About the role
We're looking for a Marketing Executive to join our Fundraising Marketing team on a 6-month fixed-term contract, helping to deliver sector-leading fundraising campaigns. Working collaboratively with fundraising marketing leadership, this person will play a key role in the delivery of integrated marketing campaigns across a range of channels and fundraising products. Your work will be instrumental in raising money to ensure we can provide vital physical, emotional and financial support for people living with cancer.
As a team, we are responsible for the marketing and project management of several large-scale fundraising campaigns, including Macmillan’s Coffee Morning and the Macmillan Lottery. In this role, you will support the delivery of a wide variety of campaigns, helping the team achieve ambitious fundraising and direct response objectives. This is a fantastic opportunity to further develop your marketing skills within one of the UK’s leading charities.
We’d particularly love to hear from candidates who have experience in areas such as fundraising marketing, direct response campaigns, campaign testing and optimisation, innovation projects or events marketing.
A typical week in this role might include:
Delivering key campaign actions to agreed schedules. This could include writing data, artwork or media briefs, circulating campaign materials for approval, and completing data or artwork checks
Leading a weekly call with an external agency partner to agree actions and keep projects on track
Reviewing campaign performance, reporting internally and identifying optimisations where appropriate
Supporting testing activity across campaigns to improve performance, engagement and ROI
Attending weekly catch-ups with your project manager to discuss campaign progress, blockers and priorities
Preparing for and attending monthly development meetings with your manager
Collaborating with internal teams and external partners to help deliver engaging fundraising and event campaigns
