About Wikimedia UK

A registered charity, Wikimedia UK is the national chapter of the global Wikimedia movement. We work with volunteers, communities and partners across the UK to build and improve Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, so that everyone can access and contribute to reliable, open knowledge. We empower people to find, use, evaluate, and communicate information online and we advocate for a digital ecosystem that is open, equitable and democratic.

We have had dedicated staff support for activity in Scotland for nearly a decade, and have several successful and ongoing partnerships with a number of educational and cultural institutions, as well as community organisations.  Whilst the focus of this role is primarily on Scotland, Wikimedia UK delivers work both nationally and internationally, and the post holder would be expected to hold a portfolio which contributes to and supports this.

You’re building confidence in your technical abilities and are motivated to make the most of every opportunity - producing work that is considered, engaging, and continuously improving.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES:

• Support the creation of engaging digital and print materials, including campaign assets, sub-brands, toolkits, and internal and external communications, ensuring alignment with the Charity’s brand guidelines.

• Assist on a range of creative projects from initial briefing through to final production, including concept development, responding to feedback, preparing files, and supporting delivery across platforms.

• Stay curious and proactive in exploring new design ideas, tools, and trends, contributing suggestions to enhance creative output.

• Manage your workload across multiple projects with support, working to deadlines while maintaining attention to detail and quality.

• Build and maintain positive working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders, contributing to a collaborative and supportive team environment.

• Support the organisation and maintenance of creative tools and processes, including file management, production planning, and updating project boards (e.g. Trello).
