You’ll oversee detail in – design, scheduling, branding, sponsor engagement, and content creation – working with ambassadors, VIP guests, and partners to ensure each event amplifies our story and leaves a lasting impression.

Alongside events, you’ll take ownership of the King’s Trust International brand, ensuring it’s represented consistently and powerfully across all digital channels, printed materials, and partner collaborations.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, high-profile environment – confident managing complex projects, building strong relationships, and delivering to the highest standard. As part of a small but driven marketing and communications team, your work will be central to raising our profile, engaging supporters, and celebrating the young people we serve.

What you’ll do:

• Oversee all aspects of event management, from logistics to content creation.
• Manage the King’s Trust International brand, ensuring consistency and impact.
• Develop engaging marketing materials and digital content.
• Collaborate with colleagues and partners across the King’s Trust Group worldwide.

If you’re a creative, organised, and strategic professional who can turn vision into exceptional delivery, we’d love to hear from you.

Having adopted a new and ambitious strategy, and embarked on a period of transformational change, Two Saints are now looking to ensure they are in the strongest position to deliver their vision in what are difficult times.
