Community fundraising manager – South of England in London

Breast Cancer Now is the research and support charity. We are the place to turn to for anything and everything to do with breast cancer. However you are experiencing breast cancer, we are here.

This is a new role which will help to deliver a pilot strategy to grow long-term sustainable income by enhancing Breast Cancer Now's on-the-ground presence locally. Joining the Relationship Fundraising team and working closely with the High Value Partnerships team, this role is responsible for cultivating new long-term relationships and, in turn, driving fundraising income.

Uniquely, the post holder will help to implement a large-scale trial to further grow Tickled Pink, an award-winning partnership between Asda, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel! which has raised over £100m. The goal is to grow both engagement and future income by directly supporting colleagues across Asda stores in their local area.

In addition, this role will establish and grow a portfolio of supporters in Bristol and the southwest by cultivating relationships with new and warm supporters including individuals, clubs, societies and local companies. It will also line manage a community fundraiser covering a patch in London and the southeast.

What's special about this role is that you'll be working alongside a supportive, innovative and fun team which has delivered continued growth in fundraising over the last five years. This is the first time the charity has had a community fundraiser locally based in the southwest. It is one of five new roles being introduced as part of the pilot, and the goal is that they all become permanent.

You are a pro at cultivating long-term relationships with a variety of new supporters to generate income, and have great community fundraising experience working with individuals, local companies and clubs and societies. You are proactive and can work in a flexible and agile way; perhaps you've helped to deliver successful pilots in the past. You are solution-focused and experienced in developing and delivering ideas to grow income and engagement in the short and long term. With great communication skills, you are a team player and love working independently as well as part of a large team with various stakeholders.

This is a remote role, and the candidate will need to be based in Bristol or the surrounding area. Regular travel will be required to meet supporters and visit Asda stores in your region, as well as to our offices in London and Cardiff.
