We’re looking for a purpose-driven, entrepreneurial and creative communicator who will develop and execute innovative and effective marketing and communications strategies and campaigns to grow and scale Wildscreen’s reach and impact here in the UK and internationally. 2025 is a big year for Wildscreen, we’ve shifted from a biennial wildlife film and TV industry event and Panda Awards to annual and we’re launching a revamped and ambitious storytelling community platform. You will be integral to the growth and success of these and our other events, programmes and partnerships in Autumn 2025 and beyond. This role is focused on building Wildscreen’s brand, influence and income. This spans everything from helping us to grow our visibility and trust, increasing crucial event ticket income, supporting the development of strategic partnerships with like-minded brands and organisations to growing our international community membership.
