Digital Engagement Manager

This newly-created role brings the Printing Charity’s social media activity in-house for the first time to build and bring to life a cohesive digital communications and engagement plan. 

You will be instrumental in shaping the Printing Charity’s use of digital, online and social media channels to extend the organisation’s reach to new audiences, making them aware of the services we provide; and inspiring two-way engagement with current partners and new audience groups. The role will also be key in communicating service developments, and providing robust, engaging online support for the charity’s 200th anniversary activity.

With responsibility for setting, implementing and evaluating the organisation’s overall online communications and engagement strategy, and with plenty of opportunity within the role for creative content development, plus line management of the Events and Communications Officer, you will play a key role in ensuring we can be here for as many people as possible as we approach our 200th year.
