The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is seeking an experienced and creative Social Media Manager to lead its organic social strategy and content creation across platforms. This role is key in enhancing audience engagement, aligning paid and organic digital content, and supporting the UK charity’s high-impact campaigns, particularly during emergency appeal periods.
You’ll take charge of developing creative strategies, driving innovation, and managing a strong online presence, while ensuring alignment with the DEC’s brand values and voice. This includes both strategic planning and hands-on account management, analytics, and community engagement.
The role involves collaboration with the DEC's Digital Fundraising and Innovation teams, talent and influencer partners, and social media leads across its 15 member charities. During major appeals, you’ll also manage a small team of volunteers to support the DEC’s communications push.
Ideal candidates will have strong experience in social media content production, cross-platform planning, community building, and trend forecasting. You’ll be confident navigating high-pressure environments, particularly during two-week emergency appeal launches, where long hours and office-based collaboration are expected.
Prior charity sector experience and knowledge of digital fundraising are highly desirable.
