At ShareAction we work with investors, policymakers and individuals to unleash the positive potential of the investment system. We aim to build a world where our financial system serves our planet and its people.

**Team**

This role is part of ShareAction’s dynamic communications team, which leads media and digital activity, manages the website and publications, and ensures a consistent and compelling brand story.

- Build and maintain relationships with key journalists and commentators across specialist and mainstream media. Keep up to date with relevant news and trends and identify opportunities to promote our messages.
- Work with the Senior Media Manager to monitor, evaluate and regularly report on media activity.
- Be a brand champion, ensuring content is aligned with tone of voice, house style and messaging guidelines (all of which you’ll receive training on).
- Demonstrate a commitment to ShareAction’s values (independence, courage, persistence, inclusivity and respect) and vision of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people.

**Requirements**:
**What you’ll bring to the team**
- Some experience working in a press office, agency or as a journalist and a track record of securing positive coverage.
