We play our role by connecting and catalysing community-led change, providing the money, time, tools and connections that build organisations’ capacity and capability, to make people’s lives better and their communities stronger.
We back people and communities across England and Wales, to make that happen, because when you back brilliant people, brilliant things happen.

Location:Remote, with significant travel across all corners the UK and monthly visits to our London office
This is an exciting new opportunity in the Strategic Communications Team at the Foundation.
You’ll play a key role setting up and organising a varied programme of visits, to engage more people in our mission and ultimately help more people in England and Wales to say “I’m in a good place,” “My home is a good place to live,” and “My community is a good place to belong”.

About You
You are highly organised, with experience coordinating events, or visits involving
multiple stakeholders.
Alongside strong communication skills, with an understanding of how to apply
organisational narratives to local activity, you’ll have the ability to balance competing priorities.

You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.
What you’ll do:
-
Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans
-
Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments

Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns
-
Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks

Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach
-
Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.

The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential skills:
-
Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.
-
Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:
-
Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness.
-
Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners.
-
Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action.
-
-
Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.
-
Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications.
-
Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.
-
Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.
Important criteria:
-
Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.
-
Languages: You are fluent in English

Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)
-
Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post.
Nice to have
-
You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before.
-
Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.
-
You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial.
-
Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media
-
Other European languages are an added benefit.
