You should have excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate in a clear and engaging way; excellent writing skills for fundraising, including the ability to develop high quality direct marketing materials and script; first class skills in how to plan and implement fundraising mailings/campaigns; excellent knowledge of database marketing and the principles of relationship marketing or fundraising; strong analytical skills to learn from practice and adapt plans and activities accordingly; knowledge and understanding of keeping and using data, especially maintaining its integrity and the importance of segmentation, and knowledge of legal/financial issues associated with fundraising, such as data protection and confidentiality, direct debit and Gift Aid.

Excellent organisational and project management skills; enthusiasm and an entrepreneurial, results-orientated and proactive approach; the ability to prioritise workload and work to tight deadlines; excellent computer skills, particularly Excel; flexibility to undertake a range of hands-on duties; willingness to work occasional evenings and weekends (with time off in lieu) and travel occasionally within the UK, and a genuine interest in and understanding of international development issues are also essential.
