The role

As Campaign Manager, you will use your digital marketing expertise to manage the This is
Engineering digital marketing campaign day to day. With the experience of working with, or in, marketing agencies, you will work closely with our creative and media buying agencies to shape campaign content, build effective channel strategies and evolve the campaign season on season. With support from the Community Engagement Officer, you will also help develop and coordinate content.

You will also manage the monitoring and evaluation of the campaign, taking a forensic approach to capturing key insights and learnings and making sure these are embedded in ongoing campaign development. Drawing on your deep knowledge of campaign data, you will work with the Academy’s fundraising team to present the progress of the campaign and shape a compelling story about its success that will engage new partners and funders.

Working alongside the Academy’s Media and Digital Communications teams, you will also support the delivery of National Engineering Day, a national awareness day spun out of This is Engineering to celebrate the impact that engineers have on our lives and broaden public perceptions of engineering. Now in its fourth year, National Engineering Day (formerly known as This is Engineering Day) has consistently mobilised engineers, engineering organisations and influencers across social media to spread the word about engineering, and gained widespread media coverage across broadcast, print and online titles.

This is Engineering is a long-term marketing campaign, launched in 2018, that has already had a measurable impact on young people; at its most successful it has increased teens’ likelihood to consider a career in engineering by 85%. A finalist in Third Sector’s Communications Campaign of the Year, This is Engineering is recognised as a genuinely pioneering campaign in the profession and has drawn widespread support from organisations including Rolls-Royce, Amazon, and Google.

Who are we looking for?

You will be a digital marketing manager with deep knowledge of different digital and social media channels, predictors of success on those channels, and of best practice in the evaluation of digital marketing. Experience in managing campaigns that have engaged teenagers would be a bonus. You will have excellent written and oral communications skills, strong analytical capabilities, and a flair for project management. You will love getting to know your target audiences and will be passionate about helping young people shape their futures, and about the opportunities, engineering can offer them. You will also be a team player and natural collaborator, comfortable working with a wide range of colleagues from different disciplines within and beyond communications, and at different levels of seniority.
