We are seeking a purpose-driven and analytical Campaign Manager to look after the day-to-day running of our flagship perception change campaign This is Engineering, and in doing so to help us tackle the longstanding skills and diversity shortfall in engineering by attracting more young people, from all backgrounds, into the profession.

This is Engineering is a long-term marketing campaign, launched in 2018, that has already had a measurable impact on young people; at its most successful it has increased teens’ likelihood to consider a career in engineering by 85%. A finalist in Third Sector’s Communications Campaign of the Year, This is Engineering is recognised as a genuinely pioneering campaign in the profession and has drawn widespread support from organisations including Rolls-Royce, Amazon, and Google. 

The role

As Campaign Manager, you will use your digital marketing expertise to manage the This is Engineering digital marketing campaign day to day. With the experience of working with, or in, marketing agencies, you will work closely with our creative and media buying agencies to shape campaign content, build effective channel strategies and evolve the campaign season on season. With support from the Community Engagement Officer, you will also help develop and coordinate content for the campaign’s owned digital channels, including the campaign website, making sure that owned and paid activity is complementary and works together to advance campaign aims.

You will also manage the monitoring and evaluation of the campaign, taking a forensic approach to capturing key insights and learnings and making sure these are embedded in ongoing campaign development. You will constantly be on the lookout for insights into our target audiences that will help us better engage them, and be curious about new approaches and examples of best practice that could improve This is Engineering’s effectiveness. Drawing on your deep knowledge of campaign data, you will work with the Academy’s fundraising team to present the progress of the campaign and shape a compelling story about its success that will engage new partners and funders.

Working alongside the Academy’s Media and Digital Communications teams, you will also support the delivery of National Engineering Day, a national awareness day spun out of This is Engineering to celebrate the impact that engineers have on our lives and broaden public perceptions of engineering. Now in its fourth year, National Engineering Day (formerly known as This is Engineering Day) has consistently mobilised engineers, engineering organisations and influencers across social media to spread the word about engineering, and gained widespread media coverage across broadcast, print and online titles.

Who are we looking for?

You will be a digital marketing manager with deep knowledge of different digital and social media channels, predictors of success on those channels, and of best practice in the evaluation of digital marketing. Experience in managing campaigns that have engaged teenagers would be a bonus. You will have excellent written and oral communications skills, strong analytical capabilities, and a flair for project management. You will love getting to know your target audiences and will be passionate about helping young people shape their futures, and about the opportunities, engineering can offer them. You will also be a team player and natural collaborator, comfortable working with a wide range of colleagues from different disciplines within and beyond communications, and at different levels of seniority. 

Who are we?

This role will primarily focus on curbing the abuse of corporate power in Germany, German-speaking countries/regions, and at the EU level and will report to our campaign director in Europe. Our members power our work and we put them at the center of everything we do. This role will be responsible for identifying impactful campaigns, developing winning tactics and leveraging our member’s power to create fundamental shifts in corporate behaviour and to reshape the global economy for the benefit of people and the planet. 

This role requires fluency (written and oral) in German and English. This role also requires familiarity with the political and corporate landscapes in Germany, other German speaking regions, and/or the EU. 

This position is full time and remote and can be undertaken by anyone living between GMT -1 and GMT +2 hours.

A bit about us

SumOfUs is a global movement of consumers, investors, and workers standing together to hold corporations accountable for their actions and forge a new and sustainable path for our global economy.  We are a movement of more than 20 million people, brought together by a global team of 40 campaigners, fundraisers, product and operations staff who are passionate about creating a more caring, equitable society.

We are aiming to fundamentally reshape the global economy to put people and planet over profit, but we know we can not do it alone.

We invest in people and we invest in how we work, because our vision calls on us to build the most effective, global, diverse, and talented team possible.

We highly value a diverse team and an equitable work environment where every member of our team is set up to thrive. We have taken steps to nurture this environment including an Anti-Oppression Leadership Team that leads work to transform injustice within the organization. We expect all team members to take responsibility for co-creating an equitable work community where everyone is able to do impactful, world-changing work. We offer benefits including additional sick days for parents and caregivers, flexible working hours, and professional development stipends. We review our policies and practices for equity frequently. We encourage people identifying with marginalized communities to apply.

• Lead project and campaigns teams with support and oversight from our Campaign Directors to achieve impact, fundraising, and organizational goals;
• Identify, research and develop campaigns targeting corporations in German speaking regions, across Europe, and globally;
• Write and edit (and/or translate) compelling emails to engage and mobilize our members to take action, fundraise, and build our power in Europe;
• Identify and develop fundraising opportunities to raise money to grow our movement and create real-world impact;
• Collaborate with partners and coalitions around campaign opportunities, manage relationships, and advance SumOfUs’s goals;
• Draft press releases and (with support and training) pitch reporters to cover our campaigns; and 
• Assist with managing our membership lists, including monitoring and interpreting how people engage with the emails we send, if the emails are effective in generating action or raising money, and if the email list is growing.

Skills and experiences you’ll need to bring

• Be dedicated to building a fairer and more sustainable global economy;
• Write 1-2 impactful and compelling emails to our member list per week;
• Communicate in English (English is our primary working language at SOU);

This role in particular requires you to:

If you’re working at your best when you’re setting out a strategy, trying new things and learning from your experiences, you’ll fit right in.

Whether it’s policy makers, students’ unions or activist groups, you’ll know how to create and leverage relationships with key stakeholders to set the agenda and deliver collective wins.

Our new campaigning strategy centres digital mobilisation combined with deep, transformational organising so that we can build and sustain high participation in our campaigns. Working with elected student leaders you’ll play a key role in driving home this shift in campaign practice across the movement from students’ unions to the grassroots.

Introduction from our CEO

“The Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work.

The journey of the Trust over its 35-year history has been astounding in its achievements despite being born from the most tragic of circumstances and we work tirelessly to ensure that Suzy’s legacy lives on. However, while we have achieved great things and seen improvements in the support available to victims of stalking and other forms of violence, aggression and abuse, there is so much more to do to reduce incidents of stalking and harassment and ensure the safety of victims across the UK.

The shockingly low conviction rates for stalking leave thousands of victims without the protections they so urgently need to reduce the risks to their physical and mental health. It takes immense courage to come forward to report stalking behaviours which have a devastating impact on victims’ lives, and it is simply not good enough that so many cases fall by the wayside without attaining the justice victims need and want.

Our National Stalking Helpline Advice and Advocacy service offers support and advice to thousands of victims of stalking every year. Caseworkers advocate on victims’ behalf with police, social services and other statutory or victim support agencies.

We are currently seeking an experienced, proactive individual, who can hit the ground running, to provide management and leadership within the National Stalking Helpline and Advocacy Service.

We pride ourselves on our innovative ground-breaking research, campaigns and projects. By working at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust you would be joining a group of highly skilled experts in the field, with fantastic training opportunities in stalking, harassment and personal safety.

Come and join us on our mission to reduce the risk of violence and aggression through campaigning, education and support.

Good luck’’

SUKY BHAKER, CEO OF SUZY LAMPLUGH TRUST
