JOB OVERVIEW
The Royal Academy of Arts is currently looking to appoint a Communications Officer (CRM, Loyalty & Marketing) to join our Content, Communications & Campaigns department on a fixed term contract basis for 3 months. The Communications Officer will play a crucial role in the delivery of exceptional, audience focused campaigns, increasing engagement, loyalty and conversion. This role will deliver across a range of owned, earned and paid channels with the aim of driving maximum engagement and brand awareness for the RA.
ABOUT YOU
To be considered for this role you will have previous experience delivering effective marketing activity across different channels including developing copy and content for email newsletters, paid social and other digital marketing. Experience in using data and understanding audience segments to inform campaign planning is essential as is the ability to effectively prioritise and organise a broad range of tasks and build and maintain excellent relationships.
THE COMPANY
The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George III to help them to ‘establish a society for promoting the Art of Design’. The original academy in Pall Mall was less than 10 meters long. Since then, there have been many changes, though the RA’s core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true. Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development, with courses such as Unconscious Bias, LGBTQ+ Awareness, Bystander and Mental Health First Aid training, we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups, Ways In Groups and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO. The RA is truly a unique place, both as an attraction to our visitors, but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do, and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions, curators, art handlers, researchers, publishers, digital to schools and education, visitor welcome, fundraisers and corporate support.
