We are the Ocean Conservation Trust (OCT), a global Ocean conservation charity working towards a vision of a healthy Ocean for all. From our base at the National Marine Aquarium (NMA) in Plymouth, UK, we deliver conservation at scale through three interconnected pillars: Ocean Habitats, Ocean Advocacy, and Ocean Experiences. We believe that connecting people with the Ocean is key to driving behaviour change and catalysing systemic action for marine recovery.
This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled and purpose-driven Multimedia Content Officer to join our passionate and committed team. Reporting to the Marketing & Communications Manager, you will develop and deliver the photography, videography and own the organic social media content plans and activities across the breadth of OCT’s work.
You’ll support the Marcoms Manager and Head of Advocacy and Engagement, bringing ideas and content across our OCT programmes that build our profile, generate income via our events, experiences and Learning team, support fundraising, promote the role of our visitor attraction, and amplify the impact of our Ocean conservation work. This role focuses on creating amazing multimedia content such as photography, videography and audio content for all our media channels and programmes, as well as storytelling for our organic socials, adapting our key messages to our diverse audiences, driving engagement and communicating across multiple channels.
As your role will work collaboratively with many departments and stakeholders within the OCT, you will be familiar with tailoring messaging and flexing your ways of working with the relevant department heads and team members to develop and deliver campaigns and activities in a timely manner, some of which also convert into income for the charity.
You’ll be able to demonstrate experience within Marketing or Communications roles. Having experience within conservation or charities would be desirable. You’ll be passionate about our cause, with a positive, can-do attitude and capacity for learning.
You’ll work Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm based at the National Marine Aquarium, in Plymouth. There may be times you’re needed outside of this to meet business needs, such as weekends and bank holidays where you will be eligible for TOIL. There may be opportunity for flexibility to work from home on occasion, fitting around work priorities and other team members.
We offer a competitive salary, continuous training, company pension scheme, life assurance, staff discounts, a day off on your birthday and an excellent working environment.
