  • Represent the Foundation both internally and externally, acting as an ambassador for the Foundation and advocating for our work

  • Experience of working with data and administrative tasks
  • Experience of working in a similar fundraising executive/supporter care role (desirable)
  • Experience of working with high-net-worth individuals or celebrities would be an advantage
