Digital Content Manager - 6 Month FTC

About the Role
Whether you’re talking about length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount or the brightness of light, the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) sets the standards by which these things are all measured. It means we’ve got a lot of great news to share externally. As our Digital Content Manager, you’ll manage our digital communications so that we engage with our people and strengthen our reputation with customers and stakeholders. 

Working with the Corporate Communications Leader, you’ll help develop and implement a digital communications plan that delivers exemplary content for NPL.
About You
A senior member of the Marketing and Communications team, you will work alongside the Corporate Communications Leader to plan and deliver NPL’s digital content. You will be responsible for creating, curating and assessing our content across our digital platforms to align with NPL’s communications goals and objectives.

You will be responsible for implementing and maintaining digital content strategies that work for specific audiences, aligned to NPL's goals and objectives and you will also be responsible for establishing and proactively managing a calendar for digital content to create short and long-term content campaigns for different digital channels.

You will use your specialist knowledge and understanding in digital communications to guide and support colleagues across the organisation to ensure their work receives online engagement. You will be adept at using online platforms and tools to measure the success of digital content and report this back to the Corporate Communications Leader.

Maintaining positive and constructive relationships and providing professional advice and expertise to continually develop, implement and review the organisation’s social media and email marketing strategies is crucial to this role and you will lead an exemplary digital content team to produce high quality, timely outputs.

Beyond that, we are looking for someone who will thrive in an environment like ours. At NPL, we learn from each other, respect each other and work together to do better. For ourselves and for our customers. And whilst we are always looking to stretch beyond what we know, we don’t make things more complicated when there is no need.

We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.

Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
