We’re looking for a creative and strategic Digital Communications Manager to help us tell that story, grow our digital presence, and engage audiences with our mission.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced digital communications professional who understands how powerful storytelling, audience insight, and compelling content can build engagement and strengthen a brand.

As our Digital Communications Manager, you will lead the planning, delivery, and continuous improvement of digital communications across a range of channels. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the WEA’s voice is consistent, engaging, and impactful, helping us connect with learners, partners, supporters, and stakeholders.

Working closely with the Senior External Communications and Brand Manager, you’ll develop and deliver digital communications strategies that increase brand awareness, grow engagement, and support organisational objectives.

You’ll take ownership of our digital channels, including social media and email marketing, using data and insight to inform decisions, measure success, and continuously improve performance. From campaign planning and content creation to reporting and optimisation, you’ll help bring the WEA’s mission to life in the digital space.

This role would suit someone who enjoys combining creativity with strategic thinking, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is passionate about using digital communications to make a meaningful difference.
