Media and Communications Manager

Location: London hybrid

Salary expectation: £52,115

This is a full-time role

Liberty and its supporters have been a force for fairness, dignity and respect in our society for more than 90 years. Now, at this crucial turning point in British political history, we’re seeking an experienced comms professional to lead our external media and digital output as Media and Communications Manager.

The Communications Team tells people who Liberty is, what we do and how they can get involved – helping to shape the narrative of the media debate and influence decision makers. This role requires proven experience of line managing colleagues and devising and executing strategic national media and digital comms plans.

Liberty is a small organisation, which punches above its weight. The Media and Communications Manager will combine strong project management and hands-on day-to-day delivery, line managing a team of three in a fast-paced environment which includes a 24-hour press office.

This is an important leadership role. The post-holder will advise senior colleagues, set messaging, lead projects across earned and owned channels, brief and train spokespeople, build and maintain relationships with journalists and other external stakeholders, and draft and edit media materials.

Success will see integrated, collaborative and ambitious project planning to support policy, campaigns and legal cases to engage key audiences with impactful communications and enhance Liberty’s reputation and influence.

Liberty’s first president described our work as “the fight that is never done”. This is a great opportunity for an experienced comms professional to lead a dynamic team in that fight at a time when changing the narrative on human rights has perhaps never been more important.

Liberty fully embraces flexible working and is committed to employee development.We aim to encourage people from all backgrounds to work with us and are particularly interested in hearing from people from minority backgrounds and all socio-economic sections of society.Liberty supports hybrid working, with a minimum office attendance two days per week in the Westminster office.
