Join to apply for the Media Manager - London/York/Hybrid role at TieTalent
Salary: £45,390.80 per annum, plus £5000 London weighing if applicable
Permanent, Full Time (35 hours per week)
Do you want to make change happen?
Join our small, dedicated media team at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) and help create a world free from poverty.
We’re looking for a Media Manager who can identify compelling news stories that resonate with the mainstream media and political debates. You’ll thrive in shaping strategy, working with colleagues to turn great policy ideas into media successes. You should be forward-thinking, eager to navigate the evolving media landscape, and explore new ways to engage the public.
Purpose of the role
As a Media Manager, you’ll craft and execute media strategies that influence public and political opinion, foster relationships with key journalists, and elevate JRF’s mission. Your work will directly impact the national conversation on poverty, driving change and social justice.
What We’re Looking For
We need someone with media experience—whether from a newsroom or a press office—and the flexibility to quickly adapt to various topics. Specialism is a plus, but versatility is key. You’ll work across JRF’s complex projects, collaborating with both internal teams and external partners.
Your unique perspective—whether from experience with low income or insights on how we can better support those facing poverty—will be valuable. We’re keen to hear how you can improve our media efforts.
We support flexible working arrangements, including hybrid options, especially for those who may find working in the office challenging, but as a busy media team we prefer to work together in our York and London offices. We also offer part-time options and are open to appointing two part-time staff to fill the full-time role.
How To Apply
If you share our passion and this role sounds like you, then we’re looking forward to hearing from you.
Please submit your CV and supporting information via our online application platform.
The closing date for applications is 25th August 2025.
Interviews will take place week commencing 8th September 2025.
About Us
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) is dedicated to ending poverty in the UK by developing innovative policy solutions, supporting communities to identify and address their needs, and campaigning for systemic change. Through research, advocacy, and partnerships, JRF seeks to accelerate the transition to a fairer, more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, with a focus on improving the lives of those most affected by poverty.

We are committed to being an anti-racist organisation and operate an anonymised recruitment process so that bias is eliminated from the shortlisting process.
