Your Mission

As part of a startup, this role is broad and dynamic with scope to grow in a way that you advise. We are now at an inflection point where demand for partners to work with us is so high that we need a dedicated lead who can shape how Goodwall is understood, trusted and chosen by partners, investors and global stakeholders. You will own the external narrative of Goodwall: ensuring our work with youth, partnerships and impact translate into credibility, relevance, and Goodwall’s growth. You will operate across strategic communications, partner marketing and content: defining what we say, how we say it, and ensuring everything we put into the world meets a high standard. You are a commercially minded storyteller and operator who combines strategic thinking, elite writing ability and strong judgment.
