want everyday moments of magic to be shared so that the outside world can see
how important our work is, how great our experience is, and how important it is to
support us with funding too.
3. Digital and social — Manage the evolution of our website, how we position and
maximise our impact through social, SEO, affiliate programmes, and digital screens at
the science centre. We are moving to a’ digital first’ approach and you will be the

the materials and approach needed to connect them to their audiences and drive
the delivery of their engagement and income plans (including the schools programme,
outreach, community, events and fundraising activities)
7. Business management — You will manage a team of three colleagues, an annual
budget, develop a multi-year marketing plan, and provide ongoing performance
reports. You’ll also play an active role in our Manager network, building new ideas and
better connectivity between teams.

marketing plan that is aligned to organisational strategy and business plans, develop
budgets and give positive direction to colleagues to maximise team effectiveness
and individual performance
3. Experience of visitor attractions and the charity marketplace — Our public science
engagement centre is key to what we do. You will lead on visitor marketing,
relationship building and permission marketing. You’ll do this in a way that recognises
we are a charity, driven by Mission and Purpose. Having experience of bringing in the
public and shaping messaging to a mission-led organisation are essential.
