Senior MarComms Manager

ABOUT UWS WHEN WE EDUCATE THE FUTURE, WE CHANGE THE FUTURE Education accelerates poverty reduction, female empowerment, and improved infant mortality. Yet, 251 million children worldwide are out of school. This changes now. UWS works to ensure children have access to quality, inclusive education in remote and marginalised communities by collaborating with local partners, communities and governments. We deliver schools, we train teachers and we strengthen education systems. Our low-cost, high impact model builds capacity, not dependency. This ensures that education systems continue to flourish beyond our involvement. Shifting focus from delivering change in the short term, to empowering change for the long term, we go beyond educating the future, to changing it. Our vision is Zero Education Poverty. UWS is an international nonprofit that was established in 2008 to provide children in remote and marginalised regions access to free quality, inclusive primary education. We currently operate in rural areas of Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Madagascar, working with over 320 communities and over 80,000 children to date.

THE ROLE As Senior Marketing and Communications Manager, you will play a key role in driving forward UWS' approach to audience engagement and development, maximising the acquisition, development and retention of supporters to increase loyalty, impact and long-term value. This is a 12-month maternity cover contract, and we are ideally looking for someone who can start in early June 2026 to allow for a smooth and comprehensive handover with the outgoing postholder. You will hold strategic oversight of UWS' priority audiences, brand, messaging and channels, ensuring our communications and marketing are compelling, consistent and aligned with organisational priorities. You will lead the development and delivery of integrated marketing and communications plans that support both fundraising goals and the profile of UWS across agreed audience segments. In this role, you'll bridge the gap between UWS' internal programme work and how the organisation shows up externally. You'll turn complex programme insights into relatable, motivating content that resonates with supporters, partners, policymakers and the wider global community. You will also line-manage a talented and international team of two Marketing and Communications Managers - one based in the UK and one in Nepal.
