Head of Marketing Communications - London

This is a rare opportunity to use your creative powers for good. Amnesty International wants to reach and persuade more people with its message of freedom, justice and equality. To do this, we are searching for a head of marketing communications who can lead a talented team to help us stand out from the crowd.

About the role

You'll lead a team that devises multichannel comms campaigns to support Amnesty's brand, policies, campaigns and issues of focus. You'll work closely with all our national entities, basically operating as an advertising agency for them.

We work alongside a superb inhouse team and you'll also brief external agencies to produce engaging work. You'll oversee the international secretariat's social media accounts and act as a digital thought leader for the Amnesty movement, ensuring we're always adopting the best techniques for reaching the most people.

About you

Ideally, you'll be from an advertising or marketing background, inhouse or agency. Crucially, you will have a long track record of leading campaigns which have created change.

You will have solid political acumen, knowledge of international affairs, and have operated in many different global settings and cultures.

Your writing will be sharp, you'll have an eye for the visual, and you'll be digitally native.
