The role - closing Friday 18 February 2022. 

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Services, Advocacy & Evidence team as a Campaigns Officer.

Your main responsibilities will be to support the Campaigns Manager, and the Head of Policy and Campaigns, to ensure our campaigns drive and influence change that improves the lives of people with Crohn’s and Colitis. You’ll work effectively with external agencies, partners and in-house teams to create compelling campaigns like our Award-winning ‘Not Every Disability is Visible’ campaign, support their monitoring, evaluation and suggest improvements.

About you

You’ll be an experienced campaigner, skilled in supporting the development and delivery of effective campaigns UK wide. You’ll be passionate about empowering and mobilising people to effect change. You’ll also have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, being able to build good relationships with all our stakeholders, as well as being enthusiastic, highly motivated, and target focussed.

This is an exciting new role at Green New Deal Rising, a youth climate change movement launched last year where you will have the opportunity to craft our voice and identity, bringing together young people to fight for climate justice. 

We are an ambitious new organisation and we have grown rapidly in the last two years.  Since launching Green New Deal Rising this summer we have recruited thousands of 16-35 year olds and onboarded hundreds into volunteer teams which power our movement.  We’ve challenged Nicola Sturgeon on her record with the Cambo oil field and turned up the heat on the Chancellor, Keir Starmer and loads of other MPs.  We brought over 200 organisers to Glasgow for the COP climate conference and launched the Green New Deal Bill with GND Champions in Parliament.  We’ve gone viral and got into the media and recruited over 250 monthly donors to support us already.

In this role you will have a massive opportunity to shape our work in the years to come as we build our movement of young organisers and get ready for the next General Election.  We know that we need a strong and powerful movement of people who will do whatever it takes to win and that’s why we are serious about growing our work to a level that we can disrupt and change the political system. 

You will work directly with our Executive Director responsible for communications and digital and take a lead on the strategy and delivery of our digital work to recruit and engage organisers and donors whilst having lots of opportunities to help shape this growing organisation.

So if you’re passionate about telling stories and inspiring people to start organising and supporting us financially, you might be Green New Deal Rising’s next digital campaigner and we can’t wait to hear from you!  If this is you, get in touch and we can arrange a chat.

Our partners play an incredible role in tackling breast cancer – from raising awareness of the signs, symptoms and risk factors of breast cancer; awareness of our specialist support services, through to raising funds, so that we can provide support for today, and hope for the future. We make sure that people affected by breast cancer are at the heart of our partnerships – from fronting our commercial international campaigns, to feeding into our partner’s products, training and services, so that they are better placed to support women, and those living with breast cancer.

By joining the team, you will get to work with a collaborative, passionate, ambitious team of award-winning fundraisers. You will have the pleasure of working for a team and charity in growth, that is making a real difference to the lives of men and women across the UK.

You will manage existing strong relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies, spotting opportunities to better support healthcare professionals, patients and securing grants and sponsorship for the charity’s award-winning services.

Dedicated, results-driven and motivated in your approach, you will be a great relationship builder with excellent public speaking and presentation skills.  You will be highly organised with an ability to monitor and prioritise potential opportunities in a fast-paced environment. A natural empathy for women and their families affected by breast cancer is essential. We are also looking for someone confident, with excellent interpersonal skills, who enjoys working with others.

Organise is a fast-growing social enterprise on a mission to give everyone the tools, network and confidence to improve their life at work. Our vision is for a world in which decent, fairly paid work is available and accessible to all, and where all of us are treated with dignity and respect at work.

More than 1 million people are already using Organise. We put power in people’s hands, building a progressive force for change inside companies.

The Organise staff team pride ourselves on nimble, focused workplace campaigns. That means our team is decisive, ambitious and happy to take risks. We’re characterised by our energy and enthusiasm; we’d rather aim high and see what happens, than play it safe. We’re passionate about putting Organise members first – we believe change at work happens when more people get involved.

We're expanding our team and building out our platform to include a peer-to-peer network. We're building a space for people to build power and support each other at work pseudonymously. A space for our core members to talk to each other in a space their boss can't see. Small monthly subscriptions from members will verify their identity. The Organise network is paid for and protected by the workers. We currently operate in the UK, and are aiming to launch in the US in 2022.
 

- What you’ll be doing

You will be building and scaling our member engagement and growth - helping Organise members to take digital actions to improve life at work, at scale. You’ll play a pivotal role working alongside the Membership and Growth Lead in taking our membership from 1 million to 5 million.

You'll be excellent at communicating and collaborating with people across the whole organisation, to imagine, design, and test new content to support our members in this fast-moving workers’ rights landscape.

