Help us build the profile, relationships and income needed to defeat meningitis
Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) is the world's leading meningitis charity, driven by a vision of a world free from meningitis. Founded in the UK by people whose lives were profoundly affected by the disease, we combine lived experience with life-saving research, policy influence, awareness and prevention campaigns, and trusted support for people affected by meningitis. Working across the UK and with partners and advocates around the world, including through the Confederation of Meningitis Organisations (CoMO), we bring together communities, researchers, clinicians and decision-makers to save lives, improve outcomes and accelerate progress towards defeating meningitis.
We are looking for an ambitious, strategic and collaborative Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications to join our Senior Leadership Team at an important time for MRF.
For the first time, we are bringing fundraising, marketing and communications together into one integrated function. This creates an exciting opportunity for a senior leader to shape our approach, strengthen our profile and supporter relationships, and build sustainable income to support our mission.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will provide strategic leadership across fundraising, marketing, communications and digital engagement. You will lead and develop a multidisciplinary team, diversify and grow income, strengthen our brand and supporter experience, and ensure insight, data and digital opportunities are used effectively to increase our reach and impact.
About you
We're looking for an experienced senior leader who can combine strategic thinking, commercial awareness and strong relationship-building skills.
You will bring:
- Significant senior fundraising and/or commercial income-generation experience.
- Experience of developing and delivering successful income-generation strategies.
- A strong understanding of marketing, communications, audiences and supporter engagement.
- Experience of leading and developing multidisciplinary teams and leading through change.
- Strong financial, digital and data awareness.
- The ability to build influential relationships with supporters, funders, partners and senior stakeholders.
- A collaborative leadership style and commitment to MRF's mission and values.
This is an opportunity to have a significant influence on the next stage of MRF's development, shaping a newly integrated function and helping ensure we have the profile, relationships and resources needed to move closer to a world free from meningitis.
