Job Description
In this role, you’ll use your extensive experience of collaborating with stakeholders across large organisations to share the fascinating stories playing out every day behind the scenes, and encourage new followers to join us in our free and welcoming public spaces.
You’ll be adept at nurturing a community, calm when managing a crisis online, obsessed with the stats, and excited about emerging platforms. As an experienced shortform content creator, you’ll be an excellent communicator and expert at juggling multiple projects, keeping them on track to meet deadlines. You’ll excel at working both independently and as part of a team, managing cross-organisational stakeholder groups, and be comfortable presenting to colleagues and board members alike.

– You will work collaboratively with internal stakeholders (e.g., Brand Content Manager, Marketing Managers, departmental social media account managers, bloggers and designers) to create engaging content that tells the breadth of our stories and reflects our vision and mission.
– You will identify opportunities to innovate and better embed social media across the organisation, advising departmental sub-accounts on best practice.
