We are now seeking a Communications, Impact and Influence Director to help deliver our 2024-27 Corporate Plan which places a strong emphasis on making a bigger difference, supporting bolder change in the delivery of the Fund’s ‘It starts with community’ strategy to 2030. This is a newly created role with an emphasis on external engagement, influence and purpose to help bring to life the story of the National Lottery Community Fund; celebrating and promoting the power of communities, helping the communities who need us most to access our funding and leveraging our knowledge and expertise to influence wider societal change.
This is a crucial leadership appointment at a time when we can really evidence our work. As Communications, Impact and Influence Director you will be part of the Senior Management Team and lead our external voice and engagement. You will bring together communications, engagement, reputation, evidence and learning—ensuring we understand our impact, grow our reach, and influence others to act alongside us. Critically, you will play a key role in developing partnerships and drawing in new funding and collaboration opportunities across the UK.
You might already have served in a senior strategic communications, engagement or influence capacity in a government department or public body, or in a funder, charity, or social purpose organisation. Wherever you are, you will provide a clear vision for our communications, bring a systematic approach to delivery, and have the capability to build personal credibility quickly. You will have excellent interpersonal skills, show credibility at Board level, and demonstrate strategic judgement. Importantly, you will bring a collaborative approach in working with our talented and committed teams.
