About Us

 

When large-scale disasters hit countries without the capacity to respond, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) brings together 14 leading UK aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently. In these times of crisis, people in life-and-death situations need our help and our mission is to save, protect and rebuild lives through effective humanitarian response.

 

We are now looking for a Content Manager to join our team.

The Role

 

As Content Manager, you will join a small, dynamic team and work in a key capacity to launch high-profile national fundraising appeals. You’ll be telling the story of people affected by disasters and how our funding helps them and their communities to recover.

 

Your role will be split into two main areas: work outside of appeals and activities during appeals. During appeals, you will manage the social media team and content librarian, overseeing all social output and content flow through creative agencies.

 

Outside of appeals, you will spend the majority of your time developing text, image and video content for our social channels. You will also support content commissioning, process inbound content and provide an editorial service across our organisation.
