Brand communications manager jobs

War Child believes that children’s lives should not be torn apart by war. It is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict, with four main areas of work: protecting children, educating children, supporting communities and campaigning. The charity are renowned for their creative, innovative and entrepreneurial approach, with strong connections to the gaming, music and creative industries. 

Philanthropy is a central driver of War Child’s growth. Income has risen rapidly, underpinned by exceptional networks, high-profile supporters and a highly successful portfolio of events and experiences. Following a strategic review, War Child is now investing in a more structured, sustainable approach to philanthropy fundraising with two clearly defined strands: one focused on traditional major donor relationship management and pipeline growth, and a second dedicated to high-value events and experiences as a core driver of major donor engagement and income. This role has been created to lead the second strand.

While the Senior Philanthropy Manager’s primary focus will be generating income from a warm portfolio of major donors, they will also take strategic ownership of War Child’s high-value philanthropy events, shaping donor engagement rather than delivering events operationally. This is an autonomous, externally-facing role, unlocking influential networks and converting high-profile engagement into long-term philanthropic partnerships.

Please note that this is a hybrid role, with 1-2 days per week in the Camden office, with regular events and meetings in central London.

As Senior Philanthropy Manager, you will:

• Manage and develop a portfolio of donors and warm prospects capable of giving 6-figure gifts, including high-value donors currently sitting with senior leadership
• Take strategic ownership of War Child’s high-value events as a core driver of the major donor pipeline, shaping and strengthening this strand so it becomes a defined, sustainable part of the philanthropy programme
• Lead on donor engagement around events, including narrative, asks, pledge levels, follow-up and conversion to income
• Analyse and prioritise prospects with the Data & Insights Manager to focus effort on the highest-value opportunities
• Unlock and activate influential networks through ambassadors, senior volunteers and high-profile supporters
• Work closely with the Head of Philanthropy, Data & Insights Manager, Events Producer, and Principal Giving Lead

Essential skills and experience:

• Significant experience of high-value major donor fundraising, with a track record of securing £50k+ gifts from HNWIs
• Strong experience of developing donors through identification, cultivation, solicitation and long-term stewardship
• Credibility and confidence working with wealthy, influential individuals, advisers, celebrities and senior volunteers
• Experience of shaping donor engagement strategy around high-value events or pledge environments
• Strategic thinker with strong judgement on prospect prioritisation and pipeline management
• Excellent relationship management, influencing and written communication skills
• Comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-moving, high-profile environment

Desirable:

• Experience of pledge dinners or high-value special events at a strategic fundraising level
• Experience working with ambassadors or high-profile supporters
• International development or humanitarian sector experience

The Marketing and Communications Manager will support the delivery of Ella’s integrated communications, marketing and emerging advocacy work. This role will help to ensure Ella’s reaches and influences external audiences effectively — raising awareness of the challenges faced by survivors, strengthening Ella’s public profile, and increasing engagement with supporters, partners and the wider public.

The postholder will lead our marketing and communications across digital channels, the website, impact reporting and organisational campaigns and also play a lead role in developing and delivering our advocacy and campaigning activity.  This is a hands-on role for a keen marketer and strong communicator motivated by social impact and ethical, survivor-centred storytelling. 

This is a pivotal moment for Ella's communications. We need someone ready to take the reins of our digital presence and drive our voice forward with confidence and creativity. You'll own our communications channels day-to-day, shaping how we show up online, how we tell survivor stories ethically and powerfully, and how we cut through to reach the audiences that matter.

This isn't about maintaining the status quo. We're looking for someone who can elevate our content, grow our reach, and make Ella's unmissable across digital platforms. You'll lead the charge on building our website into a stronger resource, creating content that moves people to action, and ensuring our impact work translates into compelling stories that resonate with supporters, funders, and the wider public.

