Senior Sporting Events Fundraising Executive

£37,335 per annum

Permanent, Full-time, 37.5 hours per week

Location: London Bridge office and home based

What the job involves

Our Events and Community Fundraising team raises funds for Prostate Cancer UK through a programme of owned products, activities and events, in addition to third-party challenges. In addition to our two owned cycling events, the Grand Depart Classic and the Big Blue Bike Ride, we also recruit teams in events such as the TCS London Marathon, Great North Run and the London Landmarks Half Marathon. The team also organise our walking event series, March for Men, and our football themed walk, the Football March for Men.

In the role of Senior Sporting Events Fundraising Executive, you will lead with the delivery of generating income across our third-party events programme, including many of the largest and cherished half and full marathons in the UK. You will also line manage two Events and Community Assistants to enable the team to deliver a high level of customer service, whilst supporting the Assistants with their development plans. You will also be tasked with identifying new opportunities across the UK in the charity events market.

This role will cover all aspects from leading project meetings, setting budgets, creating a marketing plan, building the supporter communications, organising event logistics, delivering event weekend support, followed by remittance and thanking to ensure we maximise the funds raised from these events. Alongside this, you will work with other teams within Prostate Cancer UK to support the full calendar of events and take the lead with supporting our volunteers at our events.

Working with our Attention, Inspire and Reinforce teams, you will ensure that we make the most of every opportunity, from promoting the events to warm and new audiences, identifying and building relationships with the strongest case studies, to ensuring a high proportion of event participants continue to support us after completing their event.

What we want from you

You will have experience working in a sporting events team with a background of assisting or leading with the delivery of large-scale events, covering aspects such as marketing, communications and event delivery. You’ll also have first-class communication skills and have the ability to motivate and inspire for our cause. Strong organisational skills will be combined with the ability to prioritise a busy workload and work to tight deadlines.

Why work for us?

We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

What we offer

Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will support you to develop your skills and expertise. We’re particularly proud of our agile working arrangements which allow (as appropriate to the role) for flexibility around where and when we carry out our work to ensure we can achieve the best results for the charity, at the same time as balancing our working lives with life’s other commitments!

We also offer a competitive benefits package including generous leave entitlements, season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance and group income protection as well as a Health Cash Plan and free advice and support on pretty much anything via our Employee Assistance Programme.

Our commitment

Our teams, supporters, partners, and those living with prostate cancer, come from all walks of life. We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes our charity stronger and helps us reach more people. If you share our ambition we’d love to hear from you.
