- Support with tracking and reporting of income and expenditure of campaigns
- Excellent project management skills, with the ability to plan and deliver projects to a high standard

About You
This role will be a fast-paced, exciting role for someone who enjoys a challenge. No two days are the same and the joy of launching a campaign which engages and inspires people to donate (often for the first time) to help dying children and their families is immeasurable. Ongoing training and learning will be part of the role but we are looking for the ideal candidate to have strong experience in working on campaigns and digital marketing, so they can hit the ground running:
- Excellent level of communication and presentation skills, being able to tell the story of CHAS in an engaging and inspiring way
- Creativity and a sense of fun in their approach to their work
- Ability to use initiative and ‘think outside the box’ to help develop and deliver new income and donor development opportunities
- Meticulous approach to planning and excellent attention to detail
- Ability to collaborate and engage with internal and external stakeholders in a way which encourages them to participate in CHAS campaigns and communications
- A willingness to learn and to embrace innovative channels and ways of working
- Knowledge and understanding of the marketing mix and demonstrable experience of working on income generation campaigns
- Experience with Google Analytics, Data Studio Dashboard and / or other data visualisation tools
