This is a unique and specialist role and we recognise that you may have more experience in one clinical area or client group than another, given the breadth of our work and whilst you may be experienced in working psychodynamically as a therapist and as a line manager, you may be newer to leading a service for example. Or you may have a great deal of other experience and understanding of the needs of our clients from other work. We are flexible to develop the right candidate who is passionate about improving the lives of autistic people, people with learning disabilities and their family members.

Further information about Respond
Respond is entering the last year of our three-year strategy, in which we will continue to be focusing on our psychotherapy service, which is a core part of Respond’s offer as a charity for now thirty-four years. Our mission is to reduce the impact of trauma in the lives of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, by developing trusting relationships, through psychotherapeutically informed services which include advocacy, training and consultation.
An important part of our work at Respond is working in a trauma-informed way. What this means for us is that we hold in mind the impact of trauma at all levels of the organisation, and all staff take part in reflective practice or team dynamics.
We provide a range of trauma-informed services for children, young people, adults and professionals. These include psychotherapy, advocacy, training and other support services. The work we do is generally long term in recognition of research that clients with autism and learning disabilities who have experienced abuse and trauma take longer to process their trauma and to recover.
We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates including people with lived experience, who are both interested in working in partnership to provide support, as well as supporting people with learning disabilities and autistic people who have experienced trauma.
We are committed to the furthering of human rights, equality, and positive social change through our therapeutic and advocacy work and are committed to anti-racism and other forms of anti-discriminatory practice. We recognise that we need to continually keep this as a focus in our work and as an integral part of our organisational strategy.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every requirement in the person specification, we encourage you to apply anyway and demonstrate how your experience is transferrable for this role.

