Engagement & Marketing Director (Maternity Cover)

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Engagement & Marketing Director role was created last year to drive forward our next
strategic phase of engagement – determining how we influence, engage and mobilise people and
communities to plant and protect urban trees. The maternity cover will continue to work closely
with the senior team to finalise the engagement strategy and implement from 2025. The maternity
cover will lead our Engagement & Marketing team to drive awareness and understanding of the
importance of urban trees, deepening our connections with urban communities, growing our
communications reach to engage target audiences, and boosting our Individual Giving programmes
linked to regular giving, payroll giving and legacies.

The successful candidate will be a proven community engagement professional with senior-level
marketing experience, a demonstrable track record of team leadership and experience of
developing and delivering against strategic objectives. You will be credible and comfortable
operating at senior levels with third sector stakeholders as well as grassroots communities.
