Digital Channels Manager
UK-based/Flexible
The Organisation
We are the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.
Right now, our ocean is at a tipping point. We're polluting our waters and destroying precious habitats. We're harming the species that live there. This is reducing the ocean's ability to help fight the climate crisis. While a third of UK seas are protected on paper, less than 1% are well managed. We are determined to change this. Using people-powered action and with science on our side, we defend habitats and species, working with communities, businesses and governments to encourage ocean-based climate action solutions across the UK.
We are now looking for a Digital Channels Manager to join us on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week, for a fixed term contract to cover a period of maternity leave.
The Benefits
- Salary of £29,500 - £34,000 per annum pro rata
- Annual leave starting at 25 days per year, plus Bank Holidays (we also close between Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
- 6% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
- Sick pay at full-pay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at half-pay (after probation ends)
- Great work life balance through flexible and in many cases, remote working
- Support for your health and wellbeing with a programme of activities plus an employee assistance programme for you and the people who live with you
This is a fantastic opportunity for a creative and strategically minded individual with proven digital experience to join our passionate organisation.
In this pivotal role, you will lead the charge in enhancing our digital presence and spreading the word of our vital cause, directly supporting our mission to protect and restore the health of our ocean and ensure a sustainable future for marine life and communities.
