Please note that this role offers the opportunity for hybrid working, and will require the successful applicant to work from our London, Farringdon office a minimum of 2 days per month.     About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn, and protection from harm.
When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. About the Role
As Senior Brand Manager, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring Save the Children UK presents a cohesive and compelling brand image to our audiences.   You will help optimise our brand positioning, develop communication strategies, and deliver through-the-line campaigns that strengthen our brand identity and impact.   You will also provide strategic leadership, collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation, and deliver creative tools, guidance and training to ensure alignment with our core messaging. In this Role, You Will:
  • Support the Head of Brand and Strategic Communications in optimising our brand positioning, strategy, and communications approach while driving alignment with the global brand.
  • Provide strategic guidance to teams across the organisation to ensure creative projects and campaigns align with brand and communications strategies.
  • Lead on major brand and communications projects, such as audits, brand architecture and identity reviews, strategic guidance development and brand experience mapping.
  • Develop user-friendly brand tools and training materials, inspiring teams to consistently deliver aligned and impactful brand communications.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to align activities with integrated campaign moments and organisational priorities.
  • Leverage research and tracking insights to turn data into actionable strategies that strengthen our brand and communication outcomes.
  • Lead and nurture communities of practice across the organisation to champion the brand and communication strategies effectively.
About You
To be successful, it is important that you have:
  • Significant experience in brand and communications strategy development.
  • Expertise in translating brand strategies into creative and communications outputs.
  • Solid strategic thinking and planning skills, including the ability to set work plans and evaluate outcomes.
  • Strong influencing and persuasion skills, with the ability to build credibility and relationships across multiple stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication skills, including experience developing and delivering presentations and training materials.
  • Proactivity and a passion for creative ideas, with the ability to identify opportunities and drive them forward.
  • Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission, and values.
What We Offer You
  • Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
  • We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health, and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
  • We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to improve the lives of children every day. You can read more about our benefits here.

Closing date: 15th December 2024
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (minimum 2 days per month).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
