How to applyFull job description

The role

You'll be our first (and only!) hire specifically in marketing. All our marketing up to now has been done part-time on the side by the co-founders or by Jess and Ceci in our partnerships team.

Your job will be extremely varied, and give you lots of chances to really get stuck in with the details, but also to zoom out to the wider strategy and plan.

What you’ll do

Conferences and events

  • Researching and creating a calendar of events in our industry we should attend. In the past, we've been to Solace, political party conferences, Stronger Things, LGA, SCVO's The Gathering, etc.
  • Negotiating with event organizers for sponsorship opportunities
  • Designing key messages and marketing material to display and give out
  • Running and attending events, including the boring bits: booking trains, setting up stands, printing out leaflets

Thought-leadership content

  • We would love to publish content more frequently and to expand its distribution

We infrequently publish content on our blog about the sector as a whole, going into detail about how things could work better.

Sales collateral

  • Keeping information about the platform up to date, for charities, Local Governments, Housing Associations and Foundations
  • Showcasing what we've heard from existing customers

Working with local partners

  • Delivering webinars to local organizations with the many partners who are happy to host them, and talking about what we can help charities with

Shaping a wider strategy

  • Deciding and iterating on how we describe a product that delivers a lot of value, but also has a lot of different component parts
  • Targeting our messaging to particular parts of the sector, and working out how best we can do that with limited resources

Testing new approaches

  • Being creative with how we can draw attention to what we do, but applying a rigorous process to testing and experimenting so we can truly learn what's working

What we’re looking for

For this role

  • This isn't (currently) a managerial role: you'll need to do a lot of the hard work yourself, before we look to expand the team or bring in outside agencies.

In every interview

To make this easier for both us and you, we're going to be very clear about what we're looking for, and what we're not interested in.

  1. Plain language

    We'll take it as given that you're hard-working, details-oriented and a good communicator. Skip the buzzwords and the pre-prepared competency answers.

  2. Impressiveness

    We want to hear about the things you've done that no one else asked for, that no one else thought of, or that no one else could do.

  3. Excitement

    We want to talk about the things you're excited about or obsessed with. Even if they're a bit weird. Perhaps especially if they're a bit weird.

  4. Curiosity

    We know you won't have heard much about us. We'd be surprised if you didn't have questions about what we do, how we work and what we're aiming for.

  5. Ambition

    Finally, we're looking for people who have big ambitions for themselves, and who are happy to think big about the impact they can have. We'll do our best to help you get there.
