Job Description

Are you a strategic and decisive fundraising leader ready to use your skills and talents so that everyone can know Jesus through the Bible?

At Wycliffe Bible Translators, growth is accelerating, with individual giving up 36% and legacy pledgers doubling to 440 over the last three years. This means supporting more Bible translators, growing local churches, and transforming lives. Remarkably, more Bibles have been translated in the past 30 years than in the previous 2,000. Yet, 1 in 5 people worldwide remain underserved without God's word in their language. We have ambitious plans to exponentially expand individual giving from £1.35m to £5.6m by 2032, built on strong foundations, team enthusiasm, and expert agency engagement.

As Director for Supporters, you will provide pivotal fundraising leadership to build long-term support through regular giving and legacies while valuing donors deeply. You will guide and empower a motivated team within a genuinely remote-first organisation, recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list. If you want your leadership to help us say ‘Yes!’ to supporting more Bible translators worldwide, we encourage you to apply.

• Salary: £70,000-75,000 + benefits

• Terms of appointment: Full-time (37.5 hours per week). Permanent
• Closing date: Friday 21 August at 9am

Key responsibilities:

• Grow individual giving income exponentially from £1.35m to £5.6m by 2032, with a focus on regular giving
• Pilot, test and scale fundraising products that meet donors needs
• Achieve exceptional donor retention rates through shaping a culture of fundraising that puts the supporter at the heart
• Lead and empower a talented team and collaborate closely with colleagues to deliver high performance
