About the Employer

Our client is a federated charity consisting of a central national office in Leicester, and 178 geographically dispersed local organisations, all working together under the same identity.

This charity recognises that being a parent has never been easy. Every one of their volunteers is trained to work alongside parents to overcome the challenges they are facing. They work with parents to build on their strengths and give them the support that they tell this charity that they need. They offer no judgement – just compassionate, confidential help and expert support. This peer-to-peer support is key to the difference this charity makes and often their volunteers have lived experience of the challenges their families are facing themselves.

Your role as Challenge Events Manager will involve development of event strategies, management of various challenge events and maximizing opportunities and income. You will be creative, innovative with a appetite to grow income.

Your strategic acumen will shine as you cultivate robust engagement and support from across the charity and their network, playing a key role in delivering a successful challenge event programme. You will contribute to the development of high-quality materials that will be used across the fundraising directorate to maximise reach, income growth and impact. You will also have the opportunity to lead strategic projects from idea creation to delivery throughout the charity collaborating with different teams.

To excel in this role, you should possess outstanding planning, negotiation, and communication skills, combined with a deep understanding of the fundraising sector and its’ trends.

Building and managing senior relationships with corporate partners and internal stakeholders will be integral to your success.
