Introduction

Thank you for considering our Consumer Insights and Marketing Executive role at Fair4All Finance. As we continue our exciting growth plans and begin to deliver on our ambitious goals, we are seeking a passionate and enthusiastic person with experience in delivering consumer insights projects and direct to consumer marketing activity to support our customer focused product and marketing design. Your work will have a direct impact on the lives of potentially millions of people who are living in vulnerable financial circumstances, building awareness of the organisations that can help them the most and supporting them design more effective marketing plans.  During covid 11m people accumulated £25bn of debt and arrears for essentials – our work is focussed on helping those customers have better alternatives and more affordable credit.

You will be joining a talented and driven team drawn from a range of backgrounds spanning CEO, Partner and Director roles within Financial Services institutions through to leaders in impact investing and social purpose organisations. The reach and influence of our team makes this an exciting place to work and enables us to engage important stakeholders at the highest levels.

We believe this is a hugely exciting opportunity for an experienced consumer insights and marketing professional who enjoys a diverse range of work and is seeking further development in their career. If this sounds like the role for you, please do get in touch!

Role purpose

Organisations in the Community Finance sector (namely credit unions, community development financial institutions and social fintechs) excel at serving customers in vulnerable circumstances across the UK and are experts in their customer base. Despite their strength in serving customers, awareness of these organisations is generally low, as is penetration within their potential customer base.

The person in this role will be responsible for managing our consumer insights projects, getting to the heart of the complex and varied issues that our end consumers face, sharing this insight internally and externally and recommending (and delivering) activity that can improve the lives of people in financially vulnerable circumstances.

We are also looking for someone to support community finance providers to develop their marketing capability, increasing the effectiveness of marketing through sector wide support and helping marketing teams within organisations to develop their skills and experience. You’ll either deliver this from your own marketing expertise, or by being incisive and focused on identifying challenges and finding the right marketing specialists to support organisations. 

This role will suit someone who is passionate about putting consumers first in their work. You’ll have led consumer insights projects and have been actively involved in turning insights into action. You’ll have direct to customer marketing experience or have worked closely with marketing teams and understand the fundamentals of marketing strategy and delivery. You’ll be excited to drive change across a sector, working with organisations at differing levels of capability and working with a range of external stakeholders. You’ll be organised, often owning several project plans at once and thinking ahead to how the outputs of our work can have the most impact.

Your responsibilities

1. Managing consumer insights projects from initial brief through to delivery to ensure our product, marketing and operational work is fit for purpose and meets customer needs – 40%

This will include:

• Developing your understanding of our strategic aims and initiatives, and where new consumer insights are needed to maximise the impact of our work
• Ensuring that our broad stakeholder groups are considered in the overall brief, and in the outputs, of our work
• Being an expert in Fair4All Finance’s consumer segments, and an advocate for these internally and externally which may include running workshops to embed learnings
• Ownership of procurement of consumer insights agencies including writing briefs, managing assessment processes and contracting, working closely with our Operations team
• Working with agencies to design a clear project plan, and keeping all parties on track of both the objectives of the work and the deadlines
• Planning required deliverables, including toolkits, webinars, videos or other content, to share the outcomes of our work (working closely with our Communications team)

2. Through direct delivery and working with marketing agencies to ensure community finance providers get excellent support for marketing strategy and delivery – 30%

To increase awareness of the community finance sector, you will manage initiatives that help to develop marketing capability across the sector. This will include:

• Working with marketing agencies on the development of marketing toolkits to support capability development across the sector, including guidance on marketing performance measurement, channel strategy, brand strategy and more. This applies to marketing that is both direct to customer, and through referral routes (for example through employer or housing association partnerships with lenders as many organisations currently have these relationships but have low penetration of the membership base)
• Identifying new market and customer opportunities for the sector, monitoring market trends and delivering insights and recommended actions to support fast and effective execution
• Developing a content plan for regularly sharing knowledge to improve capability, whether directly or by procuring additional support. This could include a wide range of support for marketing leads across the sector including:
  • facilitating webinars or roundtable events on specific aspects of marketing;
  • collating best practice content, activity, practical guides and templates;
  • commissioning content that can be white labelled for use by multiple organisations eg materials for employers to use in internal communications to drive uptake of the products and services they are able to offer through partnerships with lenders for.
  • Commissioning and managing the roll out of technical product training materials which help to enable referrals from organisations to lenders to target those most in need eg engaging with housing associations, whose residents are amongst the most vulnerable, to build understanding within their teams of the benefits of community finance lending and savings products and how to refer to lenders using HM Treasury approved credit broking exemptions aimed at facilitating help getting to those who need it most

