Bring Barts Charity’s new strategy to life as an Interim Senior Brand Manager, leading creative work for healthier East London lives.

• Location: Hybrid/London EC1A 9BU (Tuesdays & Wednesdays in office with additional attendance as required. Four-month fixed-term contract, from Tuesday 15th December 2026 to Thursday 15th April 2027)
• Salary: £55,000–£58,000 per annum, depending on experience, pro rata for the contract duration and working pattern

Help shape how Barts Charity shares its next chapter. As we prepare to launch our 2027–2032 strategy, we’re looking for an experienced Interim Senior Brand Manager (Brand and Creative) to turn our vision into a compelling creative campaign.

This four-month opportunity combines strategic thinking with hands‑on delivery: turning our defined five-year organisational strategy into a compelling creative campaign that brings our key messages to life and raises awareness of Barts Charity’s work, developing launch materials, directing creative production and championing a consistent brand across our fundraising and communications.

You’ll work closely with our CEO, senior management team and Head of Marketing and Communications, bringing clear priorities, creative judgement and the confidence to deliver at pace.

If you can translate complex ideas into engaging stories and high-quality creative work, join a supportive team helping make better healthcare possible for people across East London.

Who we are

Barts Charity is East London’s oldest healthcare charity and the dedicated charity for Barts Health NHS Trust. We support St Bartholomew’s, Whipps Cross, Newham, The Royal London and Mile End hospitals, alongside medical research at Queen Mary University of London (Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry) and City, St George’s.

Our commitment to fund around £150 million in new projects between 2022 and 2027 supports everything from surgical technology and research to everyday improvements in patient care.

With our partners and supporters, we invest in people and projects that can make the greatest difference to local health, with the potential to benefit lives far beyond East London. Our team of around 45 colleagues is guided by four values: One Team, Ambitious, Open and Accountable.

About the role

Providing temporary cover during extended leave, you’ll lead the creative development and delivery of our 2027–2032 strategy launch. Reporting to the Head of Marketing and Communications, you’ll translate our vision, mission and strategy into clear, engaging creative work that strengthens recognition of Barts Charity and supports our fundraising ambitions.

You’ll combine creative direction with hands‑on delivery, working with colleagues, agencies and suppliers to deliver high-quality work on time and within budget.

Your priorities will include:

• Leading production of the strategy document and supporting launch materials.
• Commissioning and overseeing a brand film and/or photography, subject to agreed scope and budget.
• Championing consistent brand implementation, including templates and practical guidance, and supporting verbal brand development where possible.
• Delivering priority fundraising and marketing briefs across print, digital, video and photography.
• Supporting a review of the Breast Cancer Campaign’s creative performance and providing a clear handover of projects, supplier relationships and brand guidance.

Commitment

This role is a four-month fixed-term contract, from Tuesday 15th December 2026 to Thursday 15th April 2027. Ideally, you will work five days per week (37.5 hours), but four days may be considered for the right candidate.

The role offers hybrid working with office anchor days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; additional office attendance may be required.

Who we are looking for

You’ll be an experienced senior brand and creative professional who can quickly understand organisational priorities, build relationships and take ownership of delivery. Adaptable and strategically minded, you’ll bring a strong eye for brand, excellent writing skills and the confidence to influence stakeholders.

You’ll have a track record of translating organisational strategies into compelling campaigns and content, managing visual and verbal identities, and delivering creative production across multiple channels. Experience writing effective briefs, commissioning photography and/or film, and managing agencies, budgets and deadlines is essential.

You’ll also be comfortable balancing competing demands, working independently and maintaining high standards. Experience launching a corporate brand campaign, refreshed identity or organisational strategy would be particularly valuable; developing verbal brand guidelines is desirable rather than essential.
