About Orange Sky 

At Orange Sky we are on a mission to Positively Connect Communities and we do this by providing the world's-first free mobile laundry and shower service to people experiencing hardship.

The Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead and grow Orange Sky’s Individual Giving fundraising program, ensuring a supporter-centric approach to generating income and engaging donors.

With a strong focus on collaboration, you’ll work closely with Marketing, Brand & Communications, and the wider Fundraising team to create seamless and inspiring donor journeys.

Reporting directly to the Fundraising Leadership Team, your role is pivotal in ensuring our campaigns are strategic, well-executed, and deliver measurable results that align with Orange Sky’s values and impact goals.

In a nutshell, this role is responsible for: 

• Develop and implement the national strategy for individual giving, including annual plans, budgets, and income targets.


• Lead the planning and delivery of donor acquisition and retention programs across digital and traditional channels (e.g. Meta, Search, DTV, telefundraising, 2-step).


• Foster a test-and-learn culture by using data insights to continually optimise campaigns.


• Work closely with the Marketing team to execute integrated communications and fundraising campaigns.


• Ensure regular giving and appeal campaigns are delivered on time, within budget, and achieve KPIs.

• Ensure all fundraising activity aligns with supporter needs, market trends, and compliance standards.


• Provide leadership and mentoring to staff or contractors working across individual giving initiatives.


• Collaborate across departments—including with the Bequest Manager—to identify and nurture long-term donor relationships.


• Contribute to a positive, values-aligned, and inclusive culture that reflects the spirit of Orange Sky.
