About Rethinking Economics
Rethinking Economics (RE) is an international network working to build a better Economics in society and the classroom. We started as a student movement in 2012 and have since grown to become a registered charity with a 7-person staff team. Through a mixture of campaigning, events and projects, we support over 100 groups in over 30 countries around the world, alongside thousands of supportive members of the public, to reform the university Economics curriculum to make it more pluralist, critical and applicable to the real world.
Rethinking Economics is undertaking an exciting transition process in which we are developing and expanding the future of the organisation.
Over the next year we will be launching a book on the lack of diversity in Economics, redeveloping our website and visual communications and building a spokesperson network of student economists that will promote Rethinking Economics in the UK.
What we’re looking for
Effective communications are at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for a dynamic communications professional who can take the lead on overhauling and professionalising Rethinking Economics’ branding, website, communications and marketing strategy. You will have a keen eye for effective communication tools, and you will be passionate about keeping up to date with sector trends and have solid knowledge of best practice.
This is a new role and the successful candidate will have a real opportunity to make their mark on the communication function of Rethinking Economics. Your communications will attract new members, supporters and drive the growth of the organisation. We are a small organisation who are continually developing and growing – a keenness to thrive in a fast-paced changing environment is essential.
Diversity, Equality and Inclusion
We are committed to providing equality and fairness for all and not to discriminate on grounds of gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, mental health, religion or age. We encourage and celebrate the different qualities that our colleagues, and others we work with, bring to our work. And we believe that seeing things from a wide range of different perspectives helps us to resolve problems, adapt our approaches and develop as an organisation. We want to bring greater diversity to our team and we’re keen to hear what you think you’ll bring from your own background and experience (beyond your professional skills and knowledge).
