Making The Leap is an innovative societal change charity that aims to make a big difference. From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be. To say that this is an exciting time for the organisation would be an understatement, as our incredible funders, donors, partners and supporters have given us the chance to move to the next level, and have further influence and delivery nationally.
We provide skills training, school and mentoring programmes, and partner with businesses who want to drive forward social mobility via learning programmes, internships, job opportunities and more.
Our aim is to ensure everyone has access to a good standard of living and equality of opportunity, no matter what their or their parents’ occupation or background is.
We are looking for a Communications Manager to play a key role in shaping and delivering communications and marketing activity across supporter and corporate audiences.
We are based in London and support young people via our direct delivery programmes. We take what we learn from our work and use it to inspire businesses across the UK to do more to improve social mobility (making sure people from all backgrounds get fair opportunities).
We do this by:
· Running large events like The UK Social Mobility Awards to celebrate companies doing it well.
· Organising Social Mobility Day to raise awareness.
· Publishing The Social Mobility Podcast and Social Mobility List to share ideas and highlight role models.
This role sits within the Marketing Communications team and supports the Head of Communications to deliver audience-centred communications and marketing that increases visibility, engagement and impact.
You will lead day-to-day marketing and communications activity, developing audience journeys and delivering targeted, campaigns, with a strong focus on email, digital content and social media.
You will work closely with colleagues across the charity to ensure marketing effectively supports organisational priorities.
You will contribute to several key priorities, including the 10th UK Social Mobility Awards, the development of our email marketing, and a strengthened storytelling approach centred on impact.
**Please note we will consider exceptional applicants without the required experience for an executive role.
