Are you a creative, results driven, direct marketer looking for a new opportunity to raise money so that no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own? We’re looking for an individual with direct marketing experience to join our fast-paced Individual Giving department as a Direct Marketing Executive and help us retain and develop our supporters using various online and offline DM techniques as part of the Retention team. 

This is an incredibly exciting time for Shelter as the entire organisation is rallying behind our ambitious strategy to end the housing emergency. To enable this strategy to become a reality, we have developed a new Income Generation plan that will see us significantly increase our annual income over the next three years. We need ambitious individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

About the role

This is an exciting and challenging role where you will work to retain supporters from 12 months onwards, keeping them up-to-date on our work and motivating them to get involved. This will see you working collaboratively with internal teams and external agencies to collectively deliver income and expenditure targets in line with our Retention and Development strategy. You will work across various products including cash, crowdfunding, regular giving, supporter journeys and stewardship, and use multi-channel communications, including direct mail, telemarketing, email/online and PSMS. 

About you

You’ll have a proven track record in direct marketing that has seen you use traditional and online methods to either recruit or develop customers/donors. Used to preparing, maintaining and reporting on income and expenditure budgets using spreadsheets, you’ll be confident interpreting data and have a high level of numeracy and accuracy. Results driven, collaborative and customer focused, you’re able to influence others, are willing to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas, methods and processes.
