Marketing & Communications Manager

Are you passionate about ending domestic abuse? Are you an ambitious self-starter with bags of ideas and the initiative to bring them to life? Do you believe in the power of marketing and storytelling to do good?

Then this could be the ideal role for you.

Surviving Economic Abuse is a small but mighty charity that is already making waves in dealing with one of society’s biggest issues: economic abuse, a devastating form of domestic abuse.

The charity is looking for a Marketing and Communications Manager to help take its work to the next level to help stop economic abuse forever.

You would be joining the charity at an exciting time. In this role, you would lead on establishing the charity’s marketing function and manage a new digital transformation project to help raise awareness of economic abuse and support the charity’s income generation.

About you

• You will have a track record increating and delivering marketing projects - from planning and content creation through to delivery, reporting and evaluation.
• You will be skilled in visual and verbal brand identity management, including embedding this consistently across an organisation.
• You will be confident in managing projects, using your interpersonal and organisational skills to get the best out of others while juggling competing priorities.

About the role

• Establish the charity’s marketing function and deliver marketing campaigns to help raise awareness of economic abuse and support income generation.
• Lead on the charity’s digital transformation project, embedding accessibility throughout and user-testing and scoping further website development.
• Support a brand refresh and act as a brand guardian by managing the charity’s brand guidelines and templates, embedding these throughout the organisation.
• Manage the charity’s website, newsletter, and online information aimed at a range of audiences, including victim-survivors and the professionals supporting them.
• Creating marketing assets, such as videos or photography, to help promote the charity’s work, including overseeing the work of two Communications Officers and commissioning freelancers where necessary.
• Work with the Experts by Experience Group, women who have experienced economic abuse, to ensure our marketing and content is survivor-centred.
• Line manage one Communications Officer, oversee the work of a freelance digital consultant and web developer, and project manage communications campaigns with a marketing and content focus.

About Surviving Economic Abuse

At Surviving Economic Abuse, we deal with one of society’s biggest issues. Last year, 5.5 million UK women reported that a current or former partner had controlled their economic resources – money and the things it can buy such as food, clothing, transportation, and housing.

Through economic control, abusers limit women’s freedom, they steal their futures, and, in far too many cases, they take their lives. Yet too few people are aware of economic abuse – even those who experience it.

We are the only UK charity dedicated to raising awareness of economic abuse and transforming responses to it. The speed and scale of our growth since 2017 are evidence of how much we are needed. We may be young, but we are already creating big waves.

What we offer you

We offer a range of benefits including:

• Remote working with occasional travel for all-team days
• 25 days annual leave (pro rata) plus bank holidays 
• 5 'Wellbeing Days'
• Pension scheme 
• Enhanced maternity & paternity pay 
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) offering free, confidential advice or support with any personal or work related concerns
• Reflective practice