Success looks like increased brand awareness, reduced cost per acquisition and helping organisations to reach and serve a more diverse customer base (in terms of product holding, financial circumstances and into minority characteristics who we know are more likely to be excluded from mainstream financial services).

3.  Awareness raising activity for the Community Finance sector – 20%

To support our strategic priority of growing the affordable credit sector, support and lead initiatives that help grow the awareness of affordable credit. This could include working with other organisations such as Money and Pensions Service to provide content and support for their plans, or to directly lead activity that raises awareness of community finance providers through direct to customer campaigns that we deliver or fund lenders to implement using white labelled campaign collateral (for example, leading work to design one set of campaign assets that can be used by a range of providers)

You will use your consumer insights, and any previous marketing experience, to identify what successful campaigns look like and to identify where specialist agencies are required.

4. Wider content and comms support – 10%

On an ad-hoc basis, use your capability to support our Communications and Content team, such as repurposing customer insights and analysis for different audiences, supporting our social media delivery and promotion of Fair4All Finance content and events.

Person specification

• You will be passionate about our mission to increase the financial resilience of people in vulnerable circumstances, and seek continued learning and development either formally or through supporting other projects across the organisation as and when required
• You’ll be able to deal with complexity and uncertainty, and work under your own initiative

Unifrog’s mission

We’re on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to young people finding and applying for their next step after school. We're achieving this by bringing all the available information into one single, impartial, user-friendly platform that helps students to make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. We also empower teachers and counselors to manage the progression process effectively.

Our outlook is global: we work with schools and universities all over the world, from the US to New Zealand, Somaliland to Burkina Faso, Italy to Hong Kong. We want to make it so that young people can compare every opportunity taught in English, wherever it is in the world, and have all the support they need to make successful applications.

We have a clear social purpose, and we’re hugely ambitious. We already work with nearly half of UK secondary schools, and hundreds of international schools. We are growing rapidly in terms of the number of our customers, in terms of how much they use our platform, and in terms of the breadth of products we offer.

Our team is at the heart of our business and is integral to our success. We work hard to foster a culture of happiness, openness, and innovation, and we commit to helping every individual learn and grow so that they can reach their full potential. We want to hire talented people, whatever their background. If you are excited by our mission and are ready to work hard, please don’t hesitate to apply. We look forward to hearing from you! We believe in the power of diversity. If you are from an ethnic minority background, we strongly encourage you to apply. In advance of applying if you have any questions about working at Unifrog, please contact one of our Diversity Champions, Hannah or Farhana (visit our website for details).

Content at Unifrog



Whether we are communicating through image, video, animation or text, we always try to be straightforward, honest, and to show respect for the people with whom we are communicating. Clear communication is particularly important for us because our mission is to level the playing field when it comes to access to opportunities, and a big part of this effort is fair and straightforward access to information. It’s also important for us to be fun, while not talking down to young people.

Over the last few years, with only a small team, we have created more than 1,000 guides for students on topics to do with careers and PSHE, more than 250 plug-and-play teaching resources, and dozens of high quality short videos and animations. We have extremely high standards for content – everything has to be actually useful, and enjoyable.

Marketing at Unifrog

Our approach is to promote Unifrog through materials and events that offer something genuinely useful, not marketing for marketing’s sake. For example:

• We run popular webinars and virtual fairs for students and teachers, normally in partnership with universities and employers.
• We publish Insight Reports and a monthly newsletter, both of which use data analysis on Unifrog user behaviour to create actionable insights for teachers.

