Individual Giving Manager

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated Individual Giving Manager to lead the growth and delivery of our Individual Giving Programme as we develop a nationwide movement for urban trees and tree equity across the UK. You'll take ownership of delivering our three‑year Individual Giving Strategy, shaping and delivering multi‑channel acquisition and retention campaigns that inspire thousands of people to support greener, healthier cities.

Sitting within the Marketing, Communications & Individual Giving Team, you will oversee a portfolio of income streams including one‑off and regular giving, mid-level and major donors, payroll giving, in‑memory giving, challenge events, merchandise, and digital fundraising.

You will also line‑manage our Senior Individual Giving Coordinator, ensuring exceptional data management, campaign management, stewardship and user journeys, segmentation and reporting across all activity.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a major impact at a fast‑growing environmental charity committed to transforming urban spaces for present and future generations.
