Marketing and Communications Executive (2564)

RSPCA Assured is celebrating over 30 years of improving the lives of farmed animals.

In that time, we're proud to have worked with thousands of farmers - and all of the UK's biggest supermarkets - to help improve the lives of millions of animals.

Every year, we assess almost 4,000 farms and other scheme members to ensure they meet strict RSPCA animal welfare standards - building a better life for farm animals.

So when you see an RSPCA Assured label on meat, fish, eggs or milk products, it means the animal was cared for according to the RSPCA's standards from birth to slaughter.

Our vision is a world where all farmed animals are respected and treated with kindness and compassion - and that's what we work towards every day.

We're looking for a marketing and communications executive to join our team and help us bring our new brand and cultural mindsets to life internally and externally.

• Contract: Permanent 
• Working hours: 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
• Hybrid role: You will work from home and either the London or Horsham office. For this role, there is a requirement to work from the Horsham office every Wednesday.

This is a key support role, where you'll be involved in a wide range of marketing and communications activities. You'll be responsible for leading or supporting on activities including:

• Managing email communications, including e-newsletters for both internal and external audiences
• Creating digital content for our website, social media and email campaigns
• Managing branded materials, from briefing agencies to overseeing the production and stock of literature and merchandise
• Handling artwork enquiries and approvals.

You'll play a crucial role in providing data-driven insights and:

• Monitor and analyse data from various platforms, including Google Analytics
• Create insight decks and quarterly updates to inform strategic decisions
• Conduct research using polling software like Survey Monkey or external agencies when needed.

Your work will be vital in helping us achieve our marketing and communications goals, including increasing brand awareness and building trust with our stakeholders. 

You'll support the team with daily tasks, such as:

• Liaising with colleagues and partners to gather information and assets
• Assisting with internal communications and events
• Responding to web, email, and social media enquiries
• Managing project logistics, including setting up meetings and raising purchase orders
• Supporting our ambassador program by helping to arrange photo and video shoots.

To succeed in this role, you must be a proactive and organised team player with a willingness to get involved and develop your skills in a wide range of activities.

Additionally, you should have:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong attention to detail
• A marketing or communications qualification (or equivalent experience)
• Proven experience in a marketing or communications role
• Skills in project management, copywriting, and data analysis.

If you are highly motivated and detail oriented with a passion for marketing and communications, who thrives in a collaborative environment, this could be the next step in your career that you have been looking for.

We want to ensure we do all we can to give you a positive candidate experience through our recruitment. Whilst we do try to give feedback where we can, sometimes due to receiving high levels of applications, this may not always be possible

We are building the future of a diverse Society, and our priority is to support animal welfare by finding people from all backgrounds who are committed  to our mission.  For this reason we actively encourage a wide diversity of applications - in particular from members of minority ethnic groups, and people with disabilities - as these candidates are currently under-represented at the RSPCA. Your transferable skills & lived experiences could make you a valuable addition to our RSPCA Family!

Our mission is to ensure animals have a good life by rescuing and caring for those in need, by advocating on behalf of all animals and by inspiring everyone to treat them with compassion and respect
