Responsibilities

As we are a small start up, each of us is involved in many areas of work. This role will involve close work with the whole team on most non-development based work. Specifically the role will include taking on some of the CEO and voting information manager’s work in the following areas:

• Maintaining internal policy documents and processes
• Manage cash-flow, finances and accounts
• Help with fundraising and sales
• Reporting to existing funders
• Organising quarterly board and team meetings
• Helping the team plan work and ensuring delivery is running smoothly
• Managing HR functions, including team development

The ideal candidates will have experience in working in strategic and leadership roles in small organisations. Understanding of UK elections, local authorities and ‘civic tech’ is useful but not required.

We are open to adapting the role to fit the right person. This includes flexibility on working hours, and supporting learning on the job.

This is a new and exciting role for the charity. After a period of extensive review, we now wish to recruit a Communications and Policy Manager to: ensure our grant-making activities have the maximum impact; drive our communications strategy; and inform the wider future strategy of the charity.

Central to the Communications and Policy Manager’s role is responsibility for delivering the charity’s communications and marketing plans. The post holder (s) will also be responsible for producing high quality information and promotional and publicity materials relating to the charity, and delivering communications with all audiences and stakeholders via various channels. 

A key initial component will be to lead a re-branding exercise to: establish a new name, logo and identity for the charity; working with web developers to create a new website; and developing the charity’s print and social media presence. The post holder (s) will drive the tendering process for this work
