You will be confident engaging with different audiences including civil society and businesses, such as training and advising on activating business to support LGBTQ+ rights. You will have experience leading a small team to ensure value for money, right budgets, and timely delivery, and of running events and communications to engage with a variety of audiences.

Digital Content Lead

We’re recruiting a Digital Content Lead who be responsible for all content development, including social (organic and paid), website and design.

This is an exciting role in a fast-paced organisation committed to ensuring LGBTQ+ inclusion globally. We are looking for a confident colleague who is as comfortable translating data to vertical video and carousels as they are drafting social copy and designing decks and event invites. The postholder will need to stick to brand guidelines and build our external brand identity while also looking for innovative and engaging ideas to present content for a range of stakeholders.

You will be passionate about using content creation to bring data and research to life and have strong skills in design and digital. You might be a designer with a flair for content creation, or a social media wiz with the demonstrable ability to design key assets. You could come from a corporate background, a non-profit background or be entirely self-taught.

The Open For Business Fellowship

The Open for Business Fellowship is an opportunity for employees from our coalition partners to work with our core team for 3 to 12 months on a specific aspect of the coalition. It’s a respected leadership development program that provides Fellows with exposure to global LGBTQ+ rights and gives them large amounts of responsibility over running key parts of a global charity.

Brunswick, GSK and Deloitte have all taken advantage of the Fellowship. There are a variety of Fellowships that we offer, and they each have a flexible length, though we suggest 3-12 months. The program greatly benefits employees by developing their key skills and exposing them to a global view on LGBTQ+ inclusion. The Fellowship positions we have open are listed below.
