Individual Giving Manager
We're looking for an experienced Individual Giving Manager to play a key role in driving sustainable income growth through a portfolio of supporter fundraising products. This role sits at the heart of audience engagement and income generation, ensuring supporters have meaningful and effective ways to contribute to our mission. You'll combine strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and customer insight to identify opportunities, strengthen performance, and help shape future fundraising propositions that deliver long-term value.
Internally you’ll be known as Product Manager (Fundraising).
What it's like to work here
You'll join a collaborative and supportive fundraising team within a directorate focused on growing engagement, income, and long-term supporter relationships. You'll be part of a culture that values partnership, innovation, and shared success. We encourage curiosity, welcome fresh perspectives, and create opportunities for people to contribute ideas that help us improve and evolve. Whether working with colleagues across the organisation or building relationships with external partners, you'll find a team committed to making a meaningful impact while supporting one another to do their best work.
As this is a national role, there is flexibility on your contractual place of work. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. You should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40–60% of your working week.