This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Ambitious Impact (AIM) is a growing nonprofit organisation running training and incubation programs aimed at establishing and supporting a flourishing high-impact, effectiveness-focused philanthropic ecosystem, with a lively community office in East London.
We are looking for a talented Communication and Marketing Manager to join our Recruitment team to increase the quality of AIM’s communication, and our identification of exceptional talent to join our high-impact training programs. In this role, you will create, execute, and evaluate multi-channel marketing and communications strategies and continuously evaluate and improve them for the next iteration.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Recruitment team currently consists of ~three FTE and fulfils the two key functions of attracting and selecting top candidates for our Charity Entrepreneurship incubation program - as well as possible support for other programs AIM runs or may run. As such, there are two 3-4 month sprints each year that are very execution focused for identifying and then selecting top candidates. The recruitment team also carries out broader communications work for AIM, such as by supporting AIM’s Impactful Grantmaking Program, on outreach for staff roles at AIM, and helping our incubated charities with their initial communications.
As Communication and Marketing Manager, you will chiefly be responsible for the attracting function on the team, presenting AIM’s work in a consistently high fidelity, compelling, and engaging manner. You’ll bring a strong focus on implementation, efficiency, and strategic improvement to help us maximise the value of AIM’s communication efforts.
The role could be more junior or more senior depending on the successful candidate: A more experienced hire will take more of a lead on designing the strategy they will execute, while a more junior hire will focus more on contributing to and learning strategic planning for the tasks they will execute at first.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
(The exact % split may change based on updates to AIM’s strategy and the number of programs we are running.)
Executing Marketing & Communications Activities - 40%
-
Implementing and (co-)designing integrated multi-channel marketing campaigns across digital, traditional, and in-person channels (such as our website, newsletter, LinkedIn, job boards, and conferences)
-
Identifying and persuading top talent to apply for our programs through 1:1 engagement - such as through LinkedIn, email, and online calls
-
Soliciting and collating referrals for potential top applicants to our programs, especially from members of our community and affiliated organisations
-
Managing communication with candidates before, during, and after the application phase, handling special cases and queries about our processes
-
Ensuring target audience-adjusted, brand-consistent messaging and positioning in all our communications materials, adapting to diverse international target audiences and backgrounds where useful
-
Ruthlessly prioritising the activities with the highest ROI
-
Potentially attending conferences and other professional events to represent AIM, conducting talks, workshops, and 1 on 1 meetings
Evaluation and Systems Improvement - 30%
-
Performance tracking and reporting: Set up and improve systems for collecting data on the cost-effectiveness of different communication methods for finding high-quality applicants to our programs
-
Use available data to identify areas for increased efficiency and effectiveness in the communication of our work
-
Identify and implement opportunities for automation
-
Testing potential new communication avenues, such as digital advertising or pitching articles to major publications
Communication Asset Management and Development - 20%
-
Manage communications content and assets: Create and improve materials for AIM, such as our websites, newsletter, blog, photos, and video content from our programs
-
Write and edit copy across the spectrum of our communications assets
-
Take up ad hoc asset-focused tasks for other departments, such as copy editing research reports for the research team, capturing footage of the in-person weeks of our programs, and providing initial design support for new charities we incubate
Planning Marketing & Communications Strategy - 10%
-
Co-designing our marketing and communications strategy on the basis of collected data
-
Working with our Senior Selection Manager Bret on aligning our marketing efforts with our selection processes and optimising both for successful applications
-
Refining our marketing models from initial exposure to application, improving existing steps and identifying new high-potential opportunities
-
Market research and analysis: Updating internal models of our target audiences and identify the best ways to reach them
FUTURE GROWTH TRAJECTORIES
Future growth trajectories for excelling hires could look like:
-
Taking more, up to full responsibility for the entire attracting function of the Recruitment team
-
Learning more about the selection function of the Recruitment team and splitting the role into combining work on the attraction and selection functions
-
Leaning into a less executing-focused and more people management-focused position as Director of Recruitment as we will most likely hire or internally promote someone to this position in mid-2025
ABOUT YOU
This role will likely suit early-stage and mid-level communications/marketing generalists or specialists (0-5 years of experience) and could be tweaked significantly in responsibility to suit a senior communications/marketing specialist. At minimum, you should already be able to execute high-quality work across a range of communications tasks, combining some existing skills with an excitement to grow in new areas and contexts which may be less familiar. You will likely consider yourself as a communications-focused generalist to some degree, able to quickly learn and improve at tasks you have little or no previous experience with.
We expect excellent candidates will meet many (but not all) of the criteria below. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the listed characteristics. In the past, we've offered positions to applicants who demonstrated strong overall potential, providing training to address skill gaps. We prioritise high general ability, a strong work ethic, and alignment with our values, methods, and approach to maximising global impact over specific prior work experience or backgrounds. We sketch a picture of potential ideal candidates to give a more concrete sense of what particularly strong candidates might look like, not to discourage interested readers from applying.
The Ideal Candidate is:
-
A skilled communicator, both in writing and in-person:
-
Can create powerful, professional, and compelling written content that concisely conveys complex ideas
-
Comes across as confident and persuasive in person when delivering talks at a conference, hosting an online Q&A, or having 1:1 discussions with promising applicants
-
-
Has experience with some (but not necessarily all) of our core communications channels (Wix, Mailchimp, LinkedIn, Google Search Ads; Canva)
-
Puts the mission first - being willing to do more menial applicant-driven work during crunch periods of our application cycles
-
Has some prior experience with marketing or communications work, bringing practical experience of optimising tools like Google Analytics and Phantombuster, and in executing paid digital advertising campaigns
-
Is familiar with and ideally has connections within the evidence-based international development space, farmed animal welfare movement, Effective Altruism movement, and/or other relevant (entrepreneurial, nonprofit, philanthropic) communities
-
Is a results-oriented, data-driven decision-maker excited to prioritise ruthlessly and leave less important things undone
-
Leans towards quick iteration and testing, being able to learn new skills and processes quickly through doing
-
Is a team player able to both give and receive constructive feedback, while being able to independently progress on important tasks when necessary
Desirable but not necessary:
-
Can create compelling digital media through high-quality photography and/or filming
-
Experience working in fast-moving and/or startup workplaces
-
1+ years of experience in communications or marketing-focused roles

A job with a large, tangible impact on the world - your work will attract and select the founders of new field-leading charities and for-profit companies, as well as high-impact researchers and AIM staff

APPLICATION PROCESS
Our application processes aim to be highly predictive, time-effective, and informative for you. Our process consists only of stages that our best evidence suggests are predictive of success on the job (such as test tasks) rather than more common but less predictive stages (such as cover letters). We only invite candidates to the next stage if we think they have a good chance of passing it, and take care to choose tasks and interview questions that will also give you a good sense of the role and our culture.
Applicants will be asked to complete the following stages:
-
Submitting our general application form (30 minutes to 1 hour),
-
A general test task (2-3 hours) with the top 10 to 30 candidates,
-
An initial interview (15 minutes) with the top 10-20 candidates,
-
A test task simulating the work you would do in your role (2-3 hours) with the top 5-15 candidates,
-
A final, more in-depth interview (~60 minutes) with the final 2-5 candidates.
We will also conduct a reference check before making an offer. Each stage typically takes 1-2 weeks from the end of the application deadline, and we hope to make an offer within ~8 weeks of the application deadline. Ideally, the candidate will begin onboarding as soon as possible after an offer is made. We strongly prefer candidates to join the team by January 2025, but we would consider a different date for an ideal candidate.
We help you find and transition to a high-impact career with comprehensive support, removing barriers and accelerating your journey to maximize good.
