Head of marketing and communications jobs
About Malaria No More UK
We exist to end malaria, together. Malaria is preventable and treatable — yet a child still dies every minute from this disease. At Malaria No More UK, we refuse to accept this.
Through targeted influencing communications, bold partnerships and political advocacy, we mobilise the leadership, funding and innovation needed to end malaria in our lifetimes.
We work to protect G7 ODA budgets for malaria and unlock new financing opportunities that accelerate progress toward a malaria-free world.
We specialise in generating high-impact communications that amplify the voices of scientists, economists, celebrity ambassadors, African business leaders, creators and those on the front lines of the fight against malaria. Together, we make malaria impossible to ignore.
At a time of uncertainty for international development and malaria financing, this work has never been more vital. The future of the malaria fight is being shaped now — and with the right leadership, creativity and advocacy, we can secure the investment needed to end malaria in our lifetime, saving lives and unlocking billions in shared growth and prosperity.
The Role
The Senior Digital and Content Manager leads the development and delivery of Malaria No More UK’s digital content strategy — shaping how we inspire action, influence decision-makers and elevate diverse voices to drive progress against malaria.

Managing one staff member (Digital Engagement Officer), you’ll collaborate across the organisation to ensure our digital strategy delivers measurable influence and impact — while staying true to our brand voice: togetherness, momentum and possibility.
The average day in this role will be changeable, so being flexible and good under pressure is essential.

Who we are
Since 1917, PDSA (People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals) has been the UK’s most trusted veterinary charity for people and their pets. We are one of the country’s largest veterinary practices, providing 24/7 urgent, ongoing care and pet health education, and the only one delivering free care to those who need it most.
We treat more pets than all other UK vet charities combined, and our aim is to help people and pets together by providing a lifeline to owners who are unable to afford veterinary treatment. Thanks to our fantastic supporters, we can help those struggling most get the life-saving veterinary care their pet desperately needs.

Candidates will ideally have proven experience in digital marketing and data analytics within the non-profit or charity sector, with strong expertise in CRM systems, marketing automation, and analytics tools. Excellent analytical skills with the ability to translate complex datasets into actionable insights and testable optimisation plans.

In addition, you will be familiar with fundraising strategy and donor engagement, as well as hold a professional digital marketing qualification.
