Poppy Appeal Manager North West of Scotland About The Role

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated individual to join Poppyscotland as a Poppy Appeal Manager for North West Scotland

You will manage relationships with local supporters, partners, and volunteers, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to maximise fundraising efforts and make a lasting impact.

In this role, you’ll build and nurture corporate partnerships, working alongside a passionate team to achieve shared goals. Your relationship‑building skills will ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, from volunteers to corporate partners, while representing Poppyscotland in your local community and engaging with key stakeholders.
