New Product Marketing Manager

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. We work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

As our New Product Marketing Manager, you will scale our innovative new product, Wonderbooks. You will lead on the scaling of this unique subscription product and have ownership of the end-to-end product lifecycle including developing new ways to engage our current audience. 80% of this role will focus on scaling Wonderbooks. The other 20% will be working with the wider team across our exciting innovation pipeline, working to research, ideate and test compelling ideas to generate new income for Save the Children.

You will relaunch and scale the product Wonderbooks across a range of marketing channels including leading and delivering our artist and influencer strategy. You will also manage external suppliers ensuring the monthly fulfilment of the product and support Innovation & Development Leads to develop and deliver our innovation pipeline focused on audience engagement and income generation.

To be successful, you should have significant experience in testing digital products, digital marketing, tracking and analytics, and prototyping. You should also have expertise in conducting or partnering with agencies/internal staff for audience research interviews, workshops, ideation sessions, and sprint delivery. Knowledge and evidence of leading and partnering on key parts of innovation cycles, including research, ideation, prototyping, and testing is also required.

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance. We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be 'Free to Be Me'. We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
