Giving Day Officer
Education: Ba Geography, University of Exeter
My responsibilities at Buffalo:
As a Giving Day Officer I work closely with client schools and universities to manage their Giving Day campaigns. I advise clients throughout the Giving Day campaign lifecycle, from initial web design and data preparation to crafting engagement strategies, creative challenges, and on-the-day logistics. This ensures every campaign is strategically positioned to maximise institutional fundraising and impact for our clients and their causes.
Why I chose to work for Buffalo:
Working for Buffalo is full of variety. My role provides the opportunity to take real ownership of each project. A bit of creative license really makes the job fun. I was also drawn to working with clients in the not-for-profit sector. Seeing my work go towards raising money for great causes at educational institutions is extremely rewarding, particularly because I benefited from such initiatives myself while in education, leading me to where I am today.
