About the role
As a member of a small team of five, the Communications Manager is central to TFN’s work connecting highly impactful small charities with individual and institutional donors to bring about progressive social and environmental change.
Day to day, the Communications Manager will be responsible for overseeing the promotion of TFN’s programme of live crowd funding events, managing a schedule of digital communications, creating engaging content and liaising with partners and other stakeholders.
They will play a central role in the execution of TFN’s live, virtual and hybrid events, undertaking a wide range of activities to ensure that events runs smoothly and funding targets are achieved.
Working closely with the Membership Manager, they will support the development and execution of ambitious plans to increase the number of individual, institutional and corporate members, taking advantage of the success of virtual events during the pandemic, and the increased accessibility they offer.
The Communications Manager will be the charity’s lead on impact measurement, ensuring that we are effectively capturing the short, mid and long term impact of our work and communicating it to members, partners, funders and other stakeholders to support event attendance, growth in membership, fundraising and the organisation’s overall strategic positioning.
All of these activities will be drawn together on a new website, which we hope to begin a phased launch of in mid to late autumn 2023. The Communications Manager will be the lead on this exciting project, working closely with the agency responsible for the charity’s re-brand to create a new digital platform. The new website will be both an enticing “shop window” and the operational engine of all aspects of our work, delivering our strategic objectives of facilitating more and deeper connections between donors and small charities via our work in the UK and TFN International; positioning TFN as the “go-to” platform for donors seeking brilliant small charities to support and a respected champion of the small charity sector in the UK; and increasing earned income.
While not a core responsibility, the Communications Manager will also be required to share knowledge and experience with TFN’s network of international partners to support their efforts to establish collective giving in their countries using TFN’s methodology. They will have the opportunity contribute to the development of the next 10-year strategy for the TFN International programme (2024-34).
