£46,620- £53,604 per annum

(We normally offer a starting salary at the start of the range)

Full-time (37.5h) / Fixed Term Contract until 31st December 2025

Based in Islington, London

Greenpeace UK is an independent national/regional organisation within the global Greenpeace campaigning network, which acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. The global network of Greenpeace organisations comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations with presence in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a coordinating and supporting organisation, Greenpeace International.

This is an ideal chance to demonstrate the creative flair, grasp of social media metrics and instinct for engagement that underpin both your own strong portfolio of social media content and your eagerness to guide colleagues in using social media more effectively.

You'll be managing Greenpeace UK's organic social media presence, ensuring it contributes to core campaign and organisational objectives by producing compelling, timely and trend-savvy content. As a hands-on content producer, you'll use a range of high quality design skills to generate social-first visuals, graphics and short-form videos that cut through a crowded space and engage new and existing audiences.

Balancing creativity and coordination, you'll also take ownership of our content calendar, ensure platform health and optimise output for impact. You'll collaborate closely with digital campaigners, content creators and freelancers, and stay ahead of platform trends and algorithm changes to ensure our content is engaging, authentic and influential.

Given the fixed term nature of this role, ending on 31 December 2025, we require the successful applicant to start as soon as possible.

Location: Islington, London. Our hybrid working model enables us to enjoy the benefits of both office based and remote working. We ask that staff work from the office in Islington 40% of their time, with 20% required as a minimum. Reasonable adjustments as well as specific office based needs will be considered for those with long term health conditions and disabilities.

What we're looking for:

• Significant experience producing successful, varied social media content - including graphics, videos and memes - with a proven ability to generate reach and engagement on a range of platforms.
• Good understanding of key social media metrics, with proven experience using them to improve content and boost performance.
• Proven ability to build relationships across an organisation, helping to meet a range of objectives via social media, while ensuring quality is maintained.
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to manage conflicting priorities and deadlines.
• Experience of working in a team to generate content ideas and deliver output, including reviewing others' content and providing feedback that improves clarity, engagement and platform fit.

We give you:
You'll be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of the wide range of learning and development opportunities available to our staff. We offer great benefits such as a generous pension scheme, subsidised lunches, free yoga and a wealth of well-being resources, just to name a few.
