The Engagement Lead is the driving force behind the Cable’s presence and engagement with people in Bristol, and responsible for our membership growth and retention. You’ll build and deepen our relationships with existing and new members among Bristol’s many communities and organisations, via outreach activities and events that connect people with our journalism and the wider conversations around it.
You’ll organise informative and empowering community events in collaboration with community members, democratically engage our membership in driving the Cable forward, and pull off big public events such as our AGM, training workshops, and high-profile speaker events.
You’ll coordinate our volunteers, including our board of voluntary directors, and identify areas and new opportunities for volunteers to get involved such as distributing our quarterly magazine and promoting the Cable among their communities.
Your first points of focus will be contributing to our next membership campaign, and developing our community and member engagement strategy. We are looking for somebody to consolidate and improve our approach to gaining and retaining members, working with volunteers and directors, and finding new audiences. Your role will be core to the Cable’s mission and future sustainability.
Aside from our main roles, every Cable team member is part of the staff cooperative. We all have a shared stake in the work we do and how we work together, so all team members contribute to key decisions and the overall direction of the Cable, including our priorities, strategy and general operations.
