Can you inspire people about sustainability? Do you care about safeguarding our oceans and want to be part of an organisation whose mission is to see our global seas teeming with life? If you’re a skilled marketeer and care about our oceans, then we want to meet you. We are looking for a UK Marketing Manager for a one-year maternity cover to work with the MSC, a leading marine NGO committed to protecting our oceans by using science to set standards for sustainable fishing practices all around the world. It’s a busy job in a high-performing, friendly team. You’ll be juggling multiple projects, building marketing relationships with our partners in some of the UK’s top FMCG brands, promoting the MSC’s mission and vision through creative, eye-catching campaigns, and driving engagement with MSC’s successful UK Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Who are you?

The UK Marketing Manager combines strategic thinking with a ‘hands-on’ approach. Creative thinking is a must, as is working collaboratively with other members of the UK marcomms team and the UK Fisheries and Commercial outreach teams. We’re looking for a real team player, able to execute winning creative and strategically inspiring campaigns.  You will also be:

• An experienced FMCG marketer with proven ability for producing excellent promotional materials and running engaging campaigns,

Who are we?

The MSC’s vision is for the world’s oceans to be teeming with life, and seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations.  Through our internationally-recognised certification and ecolabeling programme well-managed sustainable fisheries are recognised and rewarded in the market place, through the leadership of our partners.  Critically, other fisheries are incentivised to improve their performance to meet the growing demand for certified sustainable and traceable seafood choice. Over 400 fisheries around the world, representing 14% of the annual global marine catch, are now engaged in the MSC programme and over 1200 documented improvements to the way our oceans are being fished have been recorded.  MSC certified and labelled seafood products are now available in over 100 countries.

The role is based in our conveniently located office in central London (EC1A 2DH), with occasional travel for partner meetings and events.