This is a delivery role, so there’ll be lots of hands on work - this will include:

• Writing + building rapid-response social media posts, emails, and landing pages to drive action

• Running content experiments to bring in new members and hit ambitious targets on the numbers of people taking action + joining Organise each month

• Identifying when organiser campaigns become more relevant as the political landscape changes, and capitalising on those reactive moments to help grow Organise

• Creating (oh hey Canva), testing and analysing digital adverts to bring in new audiences

• Owning our social channels, creating daily content + interacting with the workers’ rights community in our tone of voice

• Community building through interaction, both on our social channels and within our (beta) worker-network space

• Analysing the performance of content, understanding what content helps us hit our targets and how we can improve performance even more

- You should apply if

• What we're building at Organise excites you!

• You love rapid-response digital mobilisation and content generation

• You are a strong communicator, able to write excellent copy to engage and motivate our members and represent Organise

• You have experience building and running experiments (A/B testing, SEO testing), and are able to use quantitative data to identify opportunities, assess the impact of interventions, and make recommendations to improve performance

• You are outcomes oriented, a natural multitasker, comfortable with multiple projects / conversations / shifting goalposts. This is a role where things will constantly change!

• You are up to date with trends and developments in the digital mobilisation and digital marketing space

• You understand the campaign lifecycle; the tactical toolbox available to those who seek to build power and make change; and the barriers faced by workers

• You are able to communicate effectively and work well with a diverse range of technical and non-technical colleagues

• You are open-minded and willing to learn new approaches to your role and our culture

- You'll benefit from:

• Equity in the business

• Wellbeing benefit and access to mental health support through Spill

• Remote working budget

• Learning & development budget + progression support

• Involvement in other aspects of the business, from strategy, management and training, to shaping team culture

• Being part of something that's both commercially successful and socially important

✨ Logistics

• Contract terms: This is a permanent contract. The role is full time. We're also open to job shares!

• Location: Can be remote (within +2/-5 hours of GMT) or hybrid based in our central London office (a dog-friendly office with a lot of plants) and will we provide you with all the tools you need!

• Competitive salary: Our salary formula adjusts to your cost of living and experience. For this role, the UK starting salary is: £38K or 48K GBP and the US starting salary is $61K or $81K USD. We use a transparent salary formula based on your level and location cost of living + you'll get substantial stock options as part of our EMI scheme.

• Benefits: 38 days holiday per year (including Bank Holidays), Flexible working hours, Childcare benefits/vouchers, forward thinking parental leave policy, menstrual and menopause policy, discounted gym membership, time off in lieu policy, team lunches and activities. Please note, these will keep evolving as we continue to grow!

Some highlights from 2021

• Using Organise, Amazon drivers landed national media coverage, including an exclusive BBC Newsnight investigation, exposing their working conditions & calling on Amazon CEO to lower their parcel targets back to a safe level. They’ve also met directly with MPs and got the Amazon CEO grilled in front of Parliament. 40% of drivers have had their targets lowered to a safer level now as a result - a huge win for their collective action.

• Over 100,000 members pressured the government to abandon their plans to scrap the laws protecting paid holidays and rest breaks (working time directive) - including sending tens of thousands of messages directly to the Business Secretary in the 24 hours leading up to the U-turn. Civil servants tell us (off the record) that the department were ‘astonished’ by the level of public backlash to the plans.

• Dan*, a Census worker, started a campaign when he noticed Census temporary workers were being asked to travel to attend their first-day induction without being offered to have their travel expenses covered. In response to thousands of people joining the campaign, ONS has agreed to make sure all temporary workers are reimbursed for their travel expenses. With this and the update to the Census Jobs FAQs page clarifying the expenses policy, Census workers can start their jobs without being out of pocket.

This is a new role, a unique role, a chance to connect businesses with the community and the community with businesses.

It is the intention that this role will develop relationships with local businesses/stakeholders and in the formation of those relationships connect them directly to the Somers Town Job Hub so that we can work with them to recruit locally

Crohn’s & Colitis UK raised over £6 million this year. Our Supporter Engagement Team provides exemplary customer care to every donor, fundraiser, member and supporter, ensuring that they feel valued and are thanked in an innovative, tailored and appropriate way. As we continue to grow our income our customer care processes will become increasingly important. Stewardship of our growing community will be vital to our success as we keep donors, fundraisers and members engaged in our work and motivated to continue to support us.

