Marketing & Communications Lead

Cornwall Pride is a registered charity dedicated to creating a hate‑free Cornwall where everyone is free to be who they are. We deliver Pride events across the Duchy, reaching communities far and wide, alongside our Safer Spaces initiative, inclusion training, and wellbeing programmes. At our heart, we bring people together to celebrate diversity, champion equality, and support LGBTQ+ people and marginalised communities.

The Role

We are seeking a creative and values‑driven Marketing & Communications Lead to shape how Cornwall Pride connects with the public, the press, and our communities.

Coordinate storytelling – written, video, and digital – from volunteers, partners, and community projects. Ensure LGBTQ+ stories are shared widely, amplifying voices from across Cornwall’s communities, celebrating queer joy and resilience, while also highlighting discrimination.
• Press & Public Narratives: Work with local and national press contacts to pitch stories, respond to media requests, and shape public narratives about LGBTQ+ life in Cornwall. Respond to anti‑LGBTQ+ narratives and hostile press with clear, values‑led messaging. Act as brand guardian, maintaining visual identity, tone of voice, and values‑led representation across all channels.
• Digital Marketing & Design: Develop and deliver inclusive, accessible marketing across posters, social media, newsletters, email, website, and print. Oversee the Cornwall Pride website and social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn), ensuring content is engaging and on‑brand. Design and schedule graphics, reels, newsletters, and digital storytelling campaigns.
