Job Purpose
Are you a brilliant storyteller who can write engaging and inspiring content that gets people talking, sharing and giving?
World Vision is looking for an experienced and creative individual to join us as our Editorial Content Manager. Playing a vital role in our brand marketing team, you’ll be responsible for developing and producing stand out editorial content for a variety of audiences and communication channels. You’ll put the audience at the forefront of everything you create, delivering stories that inspire, build trust and provoke action. And you will manage the delivery of a flexible and efficient copywriting service for the wider Public Engagement team.
Building our brand will be an important part of your role and you’ll help develop the organisation's tone of voice and brand narrative, ensuring both are implemented consistently across our communications. You’ll also turn brilliant ideas into compelling written content that’s relevant and useful to our audiences, engaging them in the breadth of our work and impact, and building trust in what we do.
You will be a gifted writer with outstanding editing skills, an understanding of SEO, and a clear sense of how a story can be brought to life across different formats, particularly digital. You’ll have experience of managing briefs from initial concepts right through to finished content. And you’ll be a brilliant collaborator who’s able to work with teams across the organisation.
As an active Christian, this role offers you the opportunity to integrate your Christian faith and be sensitive to its various expressions across cultures and denominations.
In addition to the salary offered, we offer good benefits including pension, generous holiday entitlement and free parking.
