For over a century, The King’s Fund has worked to improve people’s health and care. We tackle the thorniest questions facing our health and care system, and in turn society. We do this through our research, analysis and insight; leadership and organisational development with health and care leaders; convening and events; and partnering with others. With bold thinking for better health, we’re on a mission to inspire hope and confidence that we can create a world where everyone lives a healthy life. About the role We're seeking a strategic and creative senior marketing and communications leader to join us as Assistant Director – Marketing Communications. This is a vital and exciting time, as we help to shape what the future of health and care looks like with our new strategy, refreshed brand, and a reshaped communications and engagement directorate. In this pivotal new role, you will shape how we engage our audiences at a time of major change across the health and care system. You will lead a multidisciplinary team to deliver bold, innovative campaigns that strengthen our impact, raise our profile, and support income generation across our work. From content and digital strategy to integrated planning and audience engagement, this is your opportunity to drive high-impact marcomms for one of the most respected organisations in the health and care space. Reporting to the Director of Communications and Engagement, you will oversee the development and implementation of key strategies – including channel, brand, content, and audience – to ensure our communications are joined-up, data-informed, and results-driven. You’ll lead a talented, creative team with a strong focus on collaboration, performance, and continuous improvement, helping to embed a culture of storytelling, innovation, and purposeful communication. Your leadership will be instrumental in helping us shape the external environment and influence behaviours through powerful marketing and brand engagement. We’re looking for someone with extensive experience in senior marcomms roles, strong leadership skills, and a deep understanding of how digital, creative, and strategic marketing can drive change. If you’re excited by the idea of joining a values-driven organisation that puts people first, challenges the status quo, and is committed to a healthier future for all – we’d love to hear from you.
