Wellcome is a global philanthropy. Our aim is to build healthier futures for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.
We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.
These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.
Where in Wellcome will I be working?
You'll join the Communications team within Corporate Affairs, reporting to the Brand & Corporate Communications Lead. The team is responsible for developing and strengthening Wellcome's brand, ensuring that colleagues, partners and external audiences have a clear and consistent understanding of who we are, what we do, and the impact we are striving to achieve.
Working collaboratively across the organisation, the team provides brand guidance, plans and delivers communications activity, advises colleagues about how to reach and engage external audiences and helps ensure Wellcome's vision, mission, beliefs and values are reflected consistently through Wellcome’s storytelling.
What will I be doing?
As a Brand Manager, you will:
- Support the development and delivery of Wellcome's brand strategy, helping increase understanding of who we are and what we stand for.
- Support the delivery of campaigns, partnerships and communications activity that strengthen Wellcome's brand and reputation.
- Provide practical brand guidance and support to colleagues across Wellcome, helping them apply the brand confidently and consistently.
- Develop and maintain brand assets, resources and training materials to support effective brand adoption.
- Collaborate with stakeholders across the organisation, as well as external agencies and suppliers, to deliver high-quality brand activity.
- Monitor brand performance and gather insights to inform future activity, measurement and continuous improvement.
- Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
