Job Summary
Recently named Charity of the Year by Just Giving Awards 2022, we’re committed to moving further, faster to accelerate change for everyone affected by a brain tumour. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 in the UK than any other cancer. We know that a cure can’t wait.
Do you want to join an award-winning team that’s dedicated to helping those living with brain tumours live longer, better lives? Do you love finding and testing new ways to reach and engage with people across digital channels?

You’re a total pro at working with and exploring different digital advertising platforms — from Meta and TikTok Ads Manager to Google and YouTube — and always take a data-driven approach when determining the best way to use them to achieve a campaign’s goals.
Working closely with the Digital Marketing and Social Media Manager and other campaign owners across The Charity, you are comfortable using your experience of planning digital media elements of multi-channel marketing and fundraising campaigns.

- Develop briefs and guidance to ensure the wider team can supply suitable content for paid media campaigns
- Collaborate with external agencies to drive campaign results, when required
- Work with digital teams to build and report on a ‘test and learn’ approach into all digital media activity (where appropriate)
- Daily management of The Charity’s Google Ads Grant and Paid accounts in order to drive targeted traffic to the website
- Work with wider social media and PR team to develop The Charity’s always on content marketing strategy, taking an active role in briefing teams on requirements for ad creatives (video, imagery, key messages)
- Assist with building and managing retargeting campaigns to promote our range of support services for people living with brain tumours, delivering the right support and information at each stage of their journey
- Produce reporting and analysis on digital media campaigns using analytical tools in order to continually optimise activity and provide learnings to inform activity on other channels
- Support other digitally-minded colleagues across The Charity, offering best practice, training, and advise when it comes to planning and managing fundraising multi-channel campaigns
- Stay up-to-date with the latest social media trends and best practices to optimise content and strategy
