You will use your top-notch communications skills and vast media knowledge to shine a light on some of the amazing things that are achieved in and around the JustGiving community: in the press, to stakeholders and to the wider public.

We see you being a news and current affairs addict with an eye for highlighting must-read stories. You will become an advocate for analytics, understanding the value of measurement and how to draw insights for future campaigns.

  • Working with JustGiving’s PR agencies to maximise opportunities in the media

About you

  • From a background in journalism, communications or politics with the ability to understand the media and how to harness it, both in traditional and online outlets
  • A social media and news junkie adept at finding must-read stories, interested in experimenting to find innovative ways to present them to an audience
  • Cool under pressure with the ability to always maintain the values of JustGiving when dealing with extraordinary circumstances/crises
  • Confident in giving advice to senior staff at all levels
  • Compassionate and empathetic, able to tell extremely emotional and empowering stories

Skills

  • A strong, adaptable writing style that understands how to speak to varying audiences while maintaining JustGiving’s unique voice
  • An ability to work in a strong (and quite vocal!) team of cross-functional marketeers while also capable of getting on with work solo
  • Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to confidently deputise for senior staff in high-level meetings
  • An ability to dig into data to create interesting and compelling insights and data-driven coverage
