Be a part of an energetic and vibrant team who are driven by the desire to improve the lives of people living with kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease.

Contracted to our Peterborough office with the flexibility for hybrid working

We’re looking for a driven and passionate email specialist who wants to use their skills to make a genuine difference to the lives of people living with kidney disease. The digital marketing team at Kidney Research UK is ambitious, and we’re in the middle of transforming the way we engage with supporters via email.

We need someone who’s technical and creative – someone who can write and build brilliant emails, tell a great story, and understands how to make sure our emails reach the right people with the right message at the right time.

We’ve just launched our first automated email journeys and we need someone who can build on our email transformation programme – helping us build a picture of our supporters, develop our approach to personalisation, and create more email journeys. All of this will help us increase engagement, loyalty and the lifetime value of our supporters.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves combining creativity with data, enjoys testing and optimising performance, and wants to help build a best-in-class email marketing programme from the ground up.

Most importantly, you'll be helping us grow support for pioneering research and move closer to our vision of a world free from kidney disease.

We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone and encourage applications from all sections of the community.
