Are you Volans’ new Marketing and Communications Lead? Flexible part-time role (3-4 days per week)

Volans is a renowned think tank and strategic advisory firm operating globally to help business leaders make sense of the emerging future and address global challenges. We conduct inquiries into big questions just beyond the horizon to catalyse systemic change, and work with a select group of clients to unlock the potential of their organisation, create opportunities for market evolution, and design solutions ready to scale into a regenerative future.

Our thought leadership and experience within sustainability, innovation, circular economy and ‘green finance’ means we are busier than ever and that there is an opportunity to increase our impact substantially through strengthening our communications.

We are looking for someone who can nurture and build the Volans brand and drive our communications in a fast-moving environment.

You will be responsible for the development of our marketing strategy and activities calendar as well as executing it at all levels (with the help of a PR agency, and a digital and creative design resource.)

You’ll do this by using multiple channels and engaging high-quality content. You will be responsible for a diverse range of comms and collateral including our website, social media pages, annual report, impact reports, regular newsletters, corporate/promotional videos, materials for events and other marketing collateral.

This will include highlighting how our work is unique and showcasing our impact and success stories.

You’ll be confident in creating and delivering digital marketing. You’ll be a natural storyteller and have an ability to create compelling and great looking content.

Managing priorities and multiple projects effectively will be key and you will be expected to advise and report on KPIs and ROI of the different marketing initiatives.

We’re a passionate ambitious team, working in an extremely fast-paced environment, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm and keen to welcome you and make the most of your previous experience to amplify the impact of our work through great communications and marketing.
