Marketing and Sales Manager

What will you be doing?

We are seeking an experienced Marketing & Sales Manager to support the ethical growth, visibility and accessibility of our education, wellbeing and youth leadership programmes across South Africa, Sudan and Northern Ireland, and through India and global partnerships.

This is a delivery-aware, systems-focused senior leadership role. You will support the development of clear, ethical marketing and sales systems that enable Programme Directors and delivery teams to focus on impact with children, young people and educators, while ensuring communications and growth align with safeguarding, wellbeing and organisational values.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading marketing and sales planning aligned to programme priorities and delivery capacity
• Supporting school, partner and stakeholder engagement journeys
• Overseeing ethical storytelling, messaging and campaign coordination
• Ensuring safeguarding-aware communications, consent processes and content standards
• Collaborating closely with Programme Directors, digital learning and product teams
• Supporting clarity of offer, pricing narratives and access pathways (where relevant)

This is a leadership role focused on systems, messaging coherence, ethical conversion and sustainability.

The role builds on confirmed funding, established programmes and active partnerships, with a focus on strengthening coordination across countries and supporting responsible, values-led growth. You will work as part of a peer leadership group alongside Programme Directors and Assistants, helping bridge strategy and delivery and embedding wellbeing-centred youth leadership in practice.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking a committed, values-led individual with significant professional experience in marketing, communications or sales, who is motivated by youth impact, equity and ethical growth.

You should have:

• At least 3–5 years’ professional experience in marketing, communications, sales or a related field
• Strong communication and messaging skills, with the ability to translate complex work clearly and responsibly
• Experience supporting or coordinating campaigns, engagement journeys or outreach activity
• Strategic thinking combined with practical, delivery-aware judgement
• Confidence working in a collaborative, values-led organisation
• An interest in education, youth leadership, wellbeing or social impact

Experience in charities, CICs or social enterprises is highly valued but not essential.

You do not need prior experience with Design for Change. However, you should be open to learning and working within an established global methodology, and committed to engaging respectfully with underserved communities. A background specifically in education or the community sector is not required, provided you bring relevant transferable experience and a clear ethical orientation.

For this role specifically, it is helpful if you have experience in:

• Ethical marketing or communications in education, youth or social impact contexts
• Supporting school engagement, programme recruitment or partnership communications
• Working across multiple stakeholders or geographic contexts
   

We are particularly interested in applicants who:

• Are based in Northern Ireland (though this is not essential)
• Bring lived experience of migration, cultural transition or integration
• Have experience in arts, mindfulness, yoga or wellbeing practice alongside professional expertise
• Are motivated by equity, youth voice and ethical leadership
   

This role suits someone who wants to actively contribute, enjoys shaping systems and narratives that support others to deliver well, and is excited by working at both local and international levels.

What difference will you make?

Your contribution will directly strengthen eduSOIL’s sustainability, reach and clarity across Northern Ireland, South Africa, Sudan, India and global partnerships.

By strengthening ethical marketing and sales systems, you will:

• Improve clarity and accessibility of programmes for schools and partners
• Support sustainable participation and income without compromising values
• Protect safeguarding and wellbeing standards in all communications
• Enable Programme Directors and delivery teams to focus on youth impact
   

With a dedicated Marketing & Sales Manager, eduSOIL can:

• Communicate its offer clearly and responsibly across different contexts
• Increase programme reach, consistency and quality
• Support partners, volunteers and educators through clearer engagement pathways
• Strengthen trust, visibility and long-term sustainability
   

This role bridges strategy and delivery, ensuring that wellbeing-centred youth leadership is communicated and supported in practice, not just policy.
