About CharityJob

The CharityJob story began at the turn of the millennium, when our founding directors, Raya and Steve (who between them have 40 years’ experience in the charity sector), realised how difficult it was for charities to recruit the best people.

So CharityJob was born with a single mission – offering charities across the UK a specialist job board to help them connect with the very best the sector has to offer.

Today, 20 years on, we’re so much more than just a job board. We’re a team of 34 people: passionate about our sector, and work hard to make a difference. So far, we’ve helped over 20,000 charities and not-for-profits to find their best people.

But we’ve only just started. Our mission is to help even more people to take their first steps into the sector. And we’re working hard to bring the sector together – building a strong community for each and every one of us, through CharityConnect.

True to our original vision of giving back to the sector, we donate 10% of our profits to charities and not-for-profits. And that’s why we’re proud to be the charity sector’s Champion. Better people. Better charities. Better world.

About the role

This is a key position within Triangle that requires strong liaison across the whole organisation. The post is full time and combines two related and overlapping roles:

• Marketing Manager (around 3 days pw) with responsibility for co-ordinating and driving Triangle’s marketing  activities.  This is a new role for Triangle, with marketing to date shared between different roles and a consultant
• Product Manager (around 2 days pw), with responsibility for managing and coordinating the development of Outcomes Stars and related products and materials. This is to cover work carried out by a staff member who now has other responsibilities within Triangle.

Our decisions about the development of new products are based on a range of factors including our understanding of the market for those products.  Marketing messages and plans draw heavily on our learning from the product development process and can involve working closely with collaborators. The two roles are described separately for clarity although, in practice, many day-to-day activities will relate to both aspects.

This role will report directly to the Managing Director.
