At WWF we have incredible opportunity for an accomplished media and PR senior professional to join us as our Director of Media, PR & Artists and be part of a senior leadership team at the forefront of driving change.

As Director of Media, PR and Artists, we will look to you to spearhead our media and PR engagement, with a focus on delivering extensive, bold and relevant coverage across all media.  This will involve driving high awareness and engagement of the brand through media, PR, artists and influencers as well as supporting high impact campaigns with integrated and powerful communications strategies.

Importantly, you will play a critical role in delivering our ambitious strategy to grow support over the next three years by generating the most creative ideas to engage and attract new audiences as well as extend our reach into new media arenas. You will develop more and deeper relationships across all media, especially at editor level, too.

To play your part in saving our planet, you must hold a relevant qualification and be a senior media and PR professional with extensive experience of operating at the highest levels. You will have an in-depth understanding of how the media works and a track record of using the media to influence decision makers and deliver successful fundraising and advocacy campaigns. Expert at launching short and long-term PR campaigns you will have an in-depth understanding of digital platforms, social media and their audiences. You will also be used to working and building relationships with journalists and influential senior editors as well as artists and influencers.

Skilled at managing budgets, you will be effective at motivating and building high performing teams. A consummate communicator you will also excel at building relationships and networking. Of course, you will be able to demonstrate a commitment to the natural world and WWF’s core mission too.
