Are you a communications media expert able to lead a busy media team, whilst telling inspiring stories?
If so, you could be the Media Manager we are looking for!
About the role
As our Media Manager for Research, you’ll lead activity to promote the life-changing impact of British Heart Foundation's (BHF) work through the media.
You'll have a strong track record of developing imaginative and impactful science-focused media work and will lead a team of research communication experts to seek out stories that bring BHF funded science to life in ways that inspire support from the public and people with heart and circulatory disease.
Working closely with BHF-funded researchers, you'll use your expertise and strong news sense to identify and promote research discoveries through the media. You will also be responsible for creating compelling online content about BHF research to promote on the BHF’s own channels.
You'll play a leading part in developing and implementing the BHF’s research communications strategy in support of the charity’s objectives.
Part of the management team that leads the BHF’s busy reactive press office, you’ll ensure heart patients receive accurate information through the media.
Working arrangements
This is a blended role, where your work will be dual located between your home and our London office.
At BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average. The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause.
Need more help balancing your work and home life? Talk to us about what flexibility is available at the application or interview stage.
About you
As our ideal candidate, you bring experience of managing and leading media teams, leading integrated national media campaigns with proven success in gaining quality research-focussed media coverage.
A confident research communicator, with extensive public relations experience, you can create high quality and innovative media materials, communicating complex science in a compelling way.
With previous line management experience, you'll be able to motivate and lead a strong communications team. You'll also have excellent communication skills, able to develop strong working relationships with key colleagues, journalists, and scientists.
Results driven, with the ability to work under pressure, you can spot opportunities, implement ideas and possess a good understanding of the UK media landscape, including consumer media.
