Charity People is delighted to be partnering with an incredibly inspiring health charity to help them find an experienced and motivated data professional to create an organisational data strategy and help revolutionise their approach to data. You'll thrive on working with supporter data to make processes better, using automation to improve donor experience, driving a mission to retain and grow their supporter base. The organisation is in their most exciting period of change for years. They are at the start of a large digital transformation programme, overhauling their current systems in multiple areas. As part of this, they are replacing their fundraising database and want to make sure their supporter data is connected and used well across the whole organisation. They have recently started the project and chosen a CRM and partner to deliver it, but now they need someone to spearhead the data angle and drive the project forward alongside the Strategic Transformation Project Manager and Data Manager. We are looking for someone who has either led or been heavily involved with a CRM migration before. The successful person will understand the importance of putting data at the heart of driving decision making, and the importance of customer or supporter journey and acquisition. This is a real opportunity to build an incredible legacy within a passionate charity, building on great work that's been done so far and helping to take it to the next level. This role is an 18-24 month contract at present, though we anticipate other opportunities may present themselves at the end of this interim period. Our client's HQ is in the Warwickshire area and due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will need to commute in on average 1-2 days per week, though some weeks not at all. Ultimately, you'll be driven by the needs of the project. If you have a background in data excellence and being part of Data migrations or transformations in the past, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call directly. There is real opportunity within this role to be exposed to all areas of a nonprofit organisation as you build relationships across all team and witness them also joining up data from their shops to their finance team too. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to leave a massive imprint on a household name. Please note that due to an organisational need to get this position filled, we may close this before the stated date, should our client deem there to be enough suitable applicants. If you are interested in this new role, please email your most recent CV to Neil Hogan at Charity People. Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with an incredibly inspiring health charity to help them find an experienced and motivated data professional to create an organisational data strategy and help revolutionise their approach to data. You'll thrive on working with supporter data to make processes better, using automation to improve donor experience, driving a mission to retain and grow their supporter base. The organisation is in their most exciting period of change for years. They are at the start of a large digital transformation programme, overhauling their current systems in multiple areas. As part of this, they are replacing their fundraising database and want to make sure their supporter data is connected and used well across the whole organisation. They have recently started the project and chosen a CRM and partner to deliver it, but now they need someone to spearhead the data angle and drive the project forward alongside the Strategic Transformation Project Manager and Data Manager. We are looking for someone who has either led or been heavily involved with a CRM migration before. The successful person will understand the importance of putting data at the heart of driving decision making, and the importance of customer or supporter journey and acquisition. This is a real opportunity to build an incredible legacy within a passionate charity, building on great work that's been done so far and helping to take it to the next level. This role is an 18-24 month contract at present, though we anticipate other opportunities may present themselves at the end of this interim period. Our client's HQ is in the Warwickshire area and due to the nature of the role, the successful candidate will need to commute in on average 1-2 days per week, though some weeks not at all. Ultimately, you'll be driven by the needs of the project. If you have a background in data excellence and being part of Data migrations or transformations in the past, we'd love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line or give me a call directly. There is real opportunity within this role to be exposed to all areas of a nonprofit organisation as you build relationships across all team and witness them also joining up data from their shops to their finance team too. This is a rare and wonderful opportunity to leave a massive imprint on a household name. Please note that due to an organisational need to get this position filled, we may close this before the stated date, should our client deem there to be enough suitable applicants. If you are interested in this new role, please email your most recent CV to Neil Hogan at Charity People. Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
