Impact Communications Manager | 12 Month Contract

Men are dying too young – and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Around the world, men are facing a health crisis: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and suicide. At Movember we’re on a mission to change the face of men’s health by making it easier for men to talk, act and live longer healthier lives.

Every project, every campaign, every idea adds up to real change. You’ll be part of a purpose-fueled crew who believe making an impact and having fun should go hand in hand. Your mission is calling.

DO GOOD. Work for Movember.

Your Mo-Mission (should you choose to accept it):

Movember's work in men's health tells powerful stories and this role exists to make sure those stories land.
As Impact Communications Manager, UK & Europe, you'll lead the communications that bring Movember's programmatic work to life, primarily across mental health in sport and policy and advocacy. You'll translate research, programme delivery and policy priorities into compelling narratives that build Movember's credibility, reach and influence across the region.

Sitting within the global Marketing & Communications team and reporting to the Head of Communications & PR UK & Europe, the role has two primary areas of focus: supporting Movember Ahead of the Game and the broader Sports Health Initiative, and driving communications that advance Movember's policy and advocacy agenda in the UK and Europe.

Day to day, you'll develop year-round communications plans, build and manage relationships with partner comms teams, secure thought leadership and media opportunities, and work closely with PR, content and marketing colleagues to ensure everything is integrated and on-brand. From showcasing the reach of Ahead of the Game through case studies, video and imagery, to communicating government announcements and driving public-facing advocacy campaigns, this is a varied and high-impact role.

You'll also contribute to cross-programme storytelling -- connecting sport, policy, cancer and broader impact narratives to clearly demonstrate where Movember's money goes and why it matters.

Strong cross-functional collaboration is central to the role. You'll work with internal teams, delivery partners, implementation partners and agency partners to ensure local communications activity aligns with global strategy while genuinely resonating with UK and European audiences.

No Moustache Required - but the following are:

• Significant experience in communications, PR or content roles, ideally within a complex or purpose-led organisation

• Strong understanding of the UK media landscape, including established relationships across sport, political and health media

• Excellent knowledge of the political and policy environment, and the sports media and industry landscape, with the ability to identify relevant opportunities for storytelling and influence. Strong examples of working with policy makers and thought leaders to gain policy focused coverage

• Experience developing programme, impact or campaign storytelling, translating complex information, research or policy into clear, compelling narratives

• Excellent writing skills, with the ability to develop high-quality content across a range of formats, from reactive statements to thought leadership and long-form materials

• Strong communication and influencing skills, with high attention to detail

• Ability to think strategically while also delivering at pace, balancing big-picture thinking with hands-on execution

• Strong interview preparation and messaging skills, supporting spokespeople to deliver with clarity and impact

• Ability to make sound decisions quickly and confidently in a fast-moving environment

• Highly organised, with strong experience managing timelines, budgets and reporting across multiple projects

• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience working across internal teams, partners and external organisations

• Experience working with high-profile ambassadors, partners or stakeholders

• Experience working in a not-for-profit or purpose-led organisation

• Self-motivated and proactive, with the ability to work independently as well as part of a team

Not Mission Critical - but for extra bonus points:

• Experience working in a not-for-profit or purpose-led organisation

• Sports sector experience

• Experience in engaging with C-level suite and senior stakeholders in the sports and political sectors

• Savvy in social media practices and tools/ tech

• Experience working across UK and/or European markets

• Experience managing agencies or external suppliers

• Experience contributing to integrated campaigns across earned, owned and shared channels

GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help turn ideas (and moustaches) into millions for men’s health. Every bit we raise changes the face of men’s health by funding research, improving treatments, and supporting programs that help save lives.

We’re even shaping government policies on men’s health worldwide. By meeting directly with lawmakers, and helping them understand how more investment on men’s health benefits not just men, but all the communities they serve.

GOOD VIBES:
We love weekends. That’s why our Fridays finish early for nine months of the year. But we also love our office vibe. Because here, it always feels like something big is about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an open invite for all to hit the pub.

Come the hairy season, the energy cranks up. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. But, for those who prefer calm, no probs: hybrid working means you work where you feel best.

GOOD CREW:

Spoiler alert: we’re a no-ego, all-impact crew. That means everyone gets a say, from new starters to those leading the charge. Collaboration over hierarchies, curiosity over rigid process. And it’s true across all our offices worldwide. We work as one, sharing expertise and celebrating wins. All in the name of making the biggest impact across the globe. United, we Mo.

We offer:

• Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working

• 13 weeks paid Parental Leave and 6 weeks annual leave

• Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)

• An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support

• A fun stimulating and collaborating culture, with company events

• Service awards after 3, 5 and 10 year

• Committees to join – Culture team, Equity Diversity & Inclusion

• Bike to work scheme

• Half day Fridays for 9 months of the year

Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
