Digital Engagement Officer

War on Want is a dynamic organisation working in the UK and with partners around the world to fight poverty and defend human rights, as part of the movement for global justice. We believe a better world is possible. A world in which everyone lives a dignified life free from repression, injustice and climate disaster. We believe that poverty is political: the most effective way to end it is by taking collective action to challenge the structures of inequality and injustice.

War on Want campaigns in the UK to challenge human rights abusing corporations and governments, and hold those responsible for inequality and poverty to account. We publish in-depth research exposing injustice and human rights abuse globally. We work in partnership with grassroots groups, trade unions and workers’ organisations in the Global South. We stand in solidarity with movements fighting for their rights around the world.

The Digital Engagement Officer role is a chance to use your digital marketing, content creation, and fundraising skills to help uproot the causes of global poverty and defend human rights. 

Working under the direction of the Director of Income & Engagement, you will join War on Want at a pivotal time as we embark on an exciting new strategy to bring transformative growth to our supporter base. As part of a dedicated and high performing team, you will rally new supporters to our cause by encouraging them to join War on Want’s email list, take online actions like petitions, and support us financially by becoming a War on Want member with a regular donation. In doing so, your contributions will be felt across the organisation – both increasing the reach and impact of War on Want campaigns, and growing our organisational income.

The right candidate must be passionate about social media advertising and email marketing as this is where they will spend the majority of their time. They will need an advanced understanding of social media trends to deliver attending grabbing paid social media adverts to promote War on Want’s online campaigns and other tactics to drive data capture. These activities will build a pool of new contactable supporters, providing the necessary foundations to run impactful email marketing strategies to grow the number of supporters with an active regular gift and increase wider engagement with War on Want.
