Use your digital storytelling skills to power impactful campaigns that inspire action and drive real-world change.

Join our team as a digital campaigns assistant to work on a range of powerful and exciting campaigns. We’re a not-for-profit with one goal: to create movements that are progressive, hopeful and powerful, to inspire people to act on the most pressing issues of our time. In this role, you'll support the delivery of impactful campaigns, shifting hearts and minds from day one. From crafting emails that inspire people to take action, to brainstorming graphics that cut through the noise, to getting stuck into the behind-the-scenes-detail that gets a campaign out the door, you’ll be working hard, fast and learning every day. We don’t expect a digital campaigns assistant to know everything about digital campaigning in a political space, but you’ll come with some proven experience in digital roles or roles where you've used digital as a core discipline.


Responsibilities

Day-to-day you will:

• Craft punchy emails, petitions, event forms and action pages that move people to action
• Brainstorm beautiful posters, social media graphics and videos that cut through the noise
• Draft compelling and moving video scripts
• Post powerful content and copy on social media, keeping our campaign channels active and inspiring
• Help develop and moderate our online supporter communities
• Help us administrate and understand our campaigns and audiences better by getting your head into data entry, analysis, and research
• Create and build peer-to-peer text or phone banking campaigns, seeing them through end-to-end
• Build confidence in a variety of digital tools - like Action Network, Airtable, Favro, Slack, CallHub, GetThru and Front - to achieve maximum impact in campaigns
• You'll also have an opportunity to learn more about campaigning as a craft at Small Axe across creative, production and organising
• Occasionally that will mean getting stuck into helping to produce campaign events like petition hand-ins or creative stunts, conferences or film and photoshoots. You might build relationships with spokespeople and feed into campaign strategy.

About you

We’ll be looking for evidence and examples of the below in your application.

• You are passionate about politics and making change
• You’re curious about what makes an effective digital campaign in a political space
• You are eagle-eyed, with strong attention to detail, spotting when things can be improved
• You have drive to see change happen in every piece of work - whether that's data entry or copywriting
• You can communicate effectively and openly with people of different backgrounds and from across the progressive political spectrum
• You are open to learning and growing as a campaigner and not afraid to ask questions when unsure

Knowledge, skill and experience

Essential

• You’ll have demonstrable experience in digital roles. This might include: copy writing emails or social media posts, delving into analytics, using a range of digital tools, scripting and producing videos or content with an understanding of audiences and platforms
• You have experience working collaboratively in a team to get stuff done
• You have learnt to juggle and prioritise your workload
• You are comfortable working in fast-paced office-based environments and have produced work to tight deadlines
