• Manage the holistic data brief for campaigns including audience targeting working with the Program Manager and Data teams.
• Monitor success in emergency fundraising appeals with a view to identify opportunities, innovation and best practices and share across fundraising functions.
• Manage internal and external stakeholders to successfully deliver fundraising campaigns on time and to budget.
• KPI reporting against strategies and budget targets.
• Support the wider team on other campaigns and programs throughout the year.
