Job description
Marketing Officer
£27,500 to £29,250 per annum
Permanent x 2 and fixed term (6 months) x 1, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office
What the job involves
We’re looking for three Marketing Officers to join our fast-paced communications team in a varied and dynamic role. You’ll be responsible for developing marketing communications for Prostate Cancer UK across a range of products.
In any one day, you could be developing a communications plan to drive event sign ups, building a Facebook lead generation campaign, or setting up an email journey to inspire our customers to donate and help change the lives of men with prostate cancer.
You’ll approach marketing with a product mindset, making the user’s need and experience primary, and work with teams across the charity to develop communications plans that reach the right audience, with the right content, on the right channels, at the right time, to make the biggest impact with the resource available.
What we want from you
We’re looking for a proactive, enthusiastic and highly organised person with experience in digital marketing.
You’ll have the perfect mix of excellent writing and editing skills combined with a love of data and insightful analysis. You’ll have experience in paid marketing campaigns, particularly on Meta, and a good knowledge of email marketing.
Through your marketing expertise, you’re able to produce content and campaigns to engage and convert our priority audiences. And using audience insight and analytics, you’re able to continuously monitor and optimise campaigns to create the biggest impact and inspire our customers to take action to help save and improve the lives of men affected by prostate cancer.
You’ll be comfortable at building strong working relationships and working across teams to deliver joint projects and will have a keen eye for opportunities to innovate and expand our approaches. And you’ll happily use your expertise to support your team-mates as the occasion demands.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about men at risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
What we offer
Join our team and be part of an award-winning charity. We’ll support you to develop your skills and expertise.
We offer a competitive benefits package, including:
- Generous leave entitlements that increase with service
- One ‘development day’ a month to use for training or personal development
- Enhanced contributory pension scheme
- Life insurance and group income protection
- Health Cash Plan
- Life and wellbeing advice and support via our Employee Assistance Programme
- Discounted gym membership and high street shopping discounts
- Loans for season tickets or cycles
We’ve recently launched three new People Networks – Pride (for LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies), Mind & Body (physical and mental wellbeing), and our Multicultural network. Sponsored by our Leadership team, our networks provide a safe, supportive peer group to share experiences and offer support, raise awareness of the history and ongoing experiences of each community, start conversations with colleagues across the organisation, and contribute to our policy development and review.
Hybrid working
Our aim is to be a flexible workplace. We want people to be successful, confident, informed, connected to their colleagues and develop in their roles. We usually work from home, with some time each month spent in our London Bridge office. Office time is usually to collaborate with colleagues (this is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs to the office). The frequency may vary over the year and is dependent on the needs of the role and the organisation. Space is also available for employees that wish to use the office on a more regular basis.
For this role, you should be willing to travel into the office two or three times a month when it’s valuable for you to do so.
We offer flexible working options, including a 0.8 FTE role or compressed hours, to suit individual preferences and accommodate work-life balance.
Our commitment
We’re an organisation committed to anti-racism, equality, diversity and inclusion. It’s a key part of our organisational strategy and how we work together. Our teams, supporters, partners, and those living with prostate cancer, come from all walks of life. We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. And we value different perspectives, skills and experiences, so we welcome applicants from all sections of the community. If you share our ambition, we would love to hear from you.
