Independent Age – Individual Giving Manager

Salary: £46,227 per annum.

Contract: Permanent, full time hours.

Location: London W14. Hybrid working (minimum 4 days per month in the office).

Independent Age, the national charity focused on improving the lives of older people facing financial hardship, is seeking an Individual Giving Manager to work closely with the Head of Brand and Marketing to manage the delivery of their growing individual giving fundraising programme.

Independent Age believes that no older person should face financial hardship. That’s why, by 2027, our goal is to have improved the lives of one million older people. Our impact across policy, campaigning, information and advice, grant-making and partnerships improves lives by increasing the financial well-being of older people in financial hardship, enabling greater choice and independence in wider areas of life. There has never been a greater need for the charity’s work; more than two million older people are already in poverty, and millions more live their lives on the brink with precarious finances.

This is a key role at the charity, leading on growing their supporter base through acquisition, and initiating and building supporter marketing campaigns, inspiring supporters to help Independent Age enable older people to live well with dignity, choice and purpose. The postholder’s work will be driven by data and insight, carried out in partnership with agencies to deliver their ten-year investment strategy which aims to stabilise regular giving volumes and long-term income.

The ideal candidate will have experience of working in a fundraising/marketing environment for regular giving, in direct marketing and digital channels to recruit new supporters combined with a strong understanding of individual giving products, audiences and the end-to-end supporter journeys and the role of different channels in fully integrated campaigns. You will also be able to demonstrate achieving annual fundraising targets and project management of large-scale supporter acquisition direct marketing campaigns across a variety of online and offline channels. Your excellent communication and problem solving skills will be combined with the ability to work on your own initiative and to form positive working relationships across the organisation. Finally, you must have a passion for, and affinity with, the charity’s cause.
