We are the national body for careers education in England, delivering support to schools and colleges to deliver modern, 21st century careers education.

Do you want to be part of a mission-driven team focused on transforming young people’s lives? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
Role summary:
We require a digital marketing and communications professional to have overall managerial responsibility for CEC’s corporate digital communications channels and support our wider marketing work through leading key distinct audience engagement projects in line with our strategic priorities.
World class careers education requires engaging lots of institutions, stakeholders and audiences (e.g. education, employers, providers) to work together in a focused, strategic and coordinated way for young people across the country. Our communications and engagement work has a fundamental role to play to support the ‘system’ and its actors (from policy and practice) within it.
This role requires a blend of strategic oversight and day-to-day execution. You’ll need to be comfortable moving between big-picture planning and hands-on delivery. You will help us translate our organisational strategy into targeted digital engagement across our corporate digital channels (website, social and email) in the most effective and impactful way to a) support hard working system actors (e.g. educators, employers, providers, careers hubs) and b) tell our story as a system and thought leader.
Essential criteria:
Hands-on channel delivery - experience working in a busy marketing & communications team which includes significant focus on digital channels including social media (either in-house or agency).
Creative content planning - experience and knowledge of creating powerful, diverse, engaging and impactful digital content including using analytics to inform future planning.
Content production leadership - experience in content creation, such as gathering case studies, managing photographers and videographers and working with graphic designers to produce visual content for use across all channels.
Insight-driven decision making - proficient in using a range of digital tools such as Sprout Social, Marketing Cloud, Google Analytics, HotJar, and X analytics to optimise performance.
Paid social expertise - knowledge and experience of using paid social ads on LinkedIn and Facebook.
