The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is one of the world s leading botanic gardens and a global centre for biodiversity science, horticulture and education. Our vision is of a positive future for plants, people and the planet. Our team works to raise the funds and public awareness to make this vision a reality, and we are looking for a motivated individual to join us. We are in the midst of our hugely exciting Edinburgh Biomes project, a seven-year initiative to restore our heritage Palm Houses, build new research facilities, and protect the Garden s unique and globally important plant collection for the future. As part of this we are looking to expand our dynamic Individual Giving team. You will work closely with the Head of Individual Giving to develop multi-channel public appeals, utilising print, digital and on-site opportunities. You ll play a key role in writing our stewardship communications, growing a pipeline to further engage donors and members, leading to increased income. Applicants will ideally have previous experience in managing digital campaigns, and the ability to write creative and compelling cases for support. You will need to have excellent relationship building skills, as the role requires collaboration with other teams across the Garden.
