At The Bay Foodbank, we believe no one in our community should go hungry or face crisis alone. We provide emergency food support, reduce food waste, and work with partners to build a stronger, more resilient community.

We are now looking for an Engagement and Development Manager to join our Senior Leadership Team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about community impact, experienced in stakeholder engagement and fundraising, and ready to help shape the future of the foodbank.

About the Role
As Engagement and Development Manager, you will:
 Lead on fundraising and income generation, developing strategies to secure support from donors, grants, community events, and corporate partnerships.
 Build and nurture relationships with partners, supporters, volunteers, and the wider community.
 Develop and deliver marketing and communications campaigns to raise awareness of our work.

If you are motivated, proactive, and ready to make a difference, we would love to hear from you.

Closing Date: Monday 27th October 2025
Interviews: Tuesday 04th - Wednesday 05th November 2025.

About the Role

We’re looking for a sharp, collaborative and digitally fluent professional who’s ready to hit the ground running. The Digital Senior Manager will be a vital part of Bite Back’s digital machine — managing the tools that power our public voice, supporter journeys and campaigning infrastructure. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives on structure, loves solving digital puzzles, and is hungry to stay at pace with a fast-moving sector. You’ll manage everything from email platforms and analytics dashboards to website fixes, software access and performance insights. You’ll also contribute to campaign execution, helping to implement digital actions with power and polish — including ad support and post-launch optimisation. 

You will also take a data‑driven approach to strengthening Bite Back’s digital presence — analysing performance, optimising our campaigns, and ensuring our digital channels work seamlessly together. From managing website and email systems to supporting paid campaigns and supplier relationships, you’ll keep our platforms effective, insight‑led and future‑ready. It’s a role for someone who combines technical fluency with creative curiosity, able to turn analytics into action and digital systems into impact.

If you’re numbers-driven, systems-confident, energised by back-end delivery, and excited to work across a youth-led movement that makes real noise, this is your moment.

Purpose of the Role

This role sits at the heart of a collaborative, fast-moving team, supporting others to deliver brilliant digital campaigns while owning the technical foundations that make it all possible. You will lead Bite Back’s digital strategy delivery during a period of parental leave. You will also lead reporting and insights for the Digital Communications team, designing and implementing PPC and SEO strategies, and project managing website development projects. Additionally, you will manage the budget for the website, email marketing and social media.

You’ll need strong organisational skills to stay on top of multiple platforms, confident communication to coordinate with suppliers and teammates, and the initiative to lead on projects or solve issues independently. While much of your work will involve behind-the-scenes problem-solving, you’ll be a vital partner to colleagues across campaigns, content and operations. We’re looking for someone who is comfortable taking the lead on digital strategies and operations, but equally happy working as part of a team that values clarity, trust and shared ambition.

Join us as Senior Public Affairs Manager, leading our national public affairs activity, influencing the government to help deliver evidence-based policies that will make a real difference to children’s health. This is an exciting opportunity to work on the forefront of an urgent and politically significant policy area while also collaborating with young people to ensure their voices and lived experiences are heard by policymakers. 

This is an exciting time to join Bite Back and take our public affairs strategy forward with the Government. We have already seen significant policy wins in the past year and have big ambitions to drive more progress in 2026. In 2024 and 2025 our youth activists gave evidence to the House of Lords, hosted parliamentary drop-in sessions and a mock inquiry, and made memorable appearances at party conference fringe sessions. This is an opportunity to build on that success and raise Bite Back’s profile even further amongst policymakers at a time when the Government is charting its new strategic approach to improving the food system as well as its 10 year plan to save the NHS. The Senior Public Affairs Manager will report to our Director of Advocacy & Strategy and be responsible for developing and implementing all our public affairs activity, ensuring alignment with our campaigns team and working closely with our partners in other organisations to bring about meaningful change. This is a great opportunity for someone looking for the chance to lead high profile public affairs activity at an organisation with growing impact.

Skills and Experience 

The ideal candidate would have the following:

Essential

• A demonstrable track record of working in public affairs in an agency, in-house or in Parliament

• Comfort and familiarity engaging with senior political stakeholders of all parties

• Excellent knowledge of the UK political landscape including the working of Westminster, Whitehall and existing relationships with MPs and advisors

• The ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and respond flexibly to adapt strategies to fit rapidly changing political landscapes

• An action oriented, results driven, well organised approach

• Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to adapt messages and language to resonate with different audiences

• A passion for young people’s health, nutrition and social justice

• A commitment to Bite Back’s values: Fresh, Resilient, Respectful, Energetic, Real

Desirable

• Experience in utilising online support to deliver off-line change; Bite Back has a dynamic and growing supporter base that we want to integrate into our wider influencing work 

• Knowledge of the Scottish political landscape
