About Amnesty International
Amnesty International is one of the world’s leading human rights organisations, with over 10 million supporters worldwide. Our mission is to document and take action to prevent serious human rights violations. As an independent organisation, membership and supporter income is essential to funding our global human rights work.
The Role
We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate Digital Acquisition Lead to help us grow, connect and engage our movement through paid digital marketing. Your primary goal will be to acquire new supporters, members and donors, and to grow sustainable fundraising income that enables Amnesty International to deliver meaningful human rights impact.
This is a fundraising role at its core: success will be measured by supporter and income growth, not just campaign delivery. You will be responsible for implementing and optimising paid media campaigns targeting Amnesty International’s key growth markets, ensuring all digital acquisition activity is tested, tracked and reported effectively. You will work closely with the Director of Fundraising and collaborate with Amnesty International’s HQ team, who provide light-tough centralised support across digital tools, campaign frameworks and best practice guidance.
Main Responsibilities
- Digital supporter and donor acquisition: implement digital user journeys that deliver cost-efficient membership, supporter and donation acquisition across Meta, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Google Search and Display, and other relevant channels in line with agreed income and supporter growth targets.
- Digital fundraising: devise and implement digital fundraising user journeys – including appeals, campaigns and regular giving asks – that result in cost-efficient donations and long-term donor value.
- Fundraising planning and strategy: play a lead role in shaping Amnesty International Ireland’s digital fundraising strategy, working closely with the Director of Fundraising to set targets, forecast income and prioritise investment across channels.
- Creative testing and reporting: ensure creative propositions are pre-tested and tracked, with results presented and shared across the wider movement.
- Influencer recruitment: use social insight tools to identify and engage top-tier social influencers who can support Amnesty International’s growth efforts.
- Analytics and reporting: collate and report on web, social listening and CRM KPIs, including fundraising performance metrics (cost per acquisition, donor value, retention), to track performance and inform decision-making.
- Email marketing: implement welcome email journeys for all significant supporter acquisition campaigns.
- Website and platform management: manage online fundraising platforms (e.g. iDonate, JustGiving, Enthuse) for donation pages and campaigns, and maintain Amnesty International Ireland’s website, ensuring supporter and donation data flows accurately into the CRM.
- Review and optimisation: periodically review digital fundraising, marketing and engagement activity and produce clear recommendations for improvement, supporting the implementation of agreed changes.
- Advice and support: provide tactical digital advice to colleagues and digital partners on supporter acquisition tools and techniques.
- Market awareness: stay current with digital marketing trends, and identify innovative ways to evolve our acquisition and income-generation practices.
- Campaign contribution: contribute to marketing and communications plans that promote our human rights work and fundraising campaigns.
- Any other duties as required by Amnesty International Ireland.
About You – Essential
- Proven track record of raising income through digital fundraising or donor acquisition campaigns, ideally within a membership, NGO, charity or non-profit environment.
- Proven experience developing, implementing and optimising digital supporter, donor or customer acquisition campaigns, specifically using paid media on Meta, LinkedIn and Google Ads.
- Experience using online fundraising platforms (e.g. iDonate, JustGiving, Enthuse) to manage donation pages and campaigns, and working with website data integration into CRM systems.
- Strong knowledge of email marketing platforms and welcome/donor journey best practices.
- Experience with conversion funnel optimisation and A/B or multivariate testing (Google Analytics, Optimizely, VWO or similar).
- Ability to analyse and report on web and social analytics, drawing actionable insight around conversion, donor behaviour and fundraising performance.
- Excellent written and verbal English, with the ability to write clearly and concisely for multiple digital audiences and high standards of accuracy.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills across a diverse range of stakeholders including designers, developers and data analysts.
- Flexible, organised and able to prioritise a varied workload.
Desirable
- Experience managing paid media or acquisition budgets, including forecasting spend and return on investment.
- Existing interest in or commitment to human rights principles.
