Overview
Job Description
Events and Fundraising Manager Exeter (plus travel) 25k - 28k This is an exciting new role for a well established charity that provides opportunities for young people from around the UK. In an ideal world, we're looking for someone who's done a similar role in a charity before however what's more important is having a strong track record of managing a wide range of events from start to finish - with a variety of stakeholders. You'll be well versed in managing external suppliers that may include agencies and other venues. You'll also be able to demonstrate the ability to get buy in and support from the team internally as well. There's an existing calendar of planned activity that you'll manage. Events can range from those aimed at high net worth individuals and corporates to those at a more local, community level so you'll need to be someone who's happy to roll their sleeves up and get stuck in! As well as managing the existing events, you'll be someone who can identify other opportunities to generate additional income too - you really will be given the opportunity to get creative in this role and make it your own. There's no standard or defined processes for event management currently so this is something you'll put together for everyone to use who's involved with the charity. The head office is based in Exeter. As well as another location in the South West, there are two others in the UK as well. Who we're looking for You'll be someone who's able to show a true passion for the work this charity does! It goes without saying that you'll be a great people person. You'll be working with a large number of stakeholders that'll include the Board of Trustees, major donors and corporate supporters. You'll also be actively engaging with those who deliver the charity's services, service users and community fundraisers. Being someone with event management experience, you'll understand that this role won't always be 9 -5. Travel will be involved, possibly evening and weekend work too. But that's something you'll thoroughly enjoy! If you'd like to know more about this role, get in touch with Sarah who'll be able to give you the details!
