Make your work matter and your relationships count.
If you care about people and impact — and you know how to build and nurture lasting relationships — this role was made for you.
Yes, this is another job ad. But this is not just another job. It’s an opportunity to:
> join the team tackling one of the biggest public health challenges of our time
> work alongside truly exceptional leaders and fundraisers
> grow your career with a remarkable organisation
> enjoy a high trust, high performance and flexible environment (WFH 3 days/week).
If you’re a fundraising, philanthropy or customer experience specialist who truly cares about people and thrives providing exceptional experience, keep reading.
Heart Talent is delighted to partner with this small but mighty organisation to find the newest member of their team.
Perhaps you’re working in fundraising and you’re ready for your next step, curious and keen to learn more and grow in new areas.
You might be an established customer experience specialist looking to bring your exceptional interpersonal, communication and relationships skills to the nonprofit sector.
Either way, you’ve got great people skills.
You’re the kind of person who follows up, checks in, and genuinely wants to make a difference.
This job will give you the chance to do that every day while also working to grow the organisation’s major donor and regular giving programs, alongside your fundraising peers.
If you want to be part of a movement and serve a highly-engaged community of donors and supporters while growing revenue and impact, this is a place where you will thrive.

About the opportunity
This is a hands-on, relationship-focused role that blends donor/customer care, donor stewardship and campaign coordination. You’ll work on a flagship fundraising campaign while identifying opportunities to help grow regular giving and major donor programs.
Reporting to the Head of Fundraising Campaigns in a small, tight-knit team, your role will have the following focus areas.
Supporter experience and engagement – managing email and phone enquiries, social media engagement and community management, SMS communications, welcome and thank you calls and general stewardship and engagement activity to deepen supporter relationships.
Major donor and regular giving program coordination – helping to steward key supporters and contribute to relationship plans.
Donor journeys and communications – collaborate with marketing to understand and improve the donor journey and develop and deliver onboarding and retention communications.
Strategic and research support — analysis and research in the CRM database to identify and leverage growth opportunities, track and report on revenue streams.
Campaign and event support – organise small-scale events and donor experiences to build strong relationships with supporters.
About you
You’re confident, organised, curious and kind.
You’re comfortable working independently — making calls to donors, nurturing relationships, coordinating campaign logistics and working with a CRM. Equally, you also thrive when collaborating with others. You’ll enjoy working with colleagues across marketing and fundraising on donor journeys, identifying opportunities and growing revenue over time.
We’d love you to bring:
at least 4 years’ in fundraising, supporter care or high-level customer experience
exceptional communication and interpersonal skills
a natural way with people and ability to build relationships with warmth and empathy
strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle tasks and priorities
a proactive and self-directed work style and willingness to pitch in wherever needed
experience using a CRM system and working with data
a desire to learn and grow in a fast-paced, small team environment
strong emotional intelligence and personal resilience.
Experience in a nonprofit or fundraising environment is ideal but not essential — what matters most are your communication and relationship skills; positive, team-focused mindset; and adaptability.