What you’ll lead on

You’ll have overall responsibility for ensuring that our content and marketing help us to reach our commercial and social impact objectives. This will include:

• Optimising how the content and marketing teams work, in particular:

o How content and marketing integrate with each other.

o How we come up with new ideas, get feedback, launch things, and assess their success.

o How we use data to understand how to develop our work.

• Refining our messages to different audiences, which has become increasingly important as our audiences have grown and diversified.
• Tackling some ambitious content projects we already have in the pipeline, which will involve expanding our partnership offering for universities and employers.
• Positioning Unifrog as a thought leader in the careers and destinations space, with a particular focus on:

o UK post-18 destinations (from widening participation in HE, to student engagement with apprenticeship opportunities).

o International HE recruitment.

o Young people’s priorities and concerns regarding their education and careers.

Working together

In the content and marketing teams we commonly brainstorm new ideas as a group, provide feedback on each other’s work, and get feedback from teachers and students at our partner schools. We promote good ideas regardless of where they come from.

You’ll manage our content team, which consists of experienced writers, teaching resource creators, video creators, and a graphic and motion designer.

You’ll also manage our marketing team, three people who focus mainly on our marketing collateral, the events we run and attend, and on our central communications to partners.

You’ll directly line-manage our Marketing Manager, Head of Student Content, and Head of Teacher Content. This will include conducting their 6-month performance reviews and supporting with their development goals.

In addition, you’ll work closely with people on our data insights, sales, account management, and strategy teams.

Your line manager will be Unifrog’s CEO, and some of your projects will be managed by one of Unifrog’s two Directors.

Key skills and characteristics

• Writing and editing skills

It’s essential that you are a skilled writer, easily able to create guides like this and this. You also need to be able to edit other people’s writing so that it meets the standard we need. We want someone who will put care and effort into making sure every piece of content we produce is high quality.

• Adept at feeding back on designs, images and videos

You won’t need to create designs, images or videos, but you need to be able to have an excellent eye for what looks good and what’s effective, and you need to be able to give helpful and insightful feedback.

• Creativity

We have lots of ideas for how we want content and marketing at Unifrog to develop, but you also need to come up with ideas.

• Making stuff happen

You need to be able to take an idea, run with it, and make it a reality, working with other people and overcoming any challenges along the way.

• Managing people

You need to be able to get the best out of the people you manage. Because of your high level of seniority, this will involve a fair amount of leadership – for example you’ll need to enthuse the people you manage to get behind a new project you are running.

• Project management

You’ll be creating and leading brand new, long-term, complex projects, involving multiple people, some of whom work externally to Unifrog.

• Data analysis

You won’t have to analyse data yourself, but you’ll need to be able to work with our data analysis team to make decisions about our content and marketing. You’ll need to think about what questions we need to answer, how they can be answered through data analysis, and then make decisions based on the analysis.

• Educationally and commercially minded

Our mission and our main goal, in everything we do (content and marketing included), is to create things that are helpful and useful for students. At the same time, you will also lead on developing revenue streams from our content - so you need to have an eye for what will work well commercially, and be able to balance those two objectives in the right way.

Key benefits

• Join one of ‘the best organisations to escape to in 2022’ and help transform careers and destinations in schools.
• Play a role in democratising access to learning: Unifrog makes a difference in young people’s lives. Every week you’ll have your work in front of hundreds of thousands of students, and tens of thousands of teachers.
• You’ll enjoy a significant degree of autonomy to run with your own ideas.
• Become part of a dynamic, and growing company. We want to build our team for the long term: if you do well, we will do our best to make sure you want to stay at the company for a long time. Professional development is important at Unifrog:

○ You will define your 6-month objectives and will be supported by your line manager and the rest of the team to achieve them.

○ You will have an annual training allowance to spend on what you need to grow and progress. As long as you are doing well in the role, and your line manager thinks the training makes sense for both you and the company, we’ll expect to fund whatever training you want.

• Influence the company’s direction: we love to promote great ideas, wherever they come from.
• We encourage good mental health and work life balance.
