As well as working on a rapidly-expanding challenge event portfolio, you’ll lead our Community strategy with the support of another member of the Fundraising Team. You’ll also work closely with the Senior Event Manager on a range of bespoke events.
About you: You’re a comfortable communicator with the ability to motivate and engage individuals to take on new challenges and raise funds for the charity. You are confident in managing and supporting volunteers both within the office and on events. Highly organised, you’re a team player, driven to achieve results with a passion for events.
