Your role will be to support our Creative Design Manager in delivering marketing and communication campaigns as well as supporting our landmark campaigns of National Numeracy Day and Number Confidence Week.

We're looking for a talented storyteller with a sharp eye for detail and the ability to create content that unites, empowers and engages audiences. Someone who can bring stories to life through compelling content, visual storytelling and authentic human voices.

We are looking for a creative and curious individual who is interested in people, able to spot powerful stories and transform them into engaging content that creates an emotional connection with audiences.

You'll be able to demonstrate experience of delivering consistent, high-quality content across a range of channels and formats, including video, graphics and digital content. You will play a key role in bringing the voices of National Numeracy's beneficiaries to life by sharing their stories, insights and experiences across our communications channels.

Low numeracy affects millions of people and is often accompanied by feelings of embarrassment or shame. As a result, many people are reluctant to talk about it. We also know that when people hear the word "maths", they can quickly disengage. That's why creative storytelling is so important to our work.

National Numeracy is about far more than maths. We help people build confidence, unlock opportunities and improve their lives through stronger numeracy skills. Numeracy influences every aspect of daily life, from employment and financial wellbeing to health and confidence. Through real-life stories and creative content, we help people understand that impact and inspire them to take positive action.

We're looking for someone who can uncover and tell those stories in fresh, imaginative and engaging ways. If you're passionate about creating content that resonates with people and want to use your creativity to make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

We offer more than just a career, we offer the opportunity to support our global movement in a dynamic and inclusive environment with a real focus on personal development.

The Acquisition Marketing Manager attracts new UK supporters and generates income for Mary’s Meals’ school meals programme through effective and inspiring marketing across online and offline channels. This is a fast paced and hands on role for someone who loves to collaborate, problem solve and drive growth while keeping focused on our mission to feed hungry children. 

The role primarily raises income (but also awareness) through multi-channel marketing activity with a clear focus on maximising ROI and delivering supporter growth at scale. The focus of the role is on online marketing opportunities and includes managing our organic and paid social channels, overseeing social media influencer strategy and identifying emerging digital channels. The Manager works closely with the Mary’s Meals International team and its agency to deliver Google and Bing Paid Search, Google Grant, Display, and YouTube.

The role will also identify and manage the most effective offline marketing opportunities to maximise ROI from small budgets and pro bono opportunities, such as TV, Radio and OOH advertising. The Manager will ensure online and offline marketing opportunities complement each other (and link seamlessly to our retention strategies) as part of an integrated multi-channel marketing strategy.

Keeping our values led approach at the central focus is essential as is harnessing technology and good fundraising practice. We believe that how we do things is just as important as the end results.

The Acquisition Marketing Manager works side-by-side with colleagues from across the Supporter Experience and Communications directorate, ensuring a joined-up approach to all communications activities, through the integration of strong storytelling, marketing expertise and supporter engagement. The role has line management responsibility for the Acquisition Marketing Officer.

The Public Interest News Foundation (PINF) is the UK’s first charity that exists to promote high-quality journalism. Last year, we launched an ambitious ten-year mission to regenerate local news in the UK.

We are pursuing our mission by (1) sourcing new funds for local news; (2) advocating for supportive government policies; and (3) celebrating local news providers from the UK and around the world that are Accountable, Sustainable, in the Public interest, Innovative, Representative and Engaging (ASPIRE).

Over the last year, we have successfully encouraged the UK Government to launch an unprecedented new £12m Local News Fund. We have also built support for our mission from US and UK donors.
