About the role
We have a fantastic opportunity to join the Red Cross Direct Marketing Team on a temporary contract- could you be the person we are looking for?
You will play a critical role leading a team which manages a programme of inspiring communications, reaching millions of people every year and raising crucial funds for the Red Cross.
You will be working with large budgets so you will need to demonstrate experience in business planning and a high level of numeracy, as well as excellent written and verbal communication skills.
You will support the development of supporter-led strategies to maximise lifetime value. And when disasters strike, you'll play a leading role in launching our emergency appeals.

About the team
This post is within the Individual Giving team, reporting directly to the Deputy Head of Direct Marketing, with three direct line reports and four indirect reports. The IG team is responsible for recruiting new supporters via a variety of media. Relationships with these supporters are then developed to maximise their lifetime value, predominantly by generating cash donations and regular gifts.
Individual Giving contributes two thirds of the fundraising division's annual net income target. In 2017 the IG team aims to raise almost GBP 100 million from an expenditure of over GBP 20 million.
The work of the team directly helps to transform the lives of millions of people in crisis around the world. Recruiting and retaining our donors while motivating and inspiring them to give is essential to our continued success.

About the person
We are looking for a highly motivated individual who is an outstanding leader and project manager. Most importantly you will have a real passion for the work of the Red Cross. So if you have proven experience in direct marketing and project management in a fast paced and dynamic environment, along with vision and a natural flair for fundraising then this might just be the role for you.

Closing date for applications is 23:59 30th July 2017
Interviews will take place on 4th August 2017.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits, these include:

* 36 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
