About Global Citizen

We are an advocacy organisation dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2030. We do this by encouraging people to learn and take action on our platform; those actions apply pressure on world leaders to make commitments around the issues associated with extreme poverty.

We don't ask people for money, but to take action. These actions range from sending a tweet, signing a petition, to sending an email, making a phone call, and more.

By taking action, Global Citizens are rewarded with access and tickets to our music festivals and other events around the world. So far, more than 23 million actions have been taken by Global Citizens, leading to USD $48.4 billion in commitments being made by world leaders, which have already affected more than 880 million lives.

Why Work for Global Citizen:

We are a friendly, kind, fun-loving and inclusive team with lots of socialising and snacks!

We are a young, dynamic and fast paced organisation with plenty of opportunities to learn about and get involved with all aspects of Global Citizen. We offer occasional opportunities for international travel to support on our global events and campaigns.

We encourage employees to get involved with social justice causes they feel passionate about, and offer two paid days of ‘volunteer leave’ per annum to allow this.

We support and encourage employees to claim time off in lieu for any overtime worked: we all need rest and relaxation and if you work long hours to meet a particular deadline, this will be recognised with appropriate time off at the end of the project.

We believe in equal opportunities for all and will review all applicants for this role as such. We encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.

Job Description:

Global Citizen believes we can end extreme poverty by 2030 — and that this change will be achieved by building a movement of people, raising their voices to demand change.

The Senior Digital Campaigns Manager will be responsible for leading and implementing digital campaigns to help end extreme poverty, overseeing our public mobilisation in the European market, and designing strategies focused on driving engagement in support of nutrition and agriculture, and the protection of the UK’s international aid budget.

In addition, it will oversee the work of digital campaigners focused on mobilisation in other key European markets, including Germany.

The Senior Digital Campaigns Manager will also lead our global digital campaigns focused on nutrition and agriculture, mobilising citizens around the world to pressure donor governments to step up in 2020 with new financial commitments. This includes developing campaign actions, and email and social media marketing strategies to ensure our movement of Global Citizens are actively engaged in these key policy and campaign areas — and raising their voices to create change. The Senior Digital Campaigns Manager will work in close collaboration with the policy, partnerships, marketing, product, rewards, content, and country teams to achieve this.

  • Support UK fundraising efforts by providing digital campaigns expertise to grant funding proposals, reporting and paid campaign partnership proposals.

Job Description

A pro-active, experienced and thoughtful Communications Manager, ideally with a background in the social sciences, is needed for the Academy of Social Sciences and its Campaign for Social Science. This position offers a great opportunity to develop our communications activities, reach and impact at a time when the Academy will be implementing a new strategy, reshaping its profile, and growing the presence of its Campaign.

The main focus of the role is to help develop and to implement a pro-active communications strategy that furthers the Academy’s work of ‘promoting the social sciences in the UK for public benefit’ and, in doing so, also raises the profile of the organisation. The priorities for our work will be set out in the forthcoming strategy, and will provide a framework for the communications developments. A secondary focus is to enhance communications with key internal stakeholders, including our Fellows and Member Learned Societies. Much of the work will relate to our Campaign for Social Science. This is the means by which the Academy advocates publicly for the social sciences, and their contributions to evidence-led policy and to research on the Grand Challenges.

Communications lie at the heart of our work. As the sole professional responsible, you will report to the Chief Executive and work closely with her, the Campaign Chair, the Head of Policy and the Campaign Manager. You will bring substantial communications experience, the ability to communicate social science effectively to both professional and public audiences, and excellent relationship building skills. You will be adept at identifying, researching, writing and disseminating great stories that demonstrate the essential contributions of social science to the big issues of our time. You will be able to manage the day to day comms platforms as well as more strategic developments.

This is a fixed term (maternity replacement) position, to be appointed until Monday 30 November 2020; with the possibility of extension until Sunday 31 January 2021 subject to decisions over the length of maternity leave.

The Academy of Social Sciences is the national academy of academics, practitioners and learned societies in the social sciences. We are a charity. We have an elected Fellowship of some 1,400 individuals, nominated for their leading expertise and contributions to the wider world of social science, and 45 member learned societies.
