Role & Responsibilities
Join us in bringing London’s wildlife back
At London Wildlife Trust, we’re working to restore wild places and reconnect people with nature. We need more people to join us, support our work and take action for nature recovery across the capital. This role sits at the heart of that ambition, with a particular focus on growing our membership. You’ll lead the day-to-day delivery of our acquisition programme, working with external agencies and colleagues across the Trust to deliver effective campaigns and hit ambitious targets.
You’ll be someone who enjoys looking at the numbers as much as the creative. You’ll use data, audience insight and campaign performance to understand what’s working, spot opportunities and continually improve our approach. You’ll also have the chance to test new channels, develop propositions and explore new ways to recruit members.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside acquisition, you’ll contribute to wider membership and individual giving activity, including supporter engagement, fundraising appeals and legacy marketing.
If you’re an experienced fundraiser or marketer who enjoys combining creative thinking with analysis and practical delivery, this is an opportunity to make a real difference to how we grow support for nature recovery in London.
What you’ll be doing
- Lead the day-to-day delivery and development of LWT’s membership acquisition programme.
- Develop our face-to-face recruitment programme, working with external agencies to monitor performance, identify opportunities, improve quality and maximise return on investment.
- Develop digital acquisition activity, working with the Digital Marketing Lead to plan campaigns, test audiences and creative, monitor performance and identify opportunities to scale.
- Explore and test new acquisition channels and approaches.
- Support the planning and delivery of cash fundraising opportunities throughout the year, and legacy marketing activity.
- Work with colleagues across the team to ensure new supporters have a strong experience from the point of acquisition to welcome, retention and development journeys.
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience delivering successful fundraising, marketing or acquisition campaigns, ideally within a charity, membership or similar organisation.
- Confidence using data, audience insight and campaign performance to evaluate activity, make recommendations and improve results.
- Experience working with external agencies or suppliers and building effective relationships with stakeholders.
- Strong project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns and priorities and deliver to deadlines.
- A genuine interest in connecting people with nature and growing support for London Wildlife Trust’s work.
