A day in the life of our Senior Regional Fundraising Manager:
In this busy but rewarding role you’ll be accountable for the delivery of bold income growth objectives. It’s a strategic lead role. There's a strategic focus on our supporter-led fundraising income stream. You’ll seek to increase activity and income in this space with robust supporter journeys, effective marketing plans and oversight of our new tiered stewardship plan.

In addition, you’ll be the key contact for critical relationships with several external agencies and delivery partners.
Fundraising is the building block of the Red Cross, without it there'd be no Emergency First Aid, no Refugee Support, and no Disaster Relief. Our team share the same goal - to spread the power of kindness and help those in greatest need.
