Brand Communications Manager Jobs in Cricklewood, Greater London
About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people, working side by side with thousands of people each year as they find ways out of homelessness. We know that homelessness is not inevitable; we know that together we can end it.
This year, we will begin our new ten-year strategy to end homelessness. Key to our mission is thinking differently and more ambitiously about how we engage with corporate partners and the commercial sector and how we can generate more support for our cause across England, Scotland, and Wales.
Location: Based in our London office (we are open to a range of flexible working options, in line with Crisis’ Hybrid-Working Policy)
About the role
As we embark on a new ten-year strategy, this is a unique opportunity to lead the development of a radical and ambitious approach to partnerships with businesses, building on the successful partnerships we have with Lloyds Banking Group, Specsavers, Taylor Wimpey, Berkeley Homes and many more.
This pivotal role will lead the development of a corporate and commercial engagement strategy across Crisis, growing and deepening our portfolio of corporate partners, broadening their support for our organisation and our cause, and inspiring them to act within their businesses. The role also involves leading the continued development of our fundraising and partnerships outside of London, creating a national support network to end homelessness.
While the role is directly responsible for strategic and corporate partnerships, the post holder will lead across the charity, ensuring a joined-up approach across retail, service delivery (including Crisis at Christmas), brand partnerships, venture philanthropy, investments, and innovation.
The role also involves membership of the Brand, Marketing & Fundraising senior team and the organisation’s Senior Leadership Group, where it plays an important organisation-wide leadership role. Additional investment has recently been made in the team, and senior leadership and the Board have committed to supporting its success.
About you
We’re seeking someone with significant experience developing relationships with the corporate/commercial sector and a successful track record in organisations comparable in scale and complexity to Crisis.

-
Can think creatively about partnerships, leveraging the unique opportunities that Crisis has.
-
Can develop a national income and engagement strategy appropriate to our work in English regions, Scotland, and Wales.
We believe diversity is a strength, and we aim to ensure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with The Postal Museum, in the recruitment of their new Head of Marketing and Development. The Postal Museum is one of the newest and most exciting museums in London. It opened in 2017 and the museum is already established as a must-visit destination with award-winning experiences and marketing campaigns. Alongside hands-on exhibitions exploring over 500 years of British social and communications history, visitors can experience a subterranean ride through the tunnels of the old Post Office Underground Railway – Mail Rail. The museum welcomes over 160,000 visitors and its online content reaches a million users a year. This position is offered as a permanent, full-time position and will report to the CEO.
As the Head of Marketing & Development, you will be responsible for bringing the brand of The Postal Museum to life in new and innovative ways to reach ambitious admission and visitor targets - across all marketing channels, press and media, and in all communications to engage their varied audiences. Additionally, you will be responsible for driving individual giving and developing corporate support for the museum.This is a strategic leadership role, in which you will be sitting on The Postal Museum’s Executive Management team. You will be responsible for achieving the organisation’s admissions income and visitor number targets and building its profile externally. This role oversees all marketing, PR, digital, internal communication, branding activity and fundraising efforts focussed on individuals and Corporates undertaken across the organisation. This is an exciting time to join the museum, as it begins to plan for two important anniversaries in 2027, 10 years since the museum opened and 100 years since Mail Rail first began operation.
Marketing of the museum is at the heart of the job, and good experience is needed for that function. It is not necessary to have direct experience of managing a development role if you have had experience of working on fundraising campaigns or with fundraising colleagues. The Postal Museum is a young museum with developing practice and so, they are more interested in recruiting someone with the enthusiasm, work ethic and curiosity to develop in their career than someone who knows everything about marketing and development but cannot think beyond that. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience of working at a senior level in a marketing or communications role, together with experience of developing, implementing, and delivering PR, Digital, and Marketing strategies to achieve sales targets. You will have experience delivering successful integrated marketing campaigns with demonstrable ROI, and a proven ability to motivate and lead teams, advise, and influence senior colleagues. You should have experience of building and managing a brand, as well as building and managing relationships with media contacts, partner organisations, stakeholders, and agencies.

- We subscribe to the Bupa employee advice line – free confidential access to financial and legal advisors as well as telephone and online counselling sessions.
- In addition we run training on mental health at work and have named mental health first aiders who can be contacted in confidence if you would like help finding support.
- All staff have the opportunity to join working groups outside of their work areas according to their interests and are encouraged to pursue professional development opportunities.
- Our staff wellbeing team explores how we can improve our staff wellbeing - most recently publishing a comprehensive guide - and reviews what we have done to date.
Anti-oppression
- We offer half a day’s anti-oppression learning leave each year
- As well as making reasonable adjustments, we support our staff in making applications to the Access to Work scheme to get additional equipment where needed.
- We offer disability leave for disabled colleagues to manage specific needs they may have without having to give up their holidays.
- We have a staff working group on anti-oppression which helps to develop our work on anti-oppression and identify gaps in our current work.
Partnerships
- Results UK hosts three other organisations, including IPNEd, working on specific aspects of global health and education, so you benefit from other perspectives and get an in-depth understanding of other work going on in the sector.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
At Results UK, we believe in equality, diversity and inclusion, and that these should be the norm. As well as this being an issue of equality and fairness, we recognise that diverse and inclusive organisations are some of the most productive and impactful.
As an organisation, we are aware of the under-representation of certain groups and communities in the international development sector that are often closest to the issues we work on. These include - but are certainly not limited to - people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, refugees, people with disabilities and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
We want to change this and are committed to playing our part as an organisation. As a committed equal opportunities employer, we actively welcome applications from people of a wide range of backgrounds, skills and abilities, recognising the value that these different perspectives bring to our organisation.
