Job description

Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.

Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a mustache-powered crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.

DO GOOD - Work for Movember.

Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):
We are currently looking to recruit a passionate and engaged Campaign Support Team aka Fundraising Operations Assistants to help deliver our annual campaign. This role will be required to work from our Santa Monica office on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday with additional in-office days as needed to support.

We encourage applications from all backgrounds and communities and are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences, and abilities.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Be the voice of Movember, responding to all telephone, email, live chat, and sms inquiries from our community in a fast and effective manner.

  • Process offline donations and gift matching requests efficiently

  • Support on research, outreach, data management and project work as required

  • Identify any patterns or issues with the website and escalate these so they can be addressed

  • Support the Social Media inboxes and fundraising pages

  • Support post-campaign with ‘thank yous’

  • Respond to ad-hoc requests as needed

  • Attend local events, where necessary, to give our fundraisers a remarkable experience, which can include work at evenings and weekends*

  • Support the Operations Team with picking, packing, and mailing Movember Merchandise to our constituents.

  • Support the Movember Marketing Team to identify community fundraisers for potential media opportunities.

  • Effectively manage and steward inbound new business development opportunities.

  • Collaborate with and support the Fundraising Team on key fundraiser or donor opportunities.

No Mustache Required - but the following are:

  • Experience working in a customer service environment.

  • The ability to effectively communicate with all levels of the organisation.

  • Exceptional organization skills and the ability to prioritize.

  • The ability to succeed in a fast-paced environment.

  • Work well under pressure and to deadlines, with excellent attention to detail.

  • Be a good team player; demonstrating adaptability and flexibility.

  • High degree of self-motivation and initiative.

  • Happy working occasional evenings and weekends.

GOOD CAUSE:

Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives
We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.

GOOD VIBES:

We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.
Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.

GOOD CREW:

Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.


We offer:

  • Free Headspace subscription and Employee Assistance Program

  • Relaxed dress code

  • Fun and collaborative culture

  • Free breakfast & coffee bar

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience, and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.
