Overview
Our client, an independent environmental campaigning organisation, is seeking an experienced Senior Campaign Manager to lead significant strands of its domestic and international climate work.
You will develop and deliver ambitious, evidence-led campaign strategies designed to influence public debate, strengthen support for climate action and reduce the influence of groups seeking to undermine environmental progress. The role combines long-term strategic planning with rapid-response campaigning on politically sensitive and fast-moving issues.
Working with multidisciplinary teams across political engagement, communications, digital, organising, mobilisation and creative delivery, you will identify opportunities and lead a broad range of campaign tactics. These may include political advocacy, legal interventions, public mobilisation, creative communications and peaceful direct action.
You will also line-manage a Campaigner, represent the organisation publicly and help build strong relationships across the climate and wider campaigning movement.
Responsibilities
- Lead the planning and delivery of ambitious campaign strategies across multiple, overlapping workstreams.
- Take accountability for the impact and effectiveness of major strands of the climate campaign.
- Identify emerging political, social and media opportunities that can advance campaign objectives.
- Design and direct integrated campaign tactics across advocacy, legal, communications, mobilisation and peaceful direct action.
- Ensure campaign activity remains aligned with the organisation’s theory of change and strategic goals.
- Coordinate multidisciplinary teams including campaigners, political specialists, organisers, mobilisers, press, digital and creative colleagues.
- Influence, guide and task-manage colleagues without relying solely on formal authority.
- Line-manage and support the professional development of a Campaigner.
- Lead rapid-response work on urgent and politically charged developments.
- Balance short-term interventions with the delivery of longer-term campaign strategies.
- Develop clear, persuasive and accessible messages for different audiences and platforms.
- Act as a campaign spokesperson in media interviews, presentations and external events.
- Build and maintain strong relationships across the climate, environmental and campaigning sectors.
- Work with partners, coalitions and movement organisations to strengthen collective impact.
- Monitor campaign performance and use evidence to adapt tactics and improve results.
- Champion inclusive, anti-racist and people-powered approaches to campaigning.
- Help broaden the organisation’s reach and engagement with more diverse communities and audiences.
