3.

From Bernie Sanders to Greenpeace UK, progressive organisations are using digital mobilisation to activate hundreds of thousands of campaigners and raise millions of pounds online. Forward Action believes that a digital mobilisation model - where organisations use digital channels to drive hundreds of thousands of supporters to take advocacy, fundraising and volunteering actions - can revolutionize campaigning and fundraising in the NGO sector. However, its potential is still largely untapped in the UK. We help progressive organisations build digital mobilisation programmes and, as our Marketing and Partnerships Officer, you will work to help grow the number of organisations using a digital mobilisation model to drive real-world change.

You will manage our online marketing programme, working to keep establishing Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation and finding ways to share learnings from our innovations for the rest of the sector to benefit from. You’ll run the day-to-day operations of our partnerships programme, acting as the primary point of contact for prospective partners and delivering the administrative and coordination work needed to move organisations smoothly through from first interaction to a productive partnership. And finally, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in relationship building, supporting our Partnerships Director to build stakeholder buy-in on projects.

If you’re passionate about digital marketing, enjoy building relationships, are well organised and would be excited to help spread digital mobilisation across the charity sector, this job is for you.

This is a permanent role, with the freedom to work both in our London office and remotely from home, although during lockdown you will, of course, only work from home. Once lockdown is fully lifted, it’s likely you will need to be able to travel to meetings in London once or twice a week. You can work either four or five days a week. Applications close Sunday 2 August.

Who we are

Forward Action is a digital mobilisation agency for progressive causes. We help our partner organisations reach new supporters, then mobilise them to become activists and donors. We have been in the engine room of some of the most successful election and charity digital campaigns of the last few years, helping our partners add millions of new supporters to their email lists, raise more money online (from more donors) and create campaigns that have led to real-world change.

Our values are critical to us: we will only work with causes that make the world a better place. You will get to work with some of the most inspiring and impactful organisations in the sector - such as Greenpeace, Cancer Research UK, and Amnesty International - and spend your days helping win progress on everything from climate change to homelessness.

You will be working at the cutting edge of digital mobilisation. We trust in data rather than our gut instincts, so we are constantly testing and iterating in our work in order to challenge assumptions and drive better results. We are an agile, fast-moving team, and you will have the opportunity to rapidly develop and expand your skills and experience. 

One of our fundamental values is that all our work should drive real-world, measurable results. But we also believe that the greatest progressive impact we can have is to give our partner organisations the skills, knowledge and culture they need to do what we do themselves. We want to spread our skills and way of working across the progressive sector, not make our partners dependent on us. You will play a key role in this in your job.

What you’ll do as part of our team

• Manage our marketing and thought leadership work

  • Identify and apply for opportunities for Forward Action to speak at conferences and events, and occasionally speak at them yourself (if this is something you’d like to do)

  • Oversee our content calendar for our blogs and social media channels, and commission other team members to write content that shares our learnings and further establishes Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation

  • Launch and run our email programme to share results and learnings from our work

  • Organise occasional evening drinks, coffee meetings and other social events with partners (and attend them yourself)

• Run the day-to-day operation of our partnerships programme

  • Be the primary point of contact for prospective partners over email, from their first interaction with us through to the point we start work together

  • Identify and organise opportunities for our partnerships team to share advice and learnings with both current and prospective partners

  • Run our project setup process, ensuring we’re completing all the administrative setup work needed for each new project

  • Run our invoicing process, using our bookkeeping system to send out invoices for each completed project

  • Assist with quoting and, occasionally, proposal writing for smaller projects

• Develop your skills in building relationships with partners

  • Join calls with our Partnerships Director and new prospective partners to discuss how Forward Action can help them hit their goals

  • As a development opportunity in the role, you will act as the partnership owner on occasional projects, building relationships with partner stakeholders and helping our team break through process challenges or blockages during projects.

Benefits and working culture

Pro Rata Salary: £31,431 if you live inside London, £28,063 (plus £3,000 travel expense allowance) if you live outside London. We have a generous pay increase system, so every year your salary will increase in line with inflation, and if you hit your professional development goals you will also move up a pay grade. If you move up a pay grade your pay will increase by £1,123 - £1,258 pro rata depending on whether you live outside London or in London.

Contract Term: This is a permanent contract. The role can be either full time or four days a week.

Location: At home during lockdown; post-lockdown, in our Hoxton office, with the option to work remotely. Ensuring our team is open to people who live outside London and enabling staff to work flexibly are important values to us, so you’ll have the freedom to work from home regularly. Many of our meetings are held via video conferencing, but post-lockdown you will need to attend meetings with clients in London fairly regularly - once or twice a week on average.

Holiday: 25 days/year (pro rata), plus bank holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year.

Extra holiday for travelling sustainably: We’re a member of the Climate Perks scheme, so you’ll have an extra two days of holiday a year if you use them to travel by land or sea instead of taking a flight.

Maternity and Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave: For a small organisation, we’re proud to have a generous and progressive parental leave policy. Maternity leave is 12 weeks at full pay, 14 weeks at 50% pay. Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave is 6 weeks at full pay.

Working culture and hours: Our team is open, inclusive, friendly, respectful and kind. People from communities that traditionally experience discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity or immigration status; women; new parents; people with disabilities; and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply.

We work eight hour days (including a 30 minute lunch break), with core hours of 9:30am-4:30pm. We put a lot of importance on ensuring everyone finishes on time: while there are some times when you’ll need to stay a little later to finish work, people in the team rarely work more than 45-60 minutes late. No one ever works on weekends or their holidays.

