Marketing & Fundraising Executive

What you'll bring to the team

Do you want to change the world for whales?

After years spent performing in tanks, our beluga whales, Little Grey and Little White, now live in our sanctuary, learning how to be whales again. It's an incredible story, and we need someone who can tell it well; to visitors, donors, tourism partners, and everyone who's never heard of us yet. We're looking for a Marketing & Fundraising Executive who cares as much about that mission and wants to share it with the world.

You'll lead local marketing and communications, from social media and the website to email newsletters and PR, working closely with our Global Marketing team to keep the sanctuary's story reaching new audiences. You'll also help grow charitable income through donor communications and fundraising campaigns, build relationships with tourism operators and local partners, and manage visitor bookings and enquiries so every guest's experience starts on the right note.

This is a hands-on, creative role with real reach. You'll have the chance to shape how people around the world learns about Little Grey and Little White.
