Engineering matters. It underpins our daily lives, drives economic growth, plays a critical role in addressing major societal challenges and helps ensure
our readiness for the future, from providing a sustainable supply of food, water and clean energy, to advancing healthcare, and keeping us safe and secure.
As the UK’s national academy for engineering and technology, the Royal Academy of Engineering brings together the most talented and successful engineers
– our Fellows – to advance and promote excellence in engineering for the benefit of society.
Joining a busy communications team, you will demonstrate your creativity and technical know-how every day as you keep our audiences up-to-date with the
latest news and opportunities via social media, our website and electronic newsletters. Working closely with teams across the Academy, including the Enterprise Hub, you will reach stakeholders ranging from students and researchers to investors and policymakers
with relevant content, raising our profile as a thought-leader and increasing engagement with our work online. Whether you’re designing visually appealing quote cards, developing snappy video content, or drafting blog posts, you’ll apply your creativity, eye
for a story and audience understanding to keep the Academy in a dynamic dialogue with its target audiences, and make yourself an invaluable part of the team.
To hit the ground running, you should be experienced in managing social media channels and using evaluation tools, capable of developing and updating content
proactively, and able to generate top-notch copy. Familiarity with digital marketing and video production would be very useful, but more importantly, you will be well versed in the full social media mix, adept at analysing campaigns, and keen to interact with
senior stakeholders and bring their initiatives and innovations to life. Above all, you will be a true self-starter who can operate effectively under pressure and make things happen every day.
