We are recruiting for an experienced Senior Paid Media Officer within a small communications team that is always busy and punches above its weight. You will report to the Head of Communications and Engagement, working closely with all others in the team. The role will be maternity cover, likely for 12 months.
This is a revamped role, reflecting a renewed emphasis that we place on our paid media, and your work will be transformational.

You will have a track record of delivering multiple projects side-by-side and be able to adjust when new high-priority work comes in. You will be at home with the technical jargon of the digital world, but be able to interpret and translate this for colleagues across the Foundation, cutting through piles of data to spot what is important.
You will be on board with our mission to prevent child sexual abuse by working with people who have committed it or who are at risk of doing so, plus the families and professionals around them.
We appreciate not every candidate will meet every requirement for the role. If your experience looks a little different from what we’ve identified and you think you can bring value to the role, we’d love to learn more about you.

- Experience of managing and optimising multiple paid media accounts

- Experience of working between subject matter experts and external agencies
What you’ll get from us
It’s a busy year for us as we plan and launch a rebrand, overhaul our websites and deliver a national multi-channel campaign that makes a difference to society and individuals and protects children.
Your skills and experience will rapidly develop and expand as you take day-to-day responsibility for key projects, having the freedom to be our paid media expert. You will get 3 days of learning and development each year to make sure you stay on top of your game.
