ABOUT THE ECONOMIST EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION

We are an independent charity that was set up by staff from inside The Economist newspaper in 2012. We enable disadvantaged young people to join inspiring discussions about the news which teach them to think critically, communicate effectively and understand what’s happening in the world.

Building these competencies can change a young person’s life. They learn to listen, creatively solve problems and speak confidently about the issues affecting their lives, from inequality to climate change. This sets them up to succeed in school, in future work and as citizens.

We are a small organisation (currently a team of eight with a turnover of under £1m) with big plans to grow. We sit within the larger Economist Group and work with teams across the company.

WHAT YOU WILL BE MARKETING: AN INNOVATIVE SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

Our programme, Topical Talk, gives teachers high-quality training and resources to have weekly discussions about the news in their classrooms. Students also use our innovative Topical Talk Student Hub to join discussions with counterparts all over the world and leading topic experts. Our current topic is COP26 and one of the experts is Al Gore. Young people who regularly take part make five times more progress than their peers in thinking and communication skills that are proven to change life outcomes.

THE ROLE AND WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

Lead responsibility for marketing our programme, with help from a supportive, collaborative team and a wealth of marketing expertise to draw on across The Economist Group. We are passionate about reaching more young people and we have ambitious new plans to scale up Topical Talk globally. As our Marketing Manager, you will have lead responsibility for marketing the programme to schools, working closely with the rest of the Foundation team and engaging support from marketers across The Economist.

You will be creative in planning marketing activities that maximise a small-charity budget and you’ll actively build relationships in The Economist’s marketing team to secure support and create opportunities to collaborate. You will enjoy working with others and drawing on the knowledge and skills of your colleagues, from the Foundation’s Designer to experienced in-house teachers, to optimise your marketing campaigns.

Strong foundations to build on. We have already achieved national scale: we worked with 113 partner schools in 2020/21. We now aim to radically expand our reach, and our strategy for growth has already shown exciting success. In the past year, our teaching resources amassed 14,000 subscribers and were downloaded 160,000 times in 141 countries. Our programme was recognised by HundrED, a global education charity, as one of the most impactful and scalable education innovations globally.

An opportunity to join a passionate, high-performing team at an exciting stage of growth and have a real social impact. You will play a key role in building on our momentum and helping us achieve our growth aims. Our three-year goals are to reach 20% of UK state schools (roughly 4,000 schools) and to match that reach globally, including 3,000 schools in the U.S.

The creative freedom of a small organisation combined with the advantages of a larger company and leading media brand. You will have access to Economist Group benefits including private medical insurance and great training and mentoring opportunities.

About Black Thrive

Black Thrive Global evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016 to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people in Lambeth. Black people’s cumulative exposure to negative experiences and poor outcomes are not unique to Lambeth and Black Thrive Global was founded in 2020 to address the detrimental outcomes for Black people of African and Caribbean descent wherever they may be located.

Our work covers all life stages – children and young people, working age adults and older adults. Our guiding principle is to centre the lived experiences of Black communities in all that we do, and our strategic priorities are to embed race equity in systems change and to decolonise the evidence landscape.

As Communications Manager, you will lead all aspects of our communications and marketing activity with key stakeholders and with the general public.

Working closely with the Directors and staff team, you will create a compelling, coherent and consistent narrative that joins up all our communication channels, key messaging around core projects, and plan strategically for key dates in relevant industries. To do this, you will work with staff across our organisation and with the communities we represent to increase our engagement with the general public and key stakeholders. Our communications will be both reactive and proactive and the post holder will provide quick responses to emerging media stories.

UNICEF ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

This is a great opportunity to join the UK Committee for UNICEF (UNICEF UK) as Head of International Programme Engagement.

The International Programmes Engagement team is UNICEF UK’s hub of technical expertise on UNICEF’s global programmes and priorities. It is the central source for UNICEF UK of programmatic intelligence, knowledge, interpretation and strategic guidance, ensuring outcomes for children are at the centre of all we do within the UK. You will work in partnership with colleagues globally and in the UK, to ensure that UNICEF UK persuasively and accurately mobilises strategic resources to protect, promote and uphold children’s rights.

To succeed, you will have experience of influencing and negotiating with multiple stakeholders within global organisations, ideally in a resource mobilisation, advocacy and communications context. You are also likely to have directly worked within an international development agency, country programme or similar.

Interview date: Wednesday, 10 November and Thursday, 11 November 2021 via video conferencing.
