Promotion and Marketing Lead

x 3 West Midlands, Derby & Dumbarton (one in each location)

Are you an energetic people-person who is motivated by ambitious targets? Do you think climate change and biodiversity loss are the most important political priorities? Join The Commitment as part of our Election ‘21 team and encourage people in your community to vote for a healthy planet and speed up government action on climate and nature.

As a member of our very first Promotion and Marketing team, you will be focusing on one of our three trial areas. To date our work has been London based and we are excited to trial new locations. This is likely to  be predominantly online but there may be opportunities to meet in person in Covid safe settings. The Commitment is regularly reviewing its approach in line with government advice. You will benefit from the learning we have gained through our extensive online and offline Community Engagement work to date.

Your role will be to encourage a substantial number of people to make The Commitment, working across local organisations and groups to compliment existing activities and raise the profile of The Commitment in your locality. This is a set contract to work up to and including the Elections on 6th May 2021, ideally starting in  January. 

About The Commitment

We believe that rapidly rising public concern about climate change and biodiversity loss has not been matched by political efforts and we aim to encourage UK politicians to put it at the top of their agenda, resulting in more action.
