Without Walls is hiring a Communications and Development Manager to lead marketing and communications projects from their base in Manchester. You will have a minimum of 3 years experience in a comparable role and be able to devise, oversee and deliver communications and strategies.
They are looking for an innovative and dynamic communications professional to join their team. You should have the skills and experience to devise and deliver high-impact marketing strategies for Without Walls, and to evaluate the success of these strategies.
Without Walls is a sector facing organisation and you will not be directly engaging audiences or working to ticket sales targets. Instead you will be required to come up with new approaches to engaging a varied range of professional audiences, partners and stakeholders. You should be a hands-on person with attention to detail who thrives using data and analytics, while also being comfortable working at a fast-pace and having the ability to think quickly and creatively.
While you’ll need experience of arts marketing to do the role, we are also looking for someone with motivation and tenacity. Please don’t be put off if you think you match some of the person specification but not all of it – they would like to hear from you if you think you can do the job, and we are willing to offer support and training to candidates with marketing experience who don’t yet have hands on experience of fundraising.
