Role Purpose:

ShelterBox is looking for an experienced CRM Manager to lead our CRM team. This role sits within Fundraising Operations and provides crucial support for our fundraising and communications efforts, ensuring we provide excellent, audience-driven supporter experiences and effective data and systems management.

As the CRM Manager, you'll ensure our CRM supports the income goals of our Fundraising and Communications teams, making our fundraising activities efficient and providing the best experience for our supporters.

It's an exciting time to join us! Our Business Systems Transformation Project is well underway. This includes implementing a new CRM alongside new finance, project, and HR systems. You'll play a key role in this project, working with our established project team to achieve a mid-2025 launch.

In this role, you'll ensure the CRM develops and meets the needs of users, covering user training, data management, process improvements, supporter journeys and new developments. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact on our organisation and our supporters.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with excellent communication skills and the ability to work with the full range of stakeholders. The ideal candidate will develop a strong understanding of ShelterBox's values and processes.

As CRM Manager, you will work in our Fundraising & Communication Team taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of our CRM and work on the ongoing development as we move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 in mid-2025. Your initial focus will be on developing a solid understanding of our new CRM, the current use cases, and building your product knowledge. You will be supported by a project team (including Subject Matter Experts across the organisation) and learning with us as we test, migrate and go live.

Once live, you will become the primary contact for our Dynamics 365 users. Using your experience of managing CRM systems (ideally within a fundraising context), you will support teams to deliver their objectives, managing the workflow through the CRM Team and identifying medium/long term improvements.

We have ambitious plans to drive audience focus and make even better use of our data. Working closely with the Head of Fundraising Operations, you will help define new ways of working and develop a road map for our CRM that aligns to our organisational strategy.

Duties will include but not be limited to:

· Manage the day-to-day operations of the CRM team, ensuring work progresses, including identifying issues and improvements.

· Through effective line management, support and develop the CRM Team.

· Become our in-house CRM Specialist; maintain and manage the CRM by troubleshooting and problem-solving issues, engaging with teams to identify gaps and opportunities and designing and implementing solutions.

· Develop and maintain CRM documentation that logs and tracks key metrics and information. Ensure CRM process documentation is fit for purpose and that all updates are appropriately recorded.
