ADD is currently transforming its way of working and its own staffing structure to deliver on its new strategy and become a Participatory Grant Maker. This has brought opportunities for trialing new HR related initiatives (such as a 4-day working week) and global standards and also posed new and interesting challenges which means we require additional support.
Contract: Full-time and permanent (though we are open to considering applications from those who want to work on a part-time or job-share basis). We are currently trialling a 4-day working week for the same pay and you will have the choice to opt-in to the trial on the understanding it could end.
Location: This role is open to applicants based anywhere ADD currently has staff (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda or UK). You must have an existing right to work in the country you wish to be based.
Salary: Please see our Global Salary Scales for more information on salaries payable in different locations. This role will be paid at the rate for Grade E1 in these scales. We do not negotiate on salary.
Closing date: 15 September 9am UK time
The Opportunity.
ADD international is supported by a loyal donor base of regular givers, and a smaller group of cash givers. We are looking to grow our donor acquisition within this audience by trialling different approaches. We have recently undertaken some donor insight work which will form the background to this approach.  In addition to leading this work, the Individual Giving Manager will be responsible for optimising the stewardship of our existing donors and working with the Supporter Care Coordinator to deliver this.  
Part of this role will also involve relationship management of some mid- and high-value givers, promote legacy giving and community fundraising, and provide accurate and insightful reports on income and the donor base.  Our overall goal is to increase income through individual giving in order to facilitate the flow of resources to disability justice activists and their organisations. 
This is a rare and exciting opportunity for someone who wants to combine their skills and experience in individual giving fundraising with a decolonial approach to fundraising. If you believe in ethical storytelling, challenging traditional narratives and innovating to cultivate and build a donor base who share our values, this could be the role for you.
Ideal Characteristics.
- You have substantial experience in donor acquisition, donor communications and stewardship. 
- You are committed to social justice issues such as reform within international development, philanthropy and the disability justice movement  
- You are good at building relationships with donors, activists, and colleagues.
- You believe in doing things differently, innovating and a test-and-learn approach.
- You think strategically and know how to translate your ideas into action 
- You have experience in managing and delivering multi-channel fundraising appeals.
- You know how to lead and collaborate well with others, including people from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds  
- You are well organised and good at project management and planning.
- You are skilled in copywriting for fundraising.
- You have experience in using a fundraising database like Raiser’s Edge (or similar)
- You have experience in developing donor journeys and retention communications for a regular giving file. 
- You can accurately report on income and develop meaningful insights about the individual giving file.
- You are self-motivated and take initiative  
- You are comfortable working remotely 
- You are adaptable to changing organisational needs 
- You might know about funding for disability rights which would be advantageous
