Job description

There will be a requirement to attend in-person team meetings based in the area on a quarterly basis and other parts of the UK when our wider fundraising territory and department get together.

The skills and experience we are looking for in the role are:

• Solid account management experience with the proven ability to build rapport and develop relationships while understanding the needs of a variety of individuals, organisations and groups. You will place our supporters at the heart of everything you do by creating personalised and thoughtful solutions to deliver a first-class supporter experience.
• Strong planning, organisational, and multitasking skills to meet deadlines and achieve both team and individual goals, including managing relationships with Macmillan supporters, volunteer groups and meeting key metrics such as supporter retention and increasing fundraising targets.
• Impactful written and verbal communication and influencing skills to enable you to engage, inspire and deliver key messages combined with experience of collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders.
• Proactively acquire new business and new relationships through targeted acquisition including research, completion of applications, and presentations to supporters/companies/groups to secure new income and/or relationships.

This role is home-based with mobile working. Your home base needs to be in Wales (or close to the border) as you can expect to work across Wales to meet supporters face-to-face approximately 2 to 3 days a week. You must have a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle or the ability to travel frequently across the region.

It's an exciting time to join Macmillan Cancer Support as we launch our new five-year strategy and work towards delivering our vision to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.

You will raise awareness of our vital services and the difference they make. Your innovative ideas, personalised guidance, and support will help supporters achieve their fundraising goals while acknowledging their individual journeys and highlighting the profound impact of their contributions.

At Macmillan, talented people work together to support those living with cancer. Our values guide everything we do, inspiring our actions. Our new organizational strategy aims to make every pound raised count even more. With your help, we'll transform cancer care for the future.

There will also be a requirement for flexible and out-of-hours work to support occasional evening and weekend activities, compensated with time off in lieu. Our benefits include:

• 25 days holiday plus flexible bank holiday options, increasing by 1 day each year up to 30 days
• Pension matched up to 7.5%
• Over 120 learning and development opportunities, including external professional qualifications
• Flexible working patterns, such as compressed hours and flexible start/end times around core hours of 10am-4pm
