Job Description

Job Title: Content Manager, Editor and Mobile Developer

Duration: Full Time 40 hours/week

Location: Both home-based and in Surrey

Direct Line Manager and Accountability: CEO/Founder

Salary: £27,500-£32,500 per annum dependent on experience

The Content Manager, Editor and Mobile Developer is a key member of Thrive, with responsibility for managing content creation for Thrive and also helping to ensure the Thrive app works effectively, as it is brought through the pilot phase and into the hands of the public.

About Us

Thrive is a soon-to-be launched, hugely ambitious charity tackling homelessness in the United Kingdom. Through an innovative, technological approach that harnesses and reifies people’s generosity, we aim to end homelessness in the UK by 2025.

Our app will allow people to give to specific homeless people, whether from home or on the street, in a way that their donations can only be used for food, housing, mental health care and other necessities in shops and hostels Thrive partners with. Not only will this encourage greater giving, it will also give those who are homeless a safe way to get off of the street and regain the normal life and dignity we all deserve. Thrive will aid the provision of this safe pathway back to normal life through being an organisational force that allows local charities and government bodies to work together effectively, so that those who are homeless receive the right support every step of the way. In the future, Thrive is also looking to create its own economically sustainable, scalable holistic shelters, truly changing the way in which people that are homeless are treated within the systems of help.

Thrive will start pursuing this vision through piloting the app in London. From there we will then launch the app nationwide and end homelessness in the UK by 2025. Once this has proven that our model works, we will then look to other countries and seek to do the same in as many countries as possible.

Job Requirements

• Produce and edit videos to promote Thrive to the public, with an emphasis on creativity and effective storytelling.

• Help to ensure the Thrive app is technologically sound and functions well ready for its launch.

• Work with the marketing team to spread Thrive’s message and gain support for Thrive.

• Be passionate about Thrive’s vision and goals.

Experience

• At least a few years experience in professional content creation.

Required Skills, Knowledge and Characteristics

• Highly skilled editing and content creation, with the ability to prove this through an impressive showreel.

• Detailed knowledge of developing and ensuring the functionality of mobile apps.

• Other technological skills such as videography, website design or sound engineering would be valued.

• Ability to perform with a large degree of independence and responsibility.

• Effective communication, both with team and potential partners for Thrive UK.

• High level of professionalism.

• Highly developed teamwork skills.

• Diligence and productivity.

• Effective content design and coordination, both written and visual.

• Strong commitment to charity and Thrive’s values and goals.

• Desire to be working on an innovative, exciting project.

Digital Strategist — Contractor

Duration: 3 months with strong possibility of extension. 

Start date: ASAP. 

Location: flexible, with potential travel to London required occasionally. 

Compensation: £140-£150 per day

About Bite Back 2030 

Be part of the creative and agile team behind Bite Back 2030’s exceptional teenage activists. Join us as a Digital Strategist and contribute to a 10-year journey to help make the food system healthier and fairer and achieve our goal of halving childhood obesity by 2030.

Young people today are up against a flood of unhealthy food, pouring out of our highstreets, supermarkets and school canteens. As a result processed foods, snacks, soft drinks and takeaways are playing too big a role in their lives. Junk food is cheap and easy to access at a time when 3.3 million young people under the age of 18 have overweight or obesity. Rates among our poorest are double those of our wealthiest young people.

Covid-19 has only further served to highlight the injustices in the food system and sharpen the focus on the impact obesity has on health outcomes. There is a political moment now to accelerate change.

We believe young people are the key voice in driving this change in our food system.  It is a really exciting time to join the organisation — we are still a start-up but with ambitious plans for growth and impact. We are planning to grow a digital movement of 100,000+ people by 2023 to raise their voice and drive impact on local and national campaigns, in support of incredible young campaigners like Christina and Dev who head up our movement. 

About the Role

We are seeking a creative, experienced Digital Strategist on a three-month contract to lead an exciting new step in our mission to grow a movement of 100,000+ people raising their voice for child health in the UK. This role will bring creativity and innovation to developing and executing digital mobilisation strategies, aiming to grow the number of young people subscribed to our mailing list, and engaged in our campaigns.

This role will kick-start a new focus on growing Bite Back 2030’s digital youth movement, leading paid social media strategies, digital content development, email strategies, and mobilisation on a brand new campaign to improve school food in the UK. 

It is being advertised as a three month contract, with strong possibility of extension into a full-time, permanent role at Bite Back 2030. We are committed to increasing the diversity of our team and especially encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. 

Deliverables: 

• Oversee execution of Bite Back 2030 email strategy including: 

  • Planning email calendar for May - July 2021 to ensure our youth audience is educated, engaged, and mobilised around our brand and campaigns with a weekly email (minimum) to this effect.

  • Coordinate with our Youth Board to collate their input on the content, tone and message of email communications. 

  • Copy-editing, building and sending emails, with a minimum of one per week sent to each supporter. 

  • Designing and implementing strategic A/B tests on each email, to ensure emails are achieving high open and click-through rates. 

  • Data analysis to monitor performance of email campaigns, with monthly data reports delivered to the Head of Mobilisation. This should include tracking the topics, messaging, and campaign actions that perform best and reporting back to the campaigns and communications team to propose new approaches accordingly. 

• Build a wishlist of 50+ digital influencers and platforms with large Gen Z audiences for Bite Back 2030 to partner with, building relationships and collaborations with 5+ over the duration of the contract to share Bite Back 2030 campaigns, actions, and content to elevate the voices of young campaigners. 

• Develop and execute strategy to mobilise the British public to participate in a campaign to improve school food nationwide. This includes: 

  • Driving 10,000+ young people to take a survey detailing their experiences of school food, and take action in their schools.

    • Working in close collaboration with the campaigns team to copy-write and build the survey. 

    • Build and execute strategy for competition to incentivize young people to complete the survey. 

  • Driving an adult voter audience to take actions (e.g. signing petitions, emailing their MP etc) pressuring the UK Government to make national policy change to improve school food. 

    • Copy-writing and building political campaign actions (e.g. petitions, emails to MPs, etc). 

  • Lead digital promotional strategy for the above — including: 

    • Lead production of digital content to promote the survey and other campaign actions — including graphics, video content, and ‘how-to’ guides to encourage offline actions in schools. 

    • Design and execute paid social media strategy, driving engagement and conversions on the survey and other campaign actions. 

    • Outreach to influencers and youth organisations / social media profiles, particularly those with a large Gen Z audience. 

    • Overseeing email calendar and supporter journey — calendaring, A/B testing, copy-editing and completing data analysis on results.

• Work closely with Bite Back 2030 young leaders and the campaigns team to design and promote creative digital actions for young people to take to influence government and business to improve child health. This might include petitions, emails or tweets, meeting with MPs, rallying friends to join the movement, or telling their personal stories through traditional and social media.

• Support the management of Bite Back 2030’s website as required. This may include writing and uploading content, data analytics, and SEO. 

• The role may include other responsibilities as required.
