Notes

Role Overview:

The Muslim Hands Fundraising team is looking for a Creative and Brand Manager. This is a 12-month-opportunity to help shape the visual identity of Muslim Hands and deliver campaigns end-to-end, including the 2026 Ramadan campaign. The role would suit an all-rounder who embraces a multi-disciplinary challenge. You will be leading a small team of Creatives who work closely with the marketing and web team and also get involved in other design projects briefed by other stakeholders in the organisation. This means you need to have a sharp awareness of who is working on what day-to-day, spot deadline clashes and help the team set priorities. You will also get involved in design yourself – so you need to be a versatile and detail-oriented designer who can jump onto any project without much introduction and ask the right questions when there is no clear briefing. Just as Fundraising is a fast-changing environment, the work in the Fundraising team can be fast-paced – we are looking for someone who has experience delivering work in this sort of environment, someone not scared of juggling multiple projects and tricky deadlines.
