Crowdfunder is hiring a proactive, strategic, and mission-aligned Strategic Outreach & Growth Manager to help us discover and connect with the people and organisations bringing powerful ideas to life. You’ll play a leading role in building a pipeline of brilliant changemakers, ensuring they find their way to Crowdfunder to make their ideas happen and keep funding positivity across the UK and beyond.

The role

This is a strategic, hands-on role at the heart of Crowdfunder’s growth. You’ll be responsible for identifying and engaging the people and organisations that should be crowdfunding with us — from grassroots campaigners and creative pioneers to forward-thinking charities and purpose-led small businesses.

You’ll design and deliver outreach strategies that spark meaningful conversations, nurture high-potential leads, and drive new project creation across the platform. Your work will directly shape the future of Crowdfunder’s project pipeline — helping more brilliant ideas launch, thrive, and reach the people who need them.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and manage our outbound lead pipeline, identifying high-potential organisations and changemakers across sectors including charity, arts, community, and enterprise.

• Design and execute smart, personalised outreach campaigns using tools like Lemlist and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and iterate based on data and insights.

• Manage warm leads with care, ensuring promising contacts are smoothly triaged to our Campaign Managers with full context and a clear path to launch.

• Optimise our outreach tools and systems, keeping data clean, segmented, and accessible across CRM, spreadsheets, and tracking platforms.

• Collaborate with our Data Lead to surface and prioritise opportunities, and produce clear reporting to track performance and improve outcomes.

• Share outreach insights with Campaign Managers, Marketing, and other teams to inform sector strategies and strengthen overall impact.

About you

• You’ve got solid experience in outbound prospecting, growth, or lead generation, and know how to turn strategy into action.

• You’re confident using outreach tools like Lemlist and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and can manage data across CRMs and spreadsheets.

• You’re a skilled communicator, able to craft messages that feel human, purposeful, and drive action.
  You’re self-motivated and organised, with a keen eye for spotting opportunities and improving processes.

• You thrive in a collaborative, purpose-driven team and are excited to help shape a scalable outreach engine for good.

• You understand how mission-led organisations think — from grassroots organisers to national charities — and can tailor your outreach to engage them with empathy, clarity, and purpose.

Bonus points if…

• You’ve worked with a platform, community organisation, or purpose-led initiative that helps people launch projects or ideas.

• You’re familiar with GDPR and committed to ethical outreach practices.

• You can quickly assess whether an idea is fundable, creative, and community-focused.

What success looks like

• A consistent pipeline of qualified, high-potential leads entering the funnel

• Increased conversion from outreach to live campaigns

• Growth in the number of high-quality projects launching each month

• A repeatable, scalable outbound strategy that supports long-term growth

Our application and interview process

1. Application

The deadline to apply for this role is Saturday 21st June. We encourage you to put a little thought into your application as this is how we’ll start to assess whether we’re the right fit for each other. Your answers to our questions are as important as your CV - and we don’t mind if you use AI to enhance your answers, but you’ll stand out if we can see your personality shine through! 

2. Screening call

This will be a 30 minute video call with Maria (People & Places) to get to know you and what you’re looking for in your next role, to answer any questions you might have, and to make sure we align on all the basics.

3. Technical interview

This will be a one-hour interview with Max (Head of Projects) and another member of the team. We’ll ask you to prepare some kind of practical task in advance, which you’ll present and discuss. This might be a short presentation where you explain your approach to a specific scenario or a list of questions to think about in advance.

4. Values and behaviours interview

The final stage is a one-hour conversation with two more members of the Crowdfunder team, where the focus will be who you are as a team member. We’ll talk about your personal strengths and approach to work, how you communicate and collaborate with others, and alignment with our company values: united for good, think creatively, always be human, and empower greatness.

Reasonable adjustments: If you need any support or adjustments during the interview process, please let us know in your application. We can, for example, send you questions in advance. Simply let us know how we can help, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

About Crowdfunder

Crowdfunder is a fundraising platform on a mission to spread positivity across the globe and we’re excited to be expanding. We are dedicated to turning innovative community ideas into reality, connecting project creators with passionate backers to go beyond the confines of traditional fundraising.

Our values - united for good, think creatively, always be human, empower greatness - are at the heart of everything we do. You’ll be part of a passionate and innovative team that is dedicated to making our world a better place.

Inclusion and diversity

Crowdfunder is tackling society's challenges, by making ideas happen. We connect projects that matter to people and companies who care.

We’re here to support diverse communities and to provide a platform for those who want to be heard; amplifying voices and impact is what we do.

We value the fact that each one of us is different, with different perspectives - and we want to reflect the diversity of the crowd we serve.

We recognise that we don’t all start from the same place - because advantages and barriers exist - but through Crowdfunder and crowdfunding, we believe we can offer greater equality of opportunity.

We’re creating an inclusive workplace culture, based on fairness, respect and honesty, because we believe leveraging differences achieves better results and better serves our crowd, our partners and our communities.

As part of that, we’re committed to educating ourselves, and each other, on gender, race, faith, disability, age, sexual orientation and other areas of diversity to ensure everyone is welcome and feels valued in our workplace as well as in our wider Crowdfunder community.

We recognise that ‘diversity and inclusion’ is not something that we will ever ‘achieve’. It’s not a box that can ever be ticked as ‘100% done’.

Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey of big steps and small nudges that will create a richer community and place to work and help us be a better business.

We’re proud to be on that journey together.
