What you’ll be doing…

Our highly skilled, dynamic creative team work across a range of briefs, delivering impactful content to build b rand love, raise money, and engage supporters – from Instagram reels, to the production of brand adverts, to high-quality impact reports. Variety of work and fast pace will be the norm.

Working alongside internal teams, you’ll negotiate demands whilst maintaining great working relationships, and ensure that content is delivered on time and to budget through solid production processes and workflows.

Managing a production team of two, you’ll develop smart ways of working and effectively manage resources to ensure the best possible balance of the in-house team and external freelance and agency partners.

This exciting role offers flexible working between home and our London head office in Moorgate.

Meet the team…

Reporting to the Head of Creative Content, you’ll be joining our diverse and hugely talented creative content team – made up of production, designers, copywriters, film and photography producers and editors and story-gatherers. (We were also named the in-house creative team of the year in 2021 at the Inside Out awards, in case you missed it…)

Your previous experience and excellent skills from the industry, either in-house or agency (and ideally having worked with NGO/non-profit clients) will ensure you can hit the ground running.

This role might be for you if…

You are passionate about working with a talented in-house creative team and want to put your love of excellent planning processes and production workflows to good use.

Your substantial experience working across a busy team in a fast-paced organisation, paired with your excellent influencing and negotiation skills to drive the best outcome, will enable you to plan and prioritise projects in line with our organisation’s strategy.

You’ll be a strong problem-solver, who’s no stranger to dealing with finite budgets and resources.

Your knowledge of maintaining excellent production workflows, right through from brief to delivery, and using smart tools and processes, will ensure a smooth delivery.

You’ll play a leading role in, and genuinely enjoy, helping to build a culture of collaboration and learning across the organisation – by working directly with peers and stakeholders, enabling great communication and constructive feedback, encouraging brilliant briefs and proactively using results to optimise content and inform or inspire the next creative solution.

Closing date for applications is 23:59 on 14th September 2022 with interviews to take place w/c 26th September.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits, including:

• 36 days holiday (including Bank Holidays) • Option to buy an extra 5 days annual leave • Up to 6% contributory pension • Flexible working policy
