If you’re someone who loves spotting patterns, uncovering opportunities, and turning data into decisions that make a difference—this could be your next move.

We’re looking for a Fundraising Research & Data Insights Lead to help inform the future of our fundraising. This is more than dashboards and spreadsheets (although you’ll love those too). It’s about using data and intelligence to unlock new income, build stronger relationships with supporters, and ultimately help us provide vital care to people when they need it most.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll sit right at the heart of strategy and storytelling—combining analytical thinking with real-world impact. One day you might be identifying a future major donor, the next you’re sharing insights into campaign that reaches exactly the right audience at exactly the right time.

What You’ll Do

• Hunting down new funding opportunities across trusts, grants, corporates, and major donors
• Building rich prospect profiles and helping shape a powerful major donor strategy
• Digging into CRM data to uncover trends, behaviours, and untapped potential
• Creating dashboards and reports that people want to read (and act on)
• Helping teams target smarter, engage better, and raise more
• Tracking campaign performance and turning “what happened?” into “what next?”
• Keeping us ahead of the curve with sector insights, trends, and competitor activity
• Championing data quality, compliance, and best practice across the team

We’re looking for someone who:

• Gets a buzz from data, detail, and discovering the “why” behind the numbers
• Has experience in fundraising, nonprofits, or a similar insight-driven environment
• Is confident with CRMs, Excel, and visualisation tools like Power BI
• Can turn complex analysis into clear, compelling stories
• Juggles priorities without dropping the ball
• Builds great relationships and enjoys working across teams

And just as important…

You’ll bring curiosity, initiative, and a genuine motivation to make your work matter. This is a role where your insights don’t sit on a shelf – they drive real change.
