We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

We are seeking a dynamic and collaborative marketing Senior Campaign Manager to lead our flagship perception change campaign This is Engineering, and in doing so to help us tackle the longstanding skills and diversity shortfall in engineering by attracting more young people, from all backgrounds, into the profession.

This is Engineering is a long-term marketing campaign, launched in 2018, that has already had a measurable impact on young people; at its most successful it has increased teens’ likelihood to consider a career in engineering by 85%. A finalist in Third Sector’s Communications Campaign of the Year, This is Engineering is recognised as a genuinely pioneering campaign in the profession and has drawn widespread support from organisations including Rolls-Royce, Amazon, and Google.

The role

As Senior Campaign Manager, you will use your digital marketing expertise to lead This is Engineering into its next phase, helping us to keep the campaign creative fresh, maintain its relevance to teenagers, and grow its reach through increasingly effective channel choice and targeting. You will also help shape the development of a community of This is Engineering champions – young engineers who co-create content with us to share on their own channels as well as ours to reach new audiences. You will work with colleagues and partners to make sure that This is Engineering is changing perceptions well beyond digital channels too: in schools, through STEM ambassadors, at events, and through other marketing and partner channels. 

Working alongside the Academy’s media and digital communications teams, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering National Engineering Day, a national awareness day spun out of This is Engineering to celebrate the impact that engineers have on our lives and broaden public perceptions of engineering. Now in its fourth year, National Engineering Day, formerly known as This is Engineering Day, has consistently mobilised engineers, engineering organisations and influencers across social media to spread the word about engineering, and gained widespread media coverage across broadcast, print and online titles.

Who are we looking for?

You will be an experienced marketing campaign manager with specific expertise in digital marketing and - ideally - experience in running campaigns that have successfully engaged teenagers. You will balance creativity and energy with strong project management skills and a talent for engaging with senior stakeholders. You will be passionate about helping young people shape their futures, and about the opportunities, engineering can offer them.

While marketing is your core expertise area, you will be comfortable working across and alongside a range of communications disciplines and drawing on expertise from these disciplines to develop integrated campaigns. And you'll be a natural collaborator - keen not only to collaborate with colleagues, but also to build networks beyond the Academy in order to increase the reach of the campaign through partnership, keep up to date with best practice and the needs of our community and audiences.

Who are we?

The Royal Academy of Engineering is a charity that brings together exceptional engineers, technologists and innovators to harness the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone. We collaborate with our Fellows and partners to meet this ambition in three ways: by growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation and building global partnerships, influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

With a diverse workforce and an inclusive and supportive culture, we look to attract candidates from wide and different backgrounds who have a passion for the role engineering plays in society. Our aim is to make the Academy the best place to work for the staff we have and those we seek to attract.

Why work for the Royal Academy of Engineering?

We’re looking for people who are driven to make the world a better place. If you’re passionate about what you do and want to work collaboratively with talented colleagues to make change happen, now and for future generations, we want you to get in touch.

This is the perfect time to join us. We have a dynamic, visionary CEO, a strong leadership team and an ambitious and exciting strategy. The value we bring as experts in our field and change agents is highly recognised and makes the Academy a motivating place to be. Our work today builds on a long, proud history with a focused and ambitious future which we’d love you to be part of.

We are looking for talented people who want to make a difference to join our team – is this you?

• BUPA cash plan

Education Partnerships Group

Senior Programme Managers

Location: Nairobi, Lusaka, Cape Town, Abidjan, Freetown, Accra or London, with international travel. Other locations in Sub-Saharan Africa will be considered

Salary: Competitive

Education Partnerships Group (EPG) is a non-profit consultancy that supports governments in low- and middle-income countries to shape and strengthen their education systems. Our vision is a world in which all children go to school and learn.

At the heart of our approach is the belief that governments are best placed to make decisions about their country. Our role is to enable those decisions by generating and using research to ensure policy is informed by evidence, facilitating the design and effective implementation of policy, and advising on the piloting and scaling of new policy reforms. We are pursuing growth over the coming years to respond to significant demand from governments for a different type of partnership, and are seeking Senior Programme Managers to work closely with our Director of Programmes and wider team. These are critical hires which will help us grow our organisation, our impact and our reputation.

As such we're looking for candidates who are passionate about addressing the global learning crisis, understand how governments work and think, and have the drive and creativity to help us develop and support our teams to pursue our ambitious mission. You don't need to be a technical expert, but you do need to have experience of policymaking or consultancy around policy.

We're looking for people who can lead diverse teams in a range of countries, to help them identify and seize opportunities for impact. As a small organisation we need people who can get stuck into the day-to-day work with teams while seizing opportunities for more strategic work such as external engagements, new business development and organisational learning and development.

Applicants should bring a commitment to improving education quality for all, a Masters' degree in a relevant area (eg. public policy, education, international development) and experience in international development or international consulting, including leading the design and delivery of complex projects. In addition, the successful candidates will have a track record of working directly with governments and the public policy process in low- or middle-income countries and the management capability to lead small and agile teams. Direct experience in global education and fluency in French are desirable but not essential.

If you believe in policy as a key lever of change in education outcomes and meet the above criteria then we would like to hear from you.

To learn more about this unique opportunity, and to find out how to apply, please read the full appointment brief, on the Prospectus website, which can be reached by clicking on the “Apply on Website” Button.
