Campaign Planning Quality & Governance

· Lead consistent campaign briefing, prioritisation and review processes.

· Ensure Gold and Silver tier campaigns are properly planned, resourced and evaluated.

· Improve planning quality across teams, reducing late-stage changes and rework.

Cross-Organisational Leadership

· Coordinate input from Fundraising, Comms, Brand, Digital, Policy and Insight.

· Build strong working relationships and act as a trusted planning partner to Heads and Directors.

· Enable teams to focus on delivery by providing clarity, structure and coordination.

· Collaboration and briefing of media agency, creative and external partners to ensure visibility and understanding of priorities

People management

· Accountable for team development and line management of Senior Marketing Effectiveness Officer, including career development, performance reviews.

· Ensure outputs from Senior Marketing Effectiveness Officer are translated into strategy and activated in delivery.

Key Outputs

· Respected ownership of a single, trusted marketing plan and calendar actively used across the organisation.

· Effective, well-timed campaigns and clearer prioritisation.

· Improved confidence from senior leaders in marketing decision-making.

· Proactive planning and increased scheduling of external activity that makes the most of brand halo effect.

· Cross organisational planning forums that enable decisions.

What we are looking for:

· Significant experience leading multi-channel marketing or communications planning across multiple teams or functions.

· Strong understanding and experience of marketing planning frameworks, campaign cycles, and processes that support integrated delivery.

· Experience developing and implementing planning tools such as calendars, tiering frameworks, briefing processes, and governance systems.

· Demonstrable project management and organisational skills, with proven ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.

· Experience of facilitating cross-functional collaboration and influencing stakeholders at all levels.

About you 

You'll be an English qualified lawyer with broad experience across a range of areas, including some or all of charity and fundraising laws, corporate governance, commercial contracts, intellectual property, IT and corporate law.   

Ideally, you'll bring experience in an in-house legal role (including in a charity context) with some experience of working in international contexts.

To be successful, it is important that you have:

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

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.
