Are you looking for a new challenge or to take the next step in your marketing career? We are recruiting an experienced marketing professional to set up and develop our marketing and communications function and deliver a strategy to support our business objectives.
It’s an exciting time to join us. In this new role you’ll lead on all aspects of marketing and communications to build brand awareness, market services, increase revenue, support fundraising and communicate our impact effectively across our catchment area. You’ll also grow our marketing capability by working with agencies and suppliers, upskilling others, managing volunteers and in time a new team member.
Ideally you will have experience in business planning, setting an appropriate marketing mix across a range of channels, understanding audiences and knowing the importance of measurement and evaluation. You’ll be able to both think strategically and work hands-on, as you’ll oversee the day-to-day marketing activities and track their success.
You will have a collaborative, solution focussed attitude, working as part of a small, friendly management team. You’ll have experience working for or with charities or not for profits and support the aims and work of our organisation.
Based at our Birmingham office, the role will involve visiting our other locations from time to time and attending external meetings, so some flexibility in working hours and some travelling will be necessary.