Your role will be to engage and inspire through the provision of the highest-quality supporter journeys. You will be creative and innovative in delivering tailored stewardship to encourage repeat support and commitment from members of our community. Your supporter engagement activities are integral to achieving our strategic Income Generation priorities, including raising funds from supporters through exceptional standards of customer care, using high quality information, continuous learning and the development of our supporter care services. As a team manager, you will develop and implement excellent internal processes to ensure supporter stewardship and donor management is robust, consistent and of the highest quality.

You will: 

• be a talented, experienced supporter care professional, adept at building strong relationships fast.

• be an experienced manager with the ability to mentor and coach your team.

• have experience of implementing highly impactful stewardship techniques.   

If you like the sound of this position and think you have what we are looking for then it would be great to hear from you.

The future

The charity is at a really exciting point. We are in excellent financial health and moving to a new strategy which will give you the chance to put a personal stamp on the actions we are taking to improve the quality of life for people with Crohn’s and Colitis. 

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

You will be joining us at an exciting time, when there is rising interest in how banks are addressing climate change risks and fostering the transition to a fairer, cleaner and safer world. This is a rapidly evolving field, and we are looking for someone with excellent relationship skills and a passion to make a difference to join our team.

You will be responsible for supporting ShareAction’s banking work with high-quality engagement with banks and other stakeholders (such as investors, NGOs, high-net worth individuals, and policy-makers), and contributing to the raising of standards in the banking industry on climate change and biodiversity.

Key responsibilities: ​

• You will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with the following, ensuring quality records are kept of interactions (meetings, calls and email) through our CRM system:
• Junior and senior contacts at European banks;
• Junior and senior contacts at asset managers and asset owners;
• Experts and partner organisations to advance the aims of ShareAction’s banking programme;
• Other stakeholders including policy-makers, high-net worth individuals, and NGO partners.
• You will expand the network of investors that the banking team actively works with, convincing them to support relevant engagement opportunities;
• You will mobilise and support high-net worth individuals, foundations and higher education endowments engaging with their banks on climate change;
• You will organise meetings with and present the findings of ShareAction’s biannual surveys and leading practice reports to the banks surveyed. See for example the 2020 Banking on Climate Change survey we published in April 2020 and the Leading Practice report we published in September 2021;
• You will present the findings of our research pieces to banks and investors;
• You will represent the team at internal meetings such as our monthly company engagement meeting and ensure smooth coordination with other teams and contributing to team activities, including project management, monitoring and evaluation, and publication of research.
• You will support team activities such as filing shareholder resolutions and drafting AGM questions;
• You will contribute to the development of our survey methodologies, which will be led by the Financial Sector Research team & members of the Banking Standards team. On an occasional basis, contribute to other pieces of research related to the banking programme;
• You will organise events aimed at presenting our research reports to banks and other important stakeholders, together with others in the team, as well as represent ShareAction in appropriate external forums to amplify impact.

Please note that this list is not exhaustive and the role might change slightly from time to time.

• Good presentation skills and confidence speaking to large audiences;
• Great team player, who is happy to take advice and direction from colleagues working in other work programmes, such as supporter network/grassroots organising;

ShareAction and the global system of finance

It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

Established in 2016, the Workforce Disclosure Initiative (WDI)’s ambition is to transform the quantity and quality of available data on the workforce practices of the world’s largest public companies. It is built around an annual survey of companies (1,000 companies received the WDI questionnaire this year). The data is analysed by WDI and shared with signatory investors. WDI facilitates engagement between investors and companies to drive disclosure and improved performance.

WDI’s ultimate purpose is to improve the lives of working people across the world.

The Investor Engagement Manager will be responsible for recruiting, engaging and retaining institutional investors as WDI signatories.

Key responsibilities:

• You will recruit new institutional investors to join WDI as signatories;

• You will manage relationships with existing investor signatories to ensure programme is meeting investors’ needs and expectations;
• You support investor signatories to participate fully in the WDI’s annual work programme, including helping drive company responses to the annual survey, speaking at WDI-hosted events and webinars, promoting WDI in external media, and ensuring the content of the annual survey aligns with investor priorities;
• You will establish, maintain and expand a network of relationships with institutional investors, particularly those with a focus on workforce and related “social” issues;
• You will represent the WDI and its thought leadership in appropriate external forums, particularly those attended by responsible investors;
• You will work with the WDI team and external partners to write articles, reports, blogs and other publications which draw on or relate to WDI’s survey findings, and contribute to and participating in, WDI webinars aimed at educating and informing investors and companies on key workforce-related topics;

• You will contribute to WDI team activities including project management, monitoring and evaluation.

Please note this list is not exhaustive. The role will involve frequent collaboration and ‘pitching in’ alongside a small team, and the role may evolve as the programme evolves and expands.

Requirements

Essential

• Have a good understanding of responsible investment and corporate governance;
