The MND Association is the largest charity funding research and supporting those living with, and affected by, motor neurone disease (MND). You might know of us from 2014 Ice-Bucket Challenge fame, the amazing activism from supporters like Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, or most recently the Love Inside brand campaign in partnership with Coronation Street.

We are at one of the most exciting, and critical, times in our Charity's history. In the last four years our income has more than doubled and our awareness is at an all-time high.

But we need our brand to work harder, faster. We know that our brand doesn't always reflect the brilliant charity we are so proud to be a part of - and to be as strong and as impactful as we need to be, that has to change.

That's where you come in - working with the Head of Brand and Marketing, you'll be delivering a vital brand development project, which will involve managing renowned brand consultancy and design agencies to develop and implement a refreshed brand, from positioning through to execution and beyond.

About Us:

Our vision is a world free from MND. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusivity. We work to remove barriers for everyone affected by MND, employees, volunteers, and stakeholders.

• Working with the Head of Communications on tone and language development for diverse audiences.
• Establishing a brand activation programme to support our five-year organisational strategy.
• Developing a charity-wide Audience Framework in partnership with the Marketing Manager.
• Translating brand direction into marketing campaigns alongside Marketing and Digital teams.
• Designing and delivering brand training workshops across the organisation.
• Ensuring consistent brand application by supporting teams with a collaborative 'hub-and-spoke' approach.
• Identifying opportunities to enhance brand awareness and saliency with key audiences.
• Leading on brand insights and consultations, including collaborating with fundraising teams on pitches.
• Managing and developing our bank of brand materials, including guides, toolkits, and photography.

About You:

You'll bring proven expertise in brand development and a collaborative approach to this exciting role. To succeed, you will have:

• A strong track record in developing brand identities and implementing brand change across organisations.
• Leadership experience in uniting teams to deliver successful projects and campaigns.
• Experience in managing creative agencies and motivating stakeholders to achieve high-quality results on time.