We’re looking for a creative and data-driven Senior Social Media Officer to take the lead on managing and evolving our social media presence across multiple channels. You’ll work closely with colleagues across our global teams to bring our brand to life online — raising awareness, driving engagement, and helping us tell powerful stories of change.

This role sits within our Brand & Communications team. You’ll be responsible for managing digital communities, creating compelling content, spotting trends, and using data insights to optimise our performance. You’ll also play a vital role in building capacity across the organisation, helping others to use social media in a way that’s consistent, impactful, and aligned with our global objectives.

Accountabilities

• Lead the development and delivery of our social media strategy, ensuring alignment with broader communications goals.
• Manage our global social media channels and digital communities — engaging followers, responding to queries, and growing our reach.
• Create and coordinate engaging, platform-appropriate content — including graphics, video, and storytelling.
• Analyse and report on performance, using insights to inform strategy and day-to-day decisions.
• Stay ahead of trends, spotting new opportunities for engagement and innovation.
• Support colleagues and partners with expert advice, toolkits, and training to strengthen their own social media activity.
• Contribute to integrated campaigns, helping us amplify fundraising and other strategic profiling efforts (e.g. influencing, thought leadership, etc).

About us

​At Epilepsy Action we are inclusive, ambitious, supportive, and committed to creating a world without limits for people with epilepsy. 

​

​As we achieve the goals in our 2024 - 2030 strategy we are excited to welcome you to our passionate, supportive and committed team.

​

We understand the importance of a work life balance, and that's why we have a number of ways to support our people to achieve this. By operating a flexible and supportive approach, we empower people to work in a way that suits them that also meets the need of the charity.

​

If you are interested in building a career you can be proud of in an inclusive and ambitious organisation we might have the role for you!

​

​The Challenge​

We are looking for a fabulous new marketing person to join our award winning team.

​

It’s been an incredible few years for Epilepsy Action with a re-brand and national campaigns reaching millions of people. ​We are now an established YouGov Top 200 UK Charity and have grown our financial turnover and scale dramatically.

​

• Despite this there is still so much to do to realise our vision of ‘a world without limits for everyone with epilepsy’ by 2030.
• 1 in 100 people in the UK have epilepsy. Despite this public awareness is incredibly poor and healthcare provision the second worse in Europe.
• Over 1,000 people die from epilepsy every year and most of their families didn’tknow it could be a fatal condition. Over 80% of people with epilepsy face depression and just 27% of working age people find employment.
• People with epilepsy are twice as likely to commit suicide than the general population.

​

There is a long way to go but we are making progress. By acting as the UK’s community for epilepsy we bring people together to end isolation and improve wellbeing. Last year 73 new people signed up to our community every day. They did so because they are inspired by our work and the impact we are having.

​

At Epilepsy Action we recognise the power of collaboration and teamwork, so our team members with hybrid contracts can expect to work a minimum of 40% at our office in Leeds. On average this is 2 days a week, normally on Mondays and Thursdays, for full-time employees. The expectation to collaborate face-to-face is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do which may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to help us create a world without limits for people with epilepsy

​

The Role

The challenge now is to double down on the momentum of the past few years. To continue to challenge stigma and raise awareness of the UK’s largest hidden disability.

​

To do that we need another creative person. Someone who can help to tell great stories that build empathy and resonance. Someone who can think about how we turn that positive feeling into action.

​

Specifically this person will be responsible for turning creative ideas into a stream of activity that makes sense to our audiences. You will be supported by a fantastic and diverse team bigger than the sum of their parts. They are open to new ideas and are bristling with confidence from recent shared successes.

​

There is also a brand consistency element to this role. This is not the conventional brand steward who tells people off for using the wrong fonts and logos (it is a bit!). It is more about ensuring that everything we do re-enforces our positioning. A charity of action that will do whatever it takes to help people with epilepsy.

​

To be successful you will be someone who can balance strategic discipline with softer relationship building skills. Someone who can be ambitious but empower others along the way by giving them the space to bring their own ideas and creativity.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you.
