If you’re passionate about climate change and a skilled community builder, with at least two years of experience managing social media platforms and campaigns, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for an organised, motivated and creative community engagement manager to join our team.
You’ll be responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring strategies to increase Climate Home News’ reach and impact across social media and community platforms.
This is not a one-way conversation: bring ideas for inspiring readers to share their insights and experiences as well as promoting Climate Home stories.
You will report directly to the editor and work closely with the editorial and commercial teams.

- Plan and maintain our social content calendar across all key social media channels (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube).

- Experience running paid media campaigns on social media platforms.
- Ability to write clean and clear copy.
