You’ll also be accountable for planning and co-ordinating one of our largest seasonal campaigns, Blossom.

You may come from an Account Director/Senior Account Manager role, or work in-house in a Business Partner or integrated planner type role at another charity, commercial or relatable organisation. You’ll report directly to the Head of Planning and Operations for Communications and Marketing.
