Job description

Director of Campaigns and Communications

As Director of Campaigns and Communications you will lead ShareAction’s integrated campaigning, community organising and communications function to deliver high-profile, high-impact programmes that shift corporate behaviour, investor practice and public narratives. You will design and oversee multi-year, multi-tactic campaigns that are tightly linked to our strategic objectives, ensuring each campaign is grounded in robust evidence and a clear theory of change. You will set and own the communications strategy of the organisation — media, digital, brand and thought leadership — so that our messages amplify campaigns and shape public and investor debate.
Your teams will lead civil-society engagement and coalition-building, activating partners and communities to generate public pressure and broaden our influence. Externally you will represent ShareAction at the highest level: negotiating with corporate targets and investors, speaking to media and stakeholders, and representing the organisation in a range of settings. You will work closely with your teams, the COO and the Fundraising team to translate programme ambitions into fundable propositions and secure the resources needed to deliver them.
