Digital Marketing Manager (Maternity Cover)

We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Manager (maternity cover contract) to join our friendly and collaborative marketing and events team. If you're an experienced digital marketer with a track record of leading campaigns that boost engagement and participation, and if you're excited by user experience, content strategy, and data-led marketing, this could be the perfect role for you.

This is a varied and challenging position, but one that’s incredibly rewarding. You might be working on a high-impact public-facing campaign to champion animal welfare one day; the next, you could be developing content that showcases the voices of our members and promotes the value of joining BVA. You’ll need to be a confident multi-tasker, comfortable managing several projects simultaneously while keeping an eye on performance, brand alignment, and strategic goals.

It’s an exciting time to join BVA as we embark on a major digital transformation project to redevelop our website. If you have experience of working on similar projects - especially with a strong understanding of UX, content hierarchy, and user journeys - you’ll be well placed to help shape a platform that truly serves our members.

You’ll take the lead on a wide range of digital marketing activity. This includes planning and delivering creative, insight-driven campaigns; developing a content strategy that connects with our audiences; managing end-to-end website performance, SEO, and digital advertising; and driving engagement in initiatives like BVA’s annual awards.

You’ll also work closely with our partner organisations, developing joint marketing plans that effectively promote exclusive and discounted benefits for BVA members.

We’re looking for someone who can bring a strategic mindset as well as strong practical skills - from writing engaging content, overseeing multimedia production, and optimising email campaigns, to interpreting data in GA4 to improve performance. You should be confident working across various CMS platforms and multiple channels, with an eye for accessible, user-focused design and messaging.

In return, we offer a supportive, kind, and creative working environment, where you'll be encouraged to bring fresh ideas, try new things, and grow your skills. We care deeply about the work we do - and we’re looking for someone who shares that vision.
