Our programmes aim to help and empower disadvantaged communities in the UK and abroad; some of the key areas we work in are emergency response, WASH, education, livelihood and environment conservation.

- Holiday entitlement of 30 days per financial year (for full-time roles; includes bank holidays entitlement – due to the nature of the role, you may be required to work on bank holidays)

The Role

We are looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Marketing & Projects Coordinator to join our high-performing marketing function at Islamic Help. This is a unique role that sits at the intersection of project management, internal communications, and marketing delivery.

You will not be solely responsible for designing social media posts, editing videos, or running ad campaigns - we already have expert teams in place for that. However, you will be invited into those processes, with opportunities to observe, contribute, and grow. We are always open to ideas that improve our work, and there is definitely scope for development in this area of marketing over time.

The core of this role is to co-ordinate, connect, and communicate - ensuring that everything runs smoothly, projects are delivered on time, and the many moving parts of the marketing department stay aligned.

This role doesn’t require deep experience in marketing execution. At its heart, it’s a project management and stakeholder coordination position. However, it’s ideal for someone with an interest in marketing and communications who wants to gain exposure and experience across a full marketing ecosystem - including brand, paid media, video, SEO, digital infrastructure, and more - in a fast-paced, mission- and results-driven environment.

You’ll work closely with the Director of Marketing & Technology, the Senior Marketing Officer, and a broad mix of outsourced specialists, including Google Ads experts, SEO consultants, graphic designers, videographers, performance marketers, and UI/UX professionals.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a structured, high-output setting, wants to be part of work that makes a real difference globally, and is eager to gain deep experience in the full A-Z of how a professional marketing team functions.

Key Responsibilities

Project Coordination

• Track and manage marketing projects from inception to completion, ensuring they are delivered on time, to spec, and aligned with brand standards
• Coordinate between internal departments and external specialists (e.g. video teams, print houses, performance marketing agencies)
• Schedule meetings, follow up on action points, and ensure teams stay on track
• Maintain clarity on project timelines, tasks, ownerships, and deadlines
• Manage platforms such as Asana, Hootsuite, and shared file systems to monitor workflow and progress.

Internal Communication & Stakeholder Liaison

• Gather marketing-related needs from other departments across the organisation
• Clarify briefs, manage expectations, and feed this information to relevant creatives or external vendors
• Ensure alignment between campaign objectives and deliverables
• Flag blockers or conflicts early and work with senior leadership to resolve them.

Marketing Support (Fluency, Not Ownership)

• Engage with marketing tools and channels (e.g. Hootsuite, social platforms, content schedules), not as the creator, but as a coordinator
• Analyse and review creative outputs (e.g. social posts, videos, copy) for basic accuracy, alignment, and tone
• Provide constructive feedback or flag potential issues to relevant team members
• Respond to or escalate social media engagement (e.g. DMs, comment moderation) when needed.

Research & Trend Monitoring

• Conduct market research to identify trends, opportunities, or gaps within the sector
• Feed relevant insight to the Senior Marketing Officer and Director to help shape campaign direction
• Monitor sector activity and competitor positioning.

• Exceptional time management and organisational skills
