The Basics

Our training programme is growing and we need someone to own it — not follow our process, but develop it further. That means new courses, an institutional offer, and growing the number of people we reach. You'll be shaping how the sector learns to communicate and building something with a real community behind it.

About us

Cast from Clay is a communications consultancy for those who work on policy change. Most good ideas in the world of policy never make it to the desk of a decision-maker. That’s where we come in.

Our training program – including courses like Communicate to Persuade and Generative AI for Policy Communicators – is a key part of how we help the sector get their ideas unstuck. We want to grow this offer, but we need someone to own the engine behind it. You can find out more about our courses on our website. 

The role

As Training Programme Lead, you will be responsible for:

• Growth: Owning the programme's growth strategy, including building an institutional offer for think tanks, foundations, funders, and NGOs.

• Marketing: Running the promotion of our public courses across social channels and professional networks to hit recruitment targets.

• Operations: Managing the student journey, from onboarding and payments to platform management (LMS).

• Development: Working with our course leaders to spot new opportunities and expand what we offer.

• Community: Keeping our alumni community engaged and supported alongside the wider team.

This is a 2 day per week commitment (with opportunity to increase the time as the programme grows).

Who you are

You’ll be someone who knows the world of foundations and non-profits well, you’ve probably worked in a few. Ideally, you’ve got a sense of the kinds of skills that these organisations need to develop (and that a communications consultancy could train on). You’ll also be comfortable in a marketing and sales context, able to argue why an organisation should invest in our training platform, and what benefit it will provide to them.

You will be:

• Intellectually curious: You care about how ideas impact the world

• Commercially minded: You have experience in business development or selling professional services

• A self-starter: You can take a brief and run with it with very little hand-holding

• Facilitation experience: You've run workshops or trainings before and can hold a room.

• Marketing expertise: You understand how to promote a programme, how to build an audience across professional networks, and when to bring in additional expertise (e.g. SEO, PPC specialists) 

• Tech-literate: You’re comfortable managing digital platforms, payments, and comms tools. Experience with Howspace is an advantage.
