Key stakeholders: Marketing and Communications committee, CEO, Director of Impact and Innovation,
fundraising team, third party suppliers, and our many partners.
Purpose of the role
The Marketing & Communications Manager at Greenhouse Sports is a senior role – we need to amplify our voice, reach new audiences and generate new channels of support. You’ll bring a critical approach to our every move, whilst getting on and making things happen to take Greenhouse forward - in service of young people and their futures.
We’re entering a pivotal moment as a charity at the forefront of youth development. Our strengthened brand, evolving narrative, growing footprint in national conversations, and the relaunch of the Greenhouse Centre in Westminster will all drive forward our ambition to support as many futures as possible. And our brand needs to be bold, unifying and impossible to ignore.
You’ll act as strategic anchor for all public-facing communications. You’ll define, protect and continually sharpen Greenhouse’s narrative, ensuring we show up consistently, confidently and creatively across every channel.
And you’ll lead our communications strategy, shape national-level campaigns, and elevate our presence with media, influencers, partners and policymakers, ensuring our message positions Greenhouse at the front of positive youth development.
This is both a thinking and doing role. You will set direction, coach others, build processes and systems, and roll up your sleeves to deliver high-quality content, briefs, speeches, and moments that move people to give money, time or influence.
It’s ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic communications, brand stewardship, storytelling, influence-building and campaign leadership.
