Strategy and Communications Lead, Wild Isles

£48,374pa

Living Planet Centre, Woking, Surrey

This is an incredible opportunity to use your experience of developing multi-channel, integrated communications strategies to help the world’s leading independent conservation organisation and the UK’s largest nature conservation charity help save UK nature and the planet.

The Wild Isles project, built around a landmark natural history TV series to be broadcast in early 2023, is a unique partnership between WWF, the RSPB and Silverback Films. The project is aimed at inspiring people in the UK, particularly younger generations, to value and protect UK nature, and our world. It will encompass a full programme of activity incorporating public engagement, supporter growth, campaigns, advocacy and programmatic work. As Strategy & Communications Lead, you will be hosted at WWF, working across both organisations to collaborate with colleagues and our partners to ensure the project is developed and delivered effectively.

Join us and you will embed the right governance structure to keep the programme, and the projects within it, on track, on budget and aligned with our strategic priorities. Leading a small team, you will nurture key relationships, design marketing plans, oversee brand development and produce stakeholder reporting. You will also introduce key processes and tools for successful partnership management and governance. You will represent the programme at a senior level to internal and external audiences too. Important will be the ability to foster a collaborative team culture which empowers team members to make impactful things happen, within this ground-breaking partnership.

Experienced in developing multi-channel, integrated communications strategies, you will be used to managing external-facing, complex high-profile projects with big budgets. Comfortable forging partnerships with media organisations, broadcasters, production companies and charities to maximise impact, you will also excel at senior stakeholder management. Effective at managing resources, you will be a flexible thinker who is not afraid of bringing big ideas to the table. You will possess strong strategy, communication, influencing and problem-solving skills too. Experience of working with big brands and funders would be an advantage.

If you have the expertise to make this unique and critical project a success, we would love to hear from, so please visit our website via the link and complete the online registration and submit a copy of your up to date CV with cover letter highlighting why you are interested in this role as well as why this role is for you.
