Senior Brand and Content Officer

2 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Ambition Institute Full time

Now is an exciting time to join the Brand and Content team as we build on our recent work of introducing a new content strategy and rolling out our new brand. 

If you have some experience in brand, content and social media and want to develop your skills and expertise in a talented and well-respected team, we’d love to hear from you. 

A focus of this role is producing, promoting and quality assuring content that gets more people on to our programmes; builds awareness, understanding and positive perceptions of our brand; and helps the education sector to understand the value of high quality, evidence-based professional development. You’ll support others to do the same too.  


We’re looking for a collaborative and proactive communicator who can work with stakeholders to create brilliant content; deliver a high-quality experience for audiences on our social media channels; and help everyone to use our brand well. 

We live our values of ‘keep getting better’ so you’ll be encouraged and empowered to ensure our content, channels and team make the best impact possible. 

We would like you to:

Manage our social media accounts day-to-day: monitoring and responding to engagement; producing and quality assuring excellent content for key moments; scheduling posts; and boosted content campaigns.  Maintain, produce and develop brand assets including merchandise designs, templates, guidance, visuals, photography and videography.  Act as a content business partner for your assigned programmes and areas: establish effective relationships and ways of working with stakeholders, taking ownership of content planning, production, promotion and maintenance.  Lead projects and carry out ad hoc tasks to drive the continual improvement of our brand, content, social media and team operations. 


Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Brand and Content Associate Director.  In line with our current ways of working, you’ll be expected to be in the office at least 1 day a month, in addition to team days and this may be reviewed by Ambition. 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience

To succeed in this role you'll be a strong copywriter with the ability to adapt and adhere to the Ambition tone of voice and style guide. It is essential that you have experience in creating content in a range of formats and for a range of channels. Whilst it would be desirable for you to have design skills with experience of using InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop, this is not essential for the role. 
If this has sparked some interest, we welcome an application from you. 

What’s in it for you….?

Competitive annual salary Professional development for all staff 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays and 'winter shut down’ at the end of December/beginning of January Employer pension contribution of 11% Agile, hybrid working culture, so you can manage when and where you work Staff affinity networks that help keep equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our work Blind recruitment process to ensure equality and fairness in our hiring Enhanced maternity pay after a year’s service Shared parental leave package Access to free, confidential 24/7 wellbeing and support line Comfortable and collaborative workspaces in the city centres of Manchester, Birmingham and London Work-from-home technology package to support hybrid working Interest free season ticket / bike loans
