Alzheimer’s Research UK’s (ARUK’s) Supporter-led Fundraising (SLF) team saw rapid expansion in the years before the pandemic, and now has big ambitions to continue that growth through creative, powerful marketing campaigns, improving supporters’ fundraising experience, developing exciting fundraising products, and driving income to power more world-class dementia research.

Working across our Sporting Events and mass participation fundraising products, you will deliver market-leading campaigns, develop creative and engaging supporter content, and explore new channels of communication and re-engagement with our supporters to achieve further transformational growth.

• Lead multi-channel marketing campaigns for our mass participation fundraising events.
• Write clear, engaging and fun copy for campaigns, emails and web.
• Work with agencies, partners and internal stakeholders to ensure campaigns are delivered on time, to budget and hit all key targets.
• Review and implement new technologies to improve our campaigns, drive engagement and boost supporter experience.
• Be a pivotal player in the delivery of over £1m income in the next year.

What we are looking for:

• A marketeer with experience running successful income-driving marketing campaigns from concept to delivery.
• Budget management, campaign planning and project management experience.
• An experienced copywriter who will create fun, engaging copy to acquire new supporters and steward supporters through their fundraising journey.
