This role will cultivate strong working relationships with all internal teams, to ensure that we are making digital marketing perform for all departments, to better our impact. Demonstrating commitment and enthusiasm for the sector, success in this role will require outstanding digital marketing experience focused on setting and achieving ambitious growth targets. 

It is a key time to be joining The Lullaby Trust as we develop our new brand positioning, new website and creative direction, to help us reach more families and supporters than ever.
