About this job

You'll play a key role in supporting continued income and participant growth through their portfolio of sporting, challenge, community fundraising activities, and mass participation products.

In this role, you'll lead the development of a cohesive marketing strategy and insight-led approach to product development for their community and events fundraising team. You'll work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to reach, engage, and build meaningful long-term relationships with their supporters. You'll champion an insight-driven and engagement-first approach to Marketing and Product development, with their audiences at its core.

You'll innovate and test new marketing channels, products, and approaches. You'll stay up-to-date with the latest Marketing and sector trends and identify opportunities to ensure they can proactively respond to an evolving external environment.

Feasibility and insight will be the backbone of your work. You'll be able to demonstrate how you've used data to drive decisions and develop products and campaigns. You'll also be digitally savvy, and an ability to create and manage Meta campaigns would be a great advantage.

Being at the centre of the Community and Events team, your communication skills and ability to build strong, outcome-focused relationships will be key to your success.

If you're enthusiastic, hardworking, and motivated by helping others achieve something amazing in support of a cause that means the world to them, they'd love to hear from you!
