WHO WE ARE: .
“Remaking the world with and for girls” Purposeful is a movement-building hub for adolescent girls. We amplify girls’ voices, resource their resistance, build solidarity between and across girls’ movements, catalyse collaborative philanthropy and support innovation in grassroots programming with and for girls.
CONTEXT OF THIS ROLE:
At Purposeful, communications is political. It is how we amplify girls’ voices, sharpen feminist narratives, and push back against regressive agendas. The Communications Director will sit at the heart of this work - shaping and delivering a bold communications strategy aligned with Purposeful’s vision, mission, and growth.
This role leads the stewardship of Purposeful’s voice, visual identity, and storytelling practice, ensuring that everything we produce - whether op-eds, reports, campaigns, or digital content - carries our politics with clarity and conviction. The Communications Director will work closely with the Co-CEOs and across all Purposeful teams, including Advocacy, grant-making, Learning & Insights, Programmes, and Resource Mobilisation, to amplify girls’ organising, showcase our impact, and influence the broader philanthropic and activist ecosystem.
This is both a strategic and hands-on role, requiring a deep commitment to feminist movements, an instinct for storytelling as political practice, and a proven track record of positioning organisations on the global stage.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
● Proven experience developing and delivering communications strategies aligned with organisational goals.
● Demonstrated leadership in managing small teams and consultants.
● Strong hands-on skills in digital communication tools (e.g., Mailchimp, Canva, Adobe, basic video editing).
● Extensive experience in content planning and editorial workflows.
● Strong published track record (op-eds, blogs, media features) and evidence of positioning organisations in the public spotlight.
● Excellent writing and editing skills, with experience commissioning and managing creative contributors.
● Experience building and maintaining media relationships, particularly in activist and philanthropic contexts.
● Proven experience overseeing websites and digital platforms, using analytics to inform strategy.
● Strong project management and budget forecasting skills.
