At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.
We are looking for an ambitious and driven people person, passionate about raising money to support Cancer Research UK. As a Relationship Manager, you will have a direct impact on the relationships we build with our local communities, building a multi-million-pound pipeline of potential supporters that will have a significant positive impact across Cancer Research UK’s portfolio in current and future years.
This role will predominantly be focused on generating new business and will be tasked with realising the extremely high potential we have in the Northwest region. You will use your networking skills to explore the abundance of corporate and community opportunity that will drive income and grow the pipeline as well as maintaining strong relationships with our existing supporters.
This is a great role for someone that is a self-starter, who enjoys networking, meeting a diverse group of people and loves to see results – only this time those results have a life-changing impact on those living with cancer.
What will I be doing?
* Supporting the development of prospect pipelines and opportunities by identifying and cultivating leads.
* Building strong working relationships with other divisional team members.
* Working with divisionally based and other CRUK staff to maximise supporter activity with a focus on those that will help support national and divisional strategies.
* Hitting fundraising targets for CRUK's life-saving research.
* Planning and delivering effective rewards and recognition to increase supporter loyalty and income.
* Inspiring, developing and managing supporters to achieve agreed objectives by offering outstanding, tailored stewardship to build emotional loyalty and maximise lifetime value through cultivation.
* Ensuring each supporter has a stewardship plan in place which best fits their motivations, utilising the cross-organisation portfolio of products and engagement opportunities to raise awareness of CRUK’s impact and relevance.
* Planning and delivering appropriate effective reward & recognition to increase loyalty, income and longevity with our supporters.
*This is a home-based role with significant travel across the patch to maximise engagement. On average this would be 60 percent out in the field (travelling around your patch meeting supporters) and 40 percent home based. However, this is subject to change based on business need. There will be some evening working required to attend committee meetings; however, you will get this time back via our time off in lieu policy.
What skills will I need?
* Excellent networking and relationship management skills – and the ability to motivate and influence supporters or customers to reach targets.
* Proven ability to generate new business, new ideas and adapt style and approach to meet the needs of different supporters or customers.
* Experience of working as part of a high-performing team, achieving and exceeding KPIs and targets.
* Experience of working unsupervised with the ability to drive and generate own workload.
* A strong solution-focused approach to help supporters overcome any challenges and maximise their fundraising efforts.
* Great time management, prioritisation and planning skills.
* Excellent communication and presentation skills (face to face, written and phone).
