Our Mission - to bring conservation to life. Our

Marketing and Fundraising Manager plays a vital role in making this happen: inspiring more guests to visit, helping people connect with wildlife, and generating the revenue that supports our conservation, education, and animal care programmes.

This is a new and exciting role, leading the development of a marketing and fundraising team. Initially, you will be both strategist and hands-on deliverer: creating and running campaigns, managing digital channels, and shaping our fundraising approach. Over time, you will build and lead a small team (including a part-time fundraiser) to grow revenue and share our conservation story more widely.

Key responsibilities:

Deliver creative marketing campaigns across digital and print to drive visits, income, and awareness. Manage digital platforms (website, SEO, social media, email, paid ads) and produce engaging content. Lead fundraising activity, including grant applications, corporate partnerships, giving campaigns, and Gift Aid. Build strong partnerships in tourism, PR, and the local community to expand reach. Track performance, manage budgets, and report to the leadership team and Board.

What you'll bring:

Proven experience in marketing and/or fundraising with a track record of revenue growth. A marketing or business-related degree. A professional marketing qualification, e.g. CIM (desirable). Full UK driving licence. Strong digital skills (CMS, SEO, social media, email, advertising platforms). Data literate and familiar with (CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS) marketing metrics. Knowledge of corporate, grant, giving, and legacy fundraising essentials. Excellent copywriting, campaign planning, and project management skills. Experience managing budgets, suppliers, and ideally a small team. A passion for wildlife, conservation, and inspiring public support.

Benefits include:

Free zoo admission (for you and your family), free parking, uniform, staff discounts, training and development, employee wellbeing programme, company sick pay, and pension scheme (*after qualifying service).
