Who we are:

Chefs in Schools is a young, ambitious charity that's rapidly growing. Our mission is to improve kids health, through improving school food & food education. We focus our efforts in areas of high socio-economic deprivation, where more than a third of children are entitled to free school meals, and diet-related disease is driving further inequality.

We support and train school kitchen teams to serve the best, freshest and tastiest food possible, alongside meaningful food education. We share learning and resources, aiming to inspire and enable others to follow our lead.

We're backed by some of the biggest names in food and have ambitious targets to ensure every child has access to incredible school food and food education, setting them up for life with the skills and knowledge to feed themselves well.

About you and the role

The School Food Project is an ambitious coalition-led initiative dedicated to transforming the school food system. To achieve this, we are deploying three distinct school engagement models: Beacon schools (intensive, in-person, deep-impact sites), Explorer schools (hybrid training and peer learning), and Discovery schools (online only support).

We are seeking an exceptional School Food Project Coordinator to serve as the operational engine room and central connective tissue of this project. Reporting directly to the Programme Manager for the School Food Project, this role will be responsible for ownership of all school-level coordination.

As the primary point of contact for all participating schools, you will bridge the gap between the school and the individual coalition’s delivery leads. You will be responsible for nurturing school relationships, maintaining seamless communication across all delivery partners, and ensuring that vital monitoring, evaluation, and impact data flows smoothly from the schools to our evaluation team.

The responsibilities, skills and experience listed below are intended to give you an idea of what we need for this role. If you don't meet every requirement but feel you would be able to work with us to deliver the majority of them, we urge you to apply anyway. We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and for us the most important 'experience' is passion for our mission. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds, especially those from underrepresented communities, to apply.

We want to get to know you at the interview and understand we can do this best if you're at ease. We're an inclusive employer and work hard to create a welcoming working environment for everyone, including appointing a neurodiversity champion to help us identify how we can make our work environment work for everyone. If you need adjustments to the interview process please let us know.

As we work with children & young people, an offer of employment will be subject to satisfactory references and DBS clearance, in line with our safeguarding policy.

You'll lead on the delivery of complex, multi-channel paid acquisition campaigns — recruiting new cash and regular givers through Meta, Google Ads, programmatic display and beyond — while shaping the strategy, testing plans and attribution models that make our digital fundraising smarter and more effective.

This is a role with real scope: you'll manage campaigns end-to-end, drive conversion rate optimisation across our key digital products, and build the processes and content pipelines that let a small but ambitious team punch above its weight.

If you're a performance marketer who wants your skills to translate directly into lifesaving healthcare for Palestinians, this is your chance. 

As you will have seen from the role profile, this post requires a minimum of two days per week in our London office.

MAP has a flexible working policy to support employees with additional needs, caring responsibilities etc. However, it will not be possible for this role to be completely remote.

About you

• Lead the delivery of MAP's paid digital fundraising programme, from campaign briefing through to optimisation and review
• Develop and oversee our Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) roadmap
• Support on the development of our paid digital strategy, attribution models and reporting 
• Build and run testing plans to identify and scale what works
• Improve internal and agency processes, including content sourcing and sign-off pipelines
• Manage relationships with external creative and media agencies
• Support budgeting, forecasting and compliant conversion tracking 

What we're looking for

• Proven experience managing paid digital performance marketing campaigns across channels including Meta Ads, Google Ads and programmatic display
• A strong eye for creative and storytelling, and an understanding of how paid and owned channels work together
• Confidence managing multiple complex campaigns and competing priorities
• Strong analytical skills — able to turn data from multiple sources into clear, actionable reporting
• Demonstrable experience influencing and managing stakeholders, internally and externally
• A good understanding of GDPR and the Fundraising Code of Practice
• Desired experience working on regular giving recruitment      campaigns across digital and direct marketing channels. 
• Experience in a charity, humanitarian or campaigning environment is a plus, but not essential
