We are looking for a skilled, proactive and versatile Digital Marketing & Content Manager to deliver high-quality digital communications across Iswe’s channels and those of our flagship initiatives, the Global Citizens’ Assembly and Assemblis.

You’ll join a fast-paced, globally connected team working to reshape political systems so they are fit for purpose, guided by the belief that the global crises we face stem from a deeper crisis of governance.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone ready to step up in their career and help shape the voice, reach and impact of a rapidly growing organisation.

You will work closely with teams and partners across regions, using insight and analytics to enhance reach, visibility and engagement.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role, ideal for someone energised by fast-moving environments, global collaboration, and mission-driven work.

• Create accurate, accessible technical and scientific content that supports public learning and participation, coordinating with internal teams and partner contributors, fact-checking and commissioning as needed.

• Maintain and develop visual templates, content wrappers, slide decks and brand-aligned styles.

1. Digital marketing & campaign delivery

• Lead digital campaigns to grow awareness, participation and engagement with Iswe, the Global Citizens’ Assembly and Assemblis (Iswe’s participation platform).

• Manage the end-to-end planning and delivery of content across channels, ensuring the right stories, assets and updates are published at the right moments.

• Maintain and update content across Iswe dot org, globalassemblies dot org and assemblis dot org through CMS, including Craft and Squarespace.

• Ensure all content is accurate, inclusive, and aligned with brand guidelines and accessibility best practice

• Develop and optimise user journeys, onboarding flows and email automations based on audience insight.

• Use analytics (e.g., Matomo, Google Analytics, email platform analytics) to track performance and guide improvements across websites, social channels and email platforms.

• Support SEO and discoverability by maintaining clear metadata, structured content, and optimised landing pages.

• Implement light A/B testing for messaging, templates or calls to action.

• Support tagging, segmentation and list management within email and CRM tools.

• Support internal reporting by highlighting patterns, opportunities and areas for improvement.

1. Translation & global accessibility

• Work with the Communications Director, internal teams and regional partners to shape global communication needs

• Coordinate translation workflows across multiple languages (commissioning providers or working through Iswe’s global partners) to ensure quality and consistency.

*Ordinarily Family Action appoints new starters at the starting point of the salary scale (with subsequent annual pay progression), unless you have experience that would justify appointment further up the salary scale or there are any other exceptional reasons.

We are seeking a Community Development Officer to lead a major in-progress project improving recognition, support, and care for people with smell and taste disorders at a local level across England. 

This three-year, volunteer-led programme, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund has achieved significant success in its first eighteen months. We are now recruiting a new postholder to take this strong foundation forward through the next phase of delivery. 

Over the past eighteen months, we have recruited and established a thriving network of volunteers and local groups across England. This momentum is expected to continue. The Community Development Officer will work closely with existing volunteers and groups, primarily remotely, while also attending in-person events and meetings in different parts of England as needed. 

The postholder will lead the ongoing recruitment, training, and support of volunteer groups, working with them to identify opportunities for local outreach and engagement. Together, you will ensure that more people affected by smell and taste disorders access the information, support, and recognition they need, while continuing to raise awareness of these often-unrecognised sensory impairments. 

Our volunteer groups bring together people with lived experience alongside experts from the food, beverage and fragrance sectors, and other relevant fields. 

We are looking for a motivated, forward-thinking individual with experience in leading and inspiring others. You will bring energy, creativity, and excellent communication skills to drive the project forward and help build an innovative, sustainable programme of volunteer-led activity, supporting our volunteers to influence change within their communities. 

You will empower volunteers to play an active role in transforming public understanding of how essential smell and taste are to our lives, whether they are running peer support groups, organising local events, delivering talks in community settings, or representing the charity at information days. 

You will join a small, friendly and ambitious team committed to your professional development as the charity continues to grow. 

If you are passionate about making a difference, enjoy working with people, and want to contribute to a pioneering and collaborative organisation that values and empowers its community, we would love to hear from you. We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
