About this role

The Donor Engagement Manager is responsible for developing and delivering engagement programs and fundraising campaigns that maximise the value PositiveMedia provides for donors — spiritually, personally, and communally — while increasing PositiveMedia’s donor income.

This is a full-time position with the flexibility to be structured as two part-time job share roles: Off-Air Campaign Manager (0.8 FTE) and Donor Journey Manager (0.4 FTE).

The Donor Engagement Manager role has two key areas of focus, as set out below. If the role is set up as a job share arrangement, the Off-Air Campaign Manager will be responsible for the first point below, with the Donor Journey Manager being responsible for the second:

Managing off-air fundraising campaigns: Ensuring high-quality, timely, and effective delivery of campaigns outside of on-air activities to maximise engagement and donor income.
Managing donor engagement journeys: Design and deliver donor engagement programs to deepen donor relationships, build loyalty and increase giving outside of live fundraising periods.

Key Responsibilities Include:

Plan, coordinate, and implement high-quality off-air fundraising campaigns (e.g. direct mail, digital marketing, events, etc) to achieve donor engagement and income targets.
Provide excellent project management to ensure campaigns are delivered on time, within budget and with strong outcomes.
Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to execute creative, messaging, and distribution elements.
Analyse campaign results, report on key performance indicators, and recommend improvements for future campaigns.
Design and implement donor journeys that reflect different stages of the supporter lifecycle: acquisition, retention, upgrade and reactivation.
Create personalised, timely, and meaningful communications to enhance the donor experience and drive loyalty and giving.
Partner with the data and engagement teams to effectively segment audiences and tailor donor engagement activities.
Monitor engagement metrics and donor feedback to continuously refine and improve supporter journeys.
Lead projects independently and collaboratively, ensuring cross-functional alignment across fundraising and engagement efforts.
Build strong working relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Collaborative, emphathetic, and team oriented.
