· Ensure outputs from Senior Marketing Effectiveness Officer are translated into strategy and activated in delivery.
Key Outputs
· Respected ownership of a single, trusted marketing plan and calendar actively used across the organisation.
· Effective, well-timed campaigns and clearer prioritisation.
· Improved confidence from senior leaders in marketing decision-making.
· Proactive planning and increased scheduling of external activity that makes the most of brand halo effect.
· Cross organisational planning forums that enable decisions.
What we are looking for:
· Significant experience leading multi-channel marketing or communications planning across multiple teams or functions.

The Wildlife Trusts are a grassroots movement of people from a wide range of backgrounds and all walks of life, who believe that we need nature and nature needs us. We have more than 944,000 members, over 38,000 volunteers, 3,600 staff and 600 trustees. There are 46 individual Wildlife Trusts, each of which is a place-based independent charity with its own legal identity, formed by groups of people getting together and working with others to make a positive difference to wildlife and future generations, starting where they live and work.
Every Wildlife Trust is part of The Wildlife Trusts federation and a corporate member of the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, a registered charity in its own right founded in 1912 and one of the founding members of IUCN – the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Taken together this federation of 47 charities is known as The Wildlife Trusts.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we all live in. We need to urgently reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. We recognise that this will require big, bold changes in the way The Wildlife Trusts work, not least in how we mobilise others and support them to organise within their own communities
