeed alone, which is why we need a substantial step change in income and supporter growth. This is where your expertise comes in as Director of Individual Marketing and Legacies.

As a member of the leadership team you will drive the work of multiple departments dedicated to attracting, engaging and inspiring members of the public to join us and support our work. We will look to you to develop and launch exciting new fundraising products to attract new audiences as well as optimise and improve the performance of existing fundraising programmes. You will also enhance our reputation for innovation by maximising the use of cutting-edge digital technologies, inventive media planning and ground-breaking creative execution. You will recruit, develop and motivate staff to perform at the highest level too. Important will be the ability to create and deliver an integrated strategy to engage the UK public and maximise every opportunity to gain competitive advantage.

You must have experience in growing a large and complex individual giving programme across all fundraising channels and be comfortable creating and developing fundraising strategies. With an excellent understanding of performance metrics and KPIs for campaigning and engagement, you will be familiar with interpreting data and acting on insight. Good at overseeing external service partners, you will also possess in- depth knowledge of digital media and the use of digital channels for marketing communications. You will have strong understanding of fundraising and data protection regulations too. Critically, you will have significant expertise in customer or supporter development and care.

Comfortable managing budgets and building high performing teams, you will be effective at building relationships and taking decisions. You will favour a collaborative working style and possess outstanding interpersonal, influencing and communication skills. Of course, you will be able to demonstrate a commitment to the natural world and WWF’s core mission too.
