Communications Manager

Do you want to help shape the future of a fairer and more equal United Kingdom? Are you interested in tackling tax dodging and making those with the broadest shoulders pay their fair share? Are you a skilled digital communicator with a flair for writing and a creative eye? Would you like to use these skills for shaping public narratives and building momentum for a fairer tax system and a more equal society? Then read on.

Tax Justice UK (TJ-UK) is building momentum for a fairer tax system. We want to see higher taxes on the super-rich to support quality public services and ensure the redistribution of wealth. We also want to curb tax abuse and see fair global tax rules. With public services on their knees, tax will be a defining issue for the new government. Many sectors will coalesce around the demand for more public investment and TJ-UK will be at the forefront of this debate. 

TJ-UK has a track record of securing campaign wins. We have built strong relationships with parliamentarians, policy makers and a network of influential think tanks and organisations. We also have excellent relationships with many influential media outlets, regularly securing extensive press coverage on tax justice issues. We’ve been key to driving forward the debate on taxing wealth to a place where it is a real political possibility. 

We’re looking for a skilled communications manager with a track record of working with a supporter base and members of the public to create change, managing diverse social media channels. You will be confident with supporter engagement tools and managing an organisation’s digital presence. You will have excellent copywriting skills, understand the power of communications and be a strong team player. The postholder will be a crucial member of the communications team, supporting wider communications and media work for the organisation.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

The purpose of the role is to mobilise members of the public, and to communicate a powerful message which shapes a public and media narrative, in order to deliver tax reform ensuring that everyone in the UK benefits from a sustainable, fair and effective tax system. You will do this by:

• Mobilising members of the public 

• Communicating a consistent and powerful message

• General responsibilities and duties
