Role and Responsibilities
The Director of Marketing and Communications will develop, implement and regularly evaluate an integrated marketing and communications strategy aligned with WMM’s mission and organisational priorities.
The successful candidate will work closely with leadership to establish the editorial vision, messaging frameworks and content priorities across communication channels. The role will also involve developing an annual communications and marketing workplan that aligns with organisational objectives and the events calendar.
Working alongside programme and member engagement teams, the Director will create innovative communication strategies that ensure members receive timely and relevant information about WMM, its partners and developments within the broader gender equality movement.
A major responsibility will be overseeing the organisation’s 20th anniversary campaign, including campaign planning, messaging, creative production and marketing materials.

Team Leadership
The Director will supervise the Communications Manager, whose responsibilities include member communications, social media and website management.