The main purpose of the role is to work with the Training & Service Design team to develop products and package up our offer in ways that meet the needs of a range of potential commissioners including local authorities, CCGs, the NHS, schools, community based organisations and corporates. The role will build relationships with existing and potential commissioners so that YoungMinds is best placed to secure ongoing multi-year grants and contracts.

The full job description is available below. 

Tax Justice UK was incubated by the Tax Justice Network and launched as an independent organisation in 2017. Our work is supported by technical advisors, with backgrounds in law, academia and campaigns.

Due to limited resources, we will sadly be unable to get in touch with candidates who don't make the shortlist.

Lead our work helping education organisations to evaluate their impact, learn from it, and prioritise what is working best to improve outcomes for children and young people

The organisation

ImpactEd is an award-winning social enterprise that exists to help evaluate, understand and improve impact in education.

In our education system, we invest huge amounts of time, money and energy in different programmes and interventions to improve outcomes for pupils. Yet far too often, we don’t know what is working – and what isn’t. We exist to address this evaluation deficit, helping schools and those working with them to better understand what is working to make a difference to the lives of young people. We do this through a combination of hands-on partnership, training and consultancy, and our digital platform which makes monitoring and evaluation quicker, easier and more effective.

Since being founded in 2017, we have grown rapidly. In 2018, we won the Teach First Innovation Award; in 2019, our work was profiled by the Department for Education and we were finalists in the Education Resources Awards. As of 2020, we reach over 60,000 young people and have launched a new partnership with Big Change to support our vision to achieve system-wide change. We are a small, dedicated and growing team committed to maximising social impact: a mix of former teachers, academic researchers and software developers, our work is overseen by a Board with significant experience of social entrepreneurship, third sector leadership and educational improvement.

The opportunity

We work with both schools and other education organisations such as charities and universities (our ‘impact partners’). This role is a newly created leadership position to drive our work supporting impact partners such as CoachBright, Jamie's Farm and SOAS to assess and improve their effectiveness. The Head of Impact Partnerships will define, deliver and refine the strategy for these collaborations: managing partnerships first-hand, leading sales and business development, and ultimately ensuring that this work contributes to directly improving the life chances of young people. 

The role involves a mix of hands-on partnership management and leadership responsibilities. For example, you might work on projects such as supporting Oak National Academy to develop their evaluation strategy while delivering over 13 million online lessons during lockdown, or helping Yes Futures to assess the impact of their new approach to supporting young people’s personal development and wellbeing. At the same time, you will have overall strategic responsibility for this area of work, and contribute to organisational direction as part of our leadership team. You will lead business development and, as our partnerships continue to grow, we would be looking for you to build and train a team.

We are looking for a broad skillset to support this ambitious brief. We are open to a range of backgrounds, but real advantages would be: experience and insight into research and evaluation, especially within the UK school system; partnership management expertise; familiarity with leading people and strategy; and an entrepreneurial streak including business development experience. You would be joining a dynamic social enterprise with opportunities for significant development and progression in line with organisational growth.   

We welcome both full-time and part-time candidates: we expect that a minimum commitment of around four days per week is likely, but are happy to discuss how we might fit your working pattern. We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates, whether by gender, ethnic group, sexual orientation or other characteristics.

To find out more about the role and the organisation, see the full job pack at tiny.cc/HIP. The application deadline is Monday 27th July at 9am. 

We are looking for a strategically minded senior account manager to cover a 12 month maternity contract for  a large national charity. The purpose of the role will be to continue to account manage a big brand - a flagship partnership for the charity so this is a pivotal position. 

The successful candidate is likely to bring a proven track record in corporate fundraising and account management specifically. 

Your remit will be to act as the dedicated Account Manager to this corporate partner, ensuring outstanding relationship management with a continued focus on growth and development of partnership programmes.

This is  a varied role and would suit someone who is creative, brave, who can sniff out and sell a variety of fundraising products or opportunities and engagement ideas to encourage staff fundraising. You will also be professional, organised and utterly customer focused as  your remit will also include  working with the whole supply chain; from employees to MDs within the partnerships and at all levels within the charity. 

The one element we can confirm with certainty is that no two weeks will be the same.

If you believe  you can make a positive contribution and account manage a seven figure partnership at the highest level then we would like to hear from you.

Applications are in the format and CV and a one page Supporting Statement.

Given the current crisis we are experiencing a high volume of applications for the active searches we are managing at the moment. We regret that it is impossible to provide a detailed individual response to each application received. If you do not hear from us within 7 days of the advertised closing date, please assume that your application is not being taken forward to the selection stage.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.

We are recruiting for a Philanthropy Manager to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our inspirational supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.

As Philanthropy Manager, you will lead on launching and growing our new philanthropy Giving Club. We are working with an excellent consultant now to design this new offer and the new post holder will take over the reins to establish this exciting new supporter journey. We have a well-established and loyal supporter audience already giving at this level and we want to provide them with an exceptional supporter experience, whilst also providing the engine room to grow our partnerships and philanthropy networks.

The philanthropy team have already grown income by 124% in recent years with a number of new team members in place, so now is a brilliant time to join now that we have clear plans in place for further growth, a great energy in the team and an incredibly urgent cause.

About you
To be successful in this role you will have

• Some experience of philanthropy fundraising, building strong relationships and securing gifts of 4 to 5 figures
• A natural flair for relationships and the ability to work equally well with a wide range of people
• Excellent communication skills, written, verbal and listening
• Knowledge of planning, monitoring and evaluating success in fundraising
• You will be a team player, with a flexible approach and the ability to collaborate well with others

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days

Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your on-going development to build your skills, experience and career.
