Cardiff, United Kingdom Run 4 Wales Full time

**Department**:Marketing & Communications

**Reports To**:Head of Marketing and Communications

**Type**:Full-time (37.5 hours per week), Permanent

**Salary**:£21,500 - 25,000

**Location**:Head Office, Cardiff/Hybrid

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Marketing & Communications team at Run 4 Wales (R4W), the not-for-profit social enterprise that delivers major sporting events including the Principality Cardiff Half Marathon, the Cardiff 10K and ABP Newport Wales Marathon.

R4W is committed to delivering world class events with a positive social agenda and through its Charitable Foundation awards funding to grassroots sport and other community projects - with a particular focus on inspiring young people and socially disadvantaged groups to get active.

It’s an exciting time to get involved, with growth in R4W’s portfolio of events and partnerships being fuelled by increased demand for events following the pandemic, the inclusion of the Cardiff Half in the new international SuperHalfs series and an innovative partnership with London Marathon Events.

This is an opportunity to join a growing and forward-thinking company, that rewards hard work and commitment with an engaging and flexible working environment, development and career growth.

It is a full-time position, working Monday-Friday during regular office hours, primarily based from the R4W office in Cardiff with opportunities to work from home or flexibly on occasions and with time in lieu offered for working across a number of event weekends (currently 7 per year).

Our preference for this appointment is on a full-time basis but the role is available on a part-time or job-share basis. This is because we want the best people for our roles and recognise that sometimes those people aren't available full-time. Applications from those seeking a part-time position or job share are welcome if they demonstrate they can provide value to the organisation.

Working with the Head of Marketing and Communications, Marketing Manager and our Partnership Account Managers, the Communications Executive will support on the development and coordination of event and partner related media and communications activities.
