From Bernie Sanders to Greenpeace UK, progressive organisations are using digital mobilisation to activate hundreds of thousands of campaigners and raise millions of pounds online. Forward Action believes that a digital mobilisation model - where organisations use digital channels to drive hundreds of thousands of supporters to take advocacy, fundraising and volunteering actions - can revolutionize campaigning and fundraising in the NGO sector. However, its potential is still largely untapped in the UK. We help progressive organisations build digital mobilisation programmes and, as our Marketing and Partnerships Officer, you will work to help grow the number of organisations using a digital mobilisation model to drive real-world change.

You will manage our online marketing programme, working to keep establishing Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation and finding ways to share learnings from our innovations for the rest of the sector to benefit from. You’ll run the day-to-day operations of our partnerships programme, acting as the primary point of contact for prospective partners and delivering the administrative and coordination work needed to move organisations smoothly through from first interaction to a productive partnership. And finally, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in relationship building, supporting our Partnerships Director to build stakeholder buy-in on projects.

If you’re passionate about digital marketing, enjoy building relationships, are well organised and would be excited to help spread digital mobilisation across the charity sector, this job is for you.

This is a permanent role, with the freedom to work both in our London office and remotely from home, although during lockdown you will, of course, only work from home. Once lockdown is fully lifted, it’s likely you will need to be able to travel to meetings in London once or twice a week. You can work either four or five days a week. Applications close Sunday 2 August.

Who we are

Forward Action is a digital mobilisation agency for progressive causes. We help our partner organisations reach new supporters, then mobilise them to become activists and donors. We have been in the engine room of some of the most successful election and charity digital campaigns of the last few years, helping our partners add millions of new supporters to their email lists, raise more money online (from more donors) and create campaigns that have led to real-world change.

Our values are critical to us: we will only work with causes that make the world a better place. You will get to work with some of the most inspiring and impactful organisations in the sector - such as Greenpeace, Cancer Research UK, and Amnesty International - and spend your days helping win progress on everything from climate change to homelessness.

You will be working at the cutting edge of digital mobilisation. We trust in data rather than our gut instincts, so we are constantly testing and iterating in our work in order to challenge assumptions and drive better results. We are an agile, fast-moving team, and you will have the opportunity to rapidly develop and expand your skills and experience. 

One of our fundamental values is that all our work should drive real-world, measurable results. But we also believe that the greatest progressive impact we can have is to give our partner organisations the skills, knowledge and culture they need to do what we do themselves. We want to spread our skills and way of working across the progressive sector, not make our partners dependent on us. You will play a key role in this in your job.

What you’ll do as part of our team

• Manage our marketing and thought leadership work

  • Identify and apply for opportunities for Forward Action to speak at conferences and events, and occasionally speak at them yourself (if this is something you’d like to do)

  • Oversee our content calendar for our blogs and social media channels, and commission other team members to write content that shares our learnings and further establishes Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation

  • Launch and run our email programme to share results and learnings from our work

  • Organise occasional evening drinks, coffee meetings and other social events with partners (and attend them yourself)

• Run the day-to-day operation of our partnerships programme

  • Be the primary point of contact for prospective partners over email, from their first interaction with us through to the point we start work together

  • Identify and organise opportunities for our partnerships team to share advice and learnings with both current and prospective partners

  • Run our project setup process, ensuring we’re completing all the administrative setup work needed for each new project

  • Run our invoicing process, using our bookkeeping system to send out invoices for each completed project

  • Assist with quoting and, occasionally, proposal writing for smaller projects

• Develop your skills in building relationships with partners

  • Join calls with our Partnerships Director and new prospective partners to discuss how Forward Action can help them hit their goals

  • As a development opportunity in the role, you will act as the partnership owner on occasional projects, building relationships with partner stakeholders and helping our team break through process challenges or blockages during projects.

Benefits and working culture

Pro Rata Salary: £31,431 if you live inside London, £28,063 (plus £3,000 travel expense allowance) if you live outside London. We have a generous pay increase system, so every year your salary will increase in line with inflation, and if you hit your professional development goals you will also move up a pay grade. If you move up a pay grade your pay will increase by £1,123 - £1,258 pro rata depending on whether you live outside London or in London.

Contract Term: This is a permanent contract. The role can be either full time or four days a week.

Location: At home during lockdown; post-lockdown, in our Hoxton office, with the option to work remotely. Ensuring our team is open to people who live outside London and enabling staff to work flexibly are important values to us, so you’ll have the freedom to work from home regularly. Many of our meetings are held via video conferencing, but post-lockdown you will need to attend meetings with clients in London fairly regularly - once or twice a week on average.

Holiday: 25 days/year (pro rata), plus bank holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year.

Extra holiday for travelling sustainably: We’re a member of the Climate Perks scheme, so you’ll have an extra two days of holiday a year if you use them to travel by land or sea instead of taking a flight.

Maternity and Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave: For a small organisation, we’re proud to have a generous and progressive parental leave policy. Maternity leave is 12 weeks at full pay, 14 weeks at 50% pay. Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave is 6 weeks at full pay.

Working culture and hours: Our team is open, inclusive, friendly, respectful and kind. People from communities that traditionally experience discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity or immigration status; women; new parents; people with disabilities; and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply.

We work eight hour days (including a 30 minute lunch break), with core hours of 9:30am-4:30pm. We put a lot of importance on ensuring everyone finishes on time: while there are some times when you’ll need to stay a little later to finish work, people in the team rarely work more than 45-60 minutes late. No one ever works on weekends or their holidays.

About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details here.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 55,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 80% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns such as Inspiring Women and others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 4,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please click here.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 1.8 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

In partnership with the National Governance Association the charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.

Since YGAM was founded five years ago, we have quickly established ourselves as a leading educational charity which builds digital resilience in young and vulnerable people, by training professionals to raise awareness of the potential of gaming and gambling-related harm; making resources available for parents and delivering impactful student campaigns with partner universities. Last year alone, we have reached approximately 364,918 young people, students and parents and we have collaborated with almost 2,488 educational organisations (schools, colleges, universities and charities) to deliver our programmes.

YGAM are incredibly proud to be working with all stakeholders in this space, from the gambling & gaming operators who make products available to the public; education professionals who support young people & students learning; the criminal justice sector; partner universities; public health; third sector organisations; sports clubs; Local Authorities and young people, students and parents themselves.

It is a very busy time in YGAM currently and we have a unique opportunity for an experienced, hands-on Head of Corporate Partnerships fundraiser to join the YGAM team to foster new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships and income from the gaming, tech & mobile sectors. This post is being offered as a full-time position with a salary of £38,000 - £40,000 (plus London Weighting if applicable).  It is a home-based role and you will be required to travel on a regular basis as Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.

The principal purpose of the post is to devise and implement a successful programme of corporate fundraising securing at least £50,000 and one high-profile CSR partnership in your first six-months.  As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) you will assume overall responsibility of income generation for the charity as your knowledge of YGAM and our social purpose increases. The role will be demanding, highly rewarding and best suited to an experienced corporate fundraiser who wants to grow and develop their career within corporate fundraising, taking their experience to a national level. Being highly organised, having an absolute eye for detail and the drive and ambition to make this opportunity a success are critical qualities.

To apply for the role please send a copy of your curriculum-vitae along with a supporting statement (max two sides of A4) outlining your experience and how your skills match those in the person specification to the email address below.
