Are you looking to do things differently? Phew, so are we. For too long, we've looked on social media and, if we're being honest, email communications too, as the nasally, awkward cousin who's great when you play family Trivial Pursuit each Boxing Day but the rest of the time is tolerated just because he's a blood relative (allegedly).
We used the above introduction when we recently advertised for a Social Media and Email Communications Manager and we ended up hiring an absolute gem. So, we’re going to use it all over again as we look to hire a Digital Communications Specialist who will report into our new gem.
As your manager’s title suggests your focus will be on BMS World Mission’s social media channels and suite of supporter and church-facing emails and you will be working within the Communications Team within the Department of Communications and Fundraising.
Both this role and your boss’ role are new creations – we are in the mood to experiment. We know enough to know what we don't know (and we've commissioned a detailed social media and email audit report to tell us the rest) and we dream plenty big enough to know there's so much more we could do. We just need to find the right person to measure the chemicals, heat the Bunsen burner, mix the liquids and holler with glee when the latest experiment shatters the test tube and creates gold. Could that be you?
BMS is a Christian mission organisation founded in 1792, today we work in around 30 countries over four continents. We are passionate about making Jesus known across the world and transforming the lives of those we serve.
