The Syria Campaign
The Syria Campaign is a small, fast moving, and powerful human rights organisation that is building new ways for digital and creative communications to have impact. We work to support Syria’s heroes in the struggle for freedom and democracy, partnering with civil society actors inside and outside the country. We’ve moved beyond the limitations of an “online movement builder” or traditional NGO, fusing the best elements of think tanks, creative agencies, and digital mobilisation to shift the narrative on Syria.
Thirteen years since the Syrian people took to the streets to demand freedom and democracy, there are still millions of civilians at risk of military attack, over 100,000 people remain illegally detained and disappeared, and there has been nearly no accountability for the victims and survivors of war crimes. The Syria Campaign works to keep Syria in the international spotlight to increase the cost of attacks on civilians, help build the power of civil society, advocate for a vision of real peace and justice, and build international solidarity with the Syrian people.
We’ve raised the profile of Syrian groups such as the White Helmets rescue workers, helping secure them millions of dollars to continue their life-saving work and making them famous around the world. We’ve supported the Families for Freedom, a women-led movement of the families of the disappeared in Syria, to ensure their demands are heard. We work with dozens of partners across Syria who trust us deeply. Syria is full of heroes and we’re privileged enough to work with them. You can read about some of what we’ve done here, here and here.
After 13 years of conflict and crisis in Syria, we have to fight hard to make sure the issues that matter to us and our partners get the focus and support they need. We refuse to let Syria disappear from the attention of the world, and we will work until we see justice served. The Digital Campaign Manager will play a key role as The Syria Campaign develops new strategies and approaches to achieve our goals.
What you’ll be responsible for
Developing and leading far-reaching digital campaigns with our Syrian partners to make their demands heard on the international stage, that capitalise on reactive campaign moments. You will be campaigning for freedom and justice for Syria’s disappeared, for the protection of civilians and humanitarian workers from the bombs, and for support for educators, media activists and other heroic civil society actors on the ground in Syria.
Creating high-quality digital campaign content. You will work closely with our small and talented campaign team to write amazing copy across a range of campaign materials, including through supporter emails, advocacy briefs, blogs, and microsites. You will lead on digital advocacy opportunities to mobilise our supporters to take action in solidarity with the demands of our Syrian partners through petitions, fundraisers and other actions. Working closely with the media team you will push forwards creative visuals for social media including graphics, videos and commentary, including commissioning and managing creatives.
Leading our campaign email programme. You will manage our supporter email programme in collaboration with designers and developers. This includes devising and drafting regular multilingual campaign emails to keep our large supporter base engaged, testing out best practices to grow and maintain those who support us, and analysing our success. You will also build action pages, run fundraisers for our Syrian partners, and manage Facebook ads.
Organising and coordinating events and actions, amplified online. You will manage events and actions that influence politicians and decision makers to meet the demands of our Syrian civil society partners – making sure they have maximum impact and reach our global audience.

Director of Fundraising
The Rep
Birmingham, UK
Salary range of £50,000 - £60,000 pa
We are Birmingham’s world-class producing theatre. We create inclusive, exciting and exceptional theatre by, with and for Birmingham and the wider world.
The Rep is a special place. It’s a place to be transported – to laugh and cry, wish and wonder. We create live experiences and memories, bringing communities and the arts closer together and enriching lives across the region and beyond.
Fundraising income is vital to our work on and off-stage and after a recent strategic review, we’ve identified that there is untapped potential and significant room for growth across all levels and forms. To meet our ambitions for this next level of fundraising activity and outcomes, we are seeking a creative, talented and collaborative fundraiser to join us and lead our efforts in this area.
As our new Director of Fundraising, you will bring a track record of philanthropic and grant income generation, along with well-developed influencing, negotiation and inter-personal skills. You will be strategic, organised and ambitious for the Rep, and excited by an opportunity to join a team that is looking for a fresh approach and to build something. As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will need to gain credibility quickly and become a trusted colleague - someone who understands what it takes to operate in a fast-paced environment and work with the detail, without losing sight of the bigger picture. The Fundraising team is growing and quite new, so you will develop and inspire them to rise to the challenge of what’s to come.
In return, you will have the support of a senior leadership team, the Board, and an engaged Fundraising Development Board that is ready to help us achieve even more. You will have the opportunity to help shape our future and make a tangible impact at a challenging time for the arts sector.
If this sounds like the sort of career opportunity you’re looking for next, we’d love to start a conversation. Please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates, for a confidential conversation and download the candidate information pack from their website.
