Communications Manager
Use your communications expertise to play a vital role in enhancing and showcasing our story and brand.
We are looking for a Communications Manager to help craft our story – and the stories of our partners – with creativity and impact. This is a dynamic role that spans digital marketing, brand guardianship and content creation. One day you might be crafting a LinkedIn campaign or overseeing website design; the next you could be shaping our Annual Report, developing case studies or supporting colleagues to promote key events. You will balance strategic oversight with hands-on delivery, working closely with the Head of Communications, teams across the organisation and our partner network.
You’ll be a skilled communicator with proven experience in digital marketing, content creation and design, able to manage multiple projects and stakeholders with confidence. If you thrive on variety, enjoy blending creativity with strong organisational skills and are motivated by social impact, this role will give you the chance to make a real difference.
At Purposeful Ventures, you’ll join a collaborative and ambitious team, as well as a wider culture that balances pace and impact with fun and wellbeing.
