Legacy Officer

This is an important role in MSF UK’s growing Legacy Fundraising team, requiring diverse skills, knowledge and behaviours including understanding of marketing techniques and experience in managing process‑led business administration tasks.

Working closely with internal stakeholders and external partners, this role has a dual focus in supporting Legacy marketing activity and ensuring an effective and organised Legacy administration for the organisation.
