Senior Brand Campaign Manager (6 Months Fixed Term)

Job Introduction

This six-month project role is pivotal in helping Diabetes UK meet our mission over the next five years. You will be responsible for delivering a multi-channel brand marketing campaign, which helps us to connect emotionally with the millions of people affected by, and at risk of diabetes in the UK.

You’ll work within the marketing and communications department as the lynchpin of the campaign, inspiring colleagues and activating opportunities that help us reach the millions that need us now more than ever, ensuring we make a bigger impact through our work.

You’ll collaborate with a passionate team of specialists across a range of disciplines to create a powerful and distinctive creative campaign, which wins both hearts and minds.

Interview Date: 4/5 Feb 2021

Role Responsibility

This role is responsible for delivering an inspiring integrated, multi-channel brand marketing campaign from creative concept to evaluation – a first of its kind for Diabetes UK.

We’re looking for someone that’s experienced in campaign management from end to end; managing creative development and production, marketing planning, integrated delivery, communication and optimisation.

You’ll be a key member of the Brand & Creative team but work remotely (most likely) with a huge range of internal and external stakeholders, collaborating with colleagues to maximise the value of engagement through excellent supporter journeys and innovative activation.

You’ll be able to ruthlessly prioritise opportunities to ensure we put our effort where it matters most, whilst ensuring the campaign seamlessly integrates with existing communication and operational projects across the Diabetes UK portfolio.

You’ll know exactly how to engage our beneficiaries and partners alike, and be able to empower them with tools that help us reach millions more than through media alone.

The Ideal Candidate

This is a short-term role and diabetes is a complicated condition – it’s important that you’re able to absorb new information quickly and adapt to changing and emerging priorities.

You will be an experienced marketer or brand manager, with a proven ability to bring together people and ideas to create compelling stories across multiple paid, owned and earned channels. An adept project manager, you’ll be able to manage deadlines and competing priorities with ease, meeting challenges with a proactive and calm approach.

You’ll know how to collaborate effectively, bringing together people with different skills and experiences to add value, whilst driving the project with momentum and motivating those around you with a common goal.

A confident communicator, you’ll enjoy bringing both creative ideas as well as complex data to life for a variety of audiences, ensuring high engagement and buy-in from your stakeholders.

Most of all, you’ll be as passionate as we are about making a tangible difference for millions of people living with or at risk of diabetes, by bringing our purpose to life, helping to turn awareness into action for a future where diabetes does no harm.
