About the role
We have an exciting opportunity at Help Musicians to join our Fundraising team in a newly created Community Fundraising & Engagement Officer role.
We need an ambitious relationship fundraiser who’s passionate about Community Fundraising and can unlock its potential in ways that will grow our supporter base. This role is the key interface between Help Musicians and the community of musicians, supporters and volunteers who currently raise income for the charity, or potentially would do in the future. The CFEO recruits to, retains and develops relationships within this community through excellent marketing and digital engagement; by providing outstanding supporter care and by sharing resources that drives up brand equity, supporter loyalty and income.
The role would suit a community fundraiser looking to put their own mark on a programme full of potential.
About you
You will have demonstrable experience in the charity sector (at least two years), specifically in growing community fundraising support, with a proven track record in driving income and supporter base volumes through the development of new tactics. It is key that you have experience in developing and executing community fundraising plans in line with Charity goals.
You will also have experience in using CRM systems; effectively managing fundraising data and providing insights on performance. You must be comfortable with creating and developing content. You also need to be passionate about maintaining relationships with our volunteer and supporter base, through effective and targeted communications. Whilst happy to work on your own initiative, you will be able to work collaboratively across departments.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join us at an exciting time leading up to our centenary in 2021, to help us achieve our ambitions to provide more support and reach more people than ever before.
