A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Major Gifts Officer to join the Major Giving Team at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

About the role

This is an exciting time to join the Major Giving team, as we embark upon a new Major Donor Strategy building upon our existing portfolio of high-value supporters and developing new programmes and initiatives to attract and inspire new supporters to our cause.  The role is wide-ranging and will include elements of research, event management, stewardship and communications.  You will have an opportunity to engage at senior level both within the organisation and at external networking and fundraising events.  Some travel will be included but you will be normally based at our City Office in London, right in the heart of the ‘Square Mile’.

About the team

The Major Giving Team covers Trust and Foundations fundraising as well as Major Donors.  The wider directorate includes Corporate Partnerships and Events, Individual Giving and Legacies, Commercial Partnerships and Merchandise as well as Community Fundraising. The Fundraising Directorate is a happy and energetic department and thrives in a collaborative environment. We work closely across the organisation with our volunteers and service delivery colleagues to ensure that we all share a common purpose and understanding of the wonderful individuals and families we help and the amazing people and organisations that are inspired to support our charity.

About you

We are seeking an enthusiastic, confident and articulate individual, as comfortable in networking circles as amongst peers. Excellent verbal and written communication skills at all levels is a ‘must’ along with a clear eye for detail and pride in quality of work.  You will be adept at following processes, as this will be important in ensuring a high and consistent standard of stewardship experience.  This role is key within the Major Gifts team, supporting the Major Gifts Manager and Head of Major Giving.

A background in charity fundraising will be an advantage, particularly if you have experience of working with high-value supporters or on major gift appeals.  However, you may have equivalent experience and skills from a public, private or education sector background, and these will be considered also.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a new full-time permanent role, Head of Supporter Experience, in the Fundraising Directorate at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

SSAFA is the UK’s oldest tri-service charity, providing lifelong support for serving personnel, veterans and their families.  Last year, we helped 82,001 people from the Armed Forces family to get back on their feet. We provide hope, welfare and financial support for as long as it takes to give back independence and dignity to all those who turn to us for help. From the youngest recruit to the oldest veteran, no one’s service is ever forgotten.

To enable us to grow further, we have identified a need to realign SSAFA’s fundraising and marketing /comms resources to truly place supporters at the centre of their relationships with the charity.  Achieving this will mean cultural, process and systems changes in how we plan, develop and inspire supporter experiences, starting with our fundraising and marketing communications functions. 

About the role

• This is a senior leadership position within the Fundraising directorate, reporting to the Director of Fundraising.
• Your aim will be to inspire and maintain engagement with existing and new supporters in order to create high-value lifetime relationships with SSAFA.
• You will have overall responsibility for creating a data-led and data-insight approach to planning and resource allocation within the Fundraising directorate, helping to shape the shared strategic goals of the Fundraising and Marketing teams.
• Working across multiple teams, you will define the strategic direction for SSAFA’s supporter experience, with a product neutral remit that spans Fundraising and Marketing, focused on building high levels of engagement with existing and new supporters.
• To be successful you will support and influence teams across Fundraising & Marketing, ensuring that the Heads in these directorates support a joined-up approach and that informed decisions are made in allocating resource and optimal access to SSAFA’s database of supporters. 
• You will inspire the broader organisation to place supporters at the centre of its activities, embedding the experience of the supporter into its thinking.

About the team

You will be joining a high-performing team with considerable experience across a broad and mature portfolio of fundraising products and activities.  There is a widely shared recognition that to make a paradigm shift in inspiring supporter value and engagement, a cultural shift needs to take place within the team.  Reporting directly to the Director of Fundraising this role will guide and implement that change.

About you

To carry out this role successfully you will have developed and implemented a supporter-centric strategy in previous roles, whether in a charity, private or public sector context.

You will have excellent strategic and practical knowledge of Customer Relationship Management programmes/ systems and of analysing supporter life cycles and creating segmented supporter profiles to optimise fundraising campaigns and new product development.

You will have used your knowledge and experience of developing customer/supporter strategies based on analysis of supporter behaviours and value-alignments to deliver programmes that inspire engagement using a variety of channels and engagement products.

You will be ambitious and driven, seeking a challenging role that enables you to lead a significant transformation in the way that Fundraising and Marketing functions operate at scale.  There is excellent potential for this to provide a significant career opportunity for someone focused on being at the forefront of redefining the way in which the charity sector builds high-engagement and lifetime value from its supporters.

You will have strong leadership drive, and be skilled at balancing and aligning multiple stakeholder interests.

SSAFA is an employer that values the diversity of its workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

No agencies please. Any unsolicited submissions from agencies will be accepted as a direct application from the candidate and no fees will be payable.
