About us
Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. 24 hours a day, every day, RNLI lifesavers are ready to launch to the rescue.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to shape and lead the RNLI’s celebrity engagement function as part of our newly established Brand and Digital Engagement team. With no dedicated Celebrity Manager in post for several years, this role offers a rare chance for a strategic and creative professional to redefine and elevate our approach to celebrity involvement.
The RNLI already benefits from the support of a number of well-known individuals, currently engaged in a relatively limited capacity. The successful candidate will be responsible for building on these relationships, securing new talent, and developing impactful activity that aligns with our strategic priorities and long-term ambitions.
About you
We are seeking an individual with significant experience in talent relations, PR, brand partnerships, or a related field, ideally within the nonprofit, entertainment, or advocacy sectors. You will bring strong networks, a proven ability to engage high-profile individuals and their representatives, and a track record of delivering complex campaigns involving public figures.
