Location: Shoreditch, London

Salary: £20 – £26k depending on experience

The DoNation is a start-up on a mission to make sustainability mainstream. We'd love to hear from enthusiastic go-getters who want to help accelerate our business and mission forward.

About you

- Sustainability is your bag; you’re both passionate and optimistic about making a positive change in the world.

- You’re an excellent communicator – articulate and punchy.

- Writing comes naturally to you and you’re known to throw out the occasional witty pun. You’re an admirer of damn good copy & microcopy, and go ‘yeah!’ when you see it.

- Ideally you'll have some digital marketing experience, setting strategies and analysing their success.
 
- You keep on top of the latest sustainability trends and innovations; you might even know a few things about the tech world.
 
- You love a bit of social media.

- You don’t mind being flexible, having a go at this and that, and sometimes juggling lots of balls (actual juggling skills are not a pre-requisite, but that would be pretty cool too).

- You’re proactive, enthusiastic, and a ‘doer’.

- You get a kick out of being organised.

- You fit in well with a team and enjoy a good chat.

- You’re up for shedding some sweat as a DoNation Doer.

What will you be doing?

Marketing

- Helping to develop and implement a comprehensive marketing strategy.

- Ongoing analysis of the impact and success of the marketing strategy.

- Spotting good opportunities for sales, partnerships and publicity.

- Attending industry events.

Communications

- Producing monthly newsletters, blogs and articles.

- Managing all social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram).

- Creating great copy and microcopy for the Do Good for Business platform.

- Creating and updating supporting communications for client programmes.

Creating DoActions

- Carrying out in-depth research for a range of new DoActions.

- Writing persuasive and fun copy around new DoActions.

- Developing and managing new partnerships to support the DoActions.

What does The DoNation do exactly?

The DoNation is a platform where people can make, measure and share personal pledges, to do things like recycling, switching off lights or sharing with neighbours. We’re all about showing people that the small things we do add up to make a big difference, helping them to form healthy and environmentally friendly habits.

We do this through Do Good for Business, an online programme that helps companies to save money by engaging employees in energy-saving, health boosting, sustainable actions. Teams of staff compete against one another to make the most pledges and save the most carbon. See here for a case study.

We also have our non-profit arm, Donate by Doing. This is a sponsorship platform, much like JustGiving, but instead of donating cash, people ‘donate’ actions. See here for a nice example.

What would you get out of it?

- Being part of a small team; you’ll be giving input on business strategy from day one

- Coming in at an exciting time of growth – we’re just in the final weeks of a big crowdfunding campaign which will allow us to really scale up our operations.

- Offices in the heart of Shoreditch (so there’s always a great cup of coffee around the corner!)

- A relaxed working environment

- Being on the edge of social innovation; we’ve just finished at the Wayra UnLtd accelerator academy and been crowned as one of Britain’s ’50 New Radicals’ by The Observer.
