The Royal Society of Literature (RSL) is looking for a positive and proactive Digital Officer to support us in an exciting time of growth and development for our charity.

The RSL’s vision is of a world in which everyone has access to literature in its many and various forms; everyone can feel that literature is ‘for them’.

Our mission is to widen engagement with, and access to, literature through innovative programmes, supporting readers and encouraging writers at all stages of their journey.

Reporting to the Head of Communications, your work will contribute to the RSL’s communications and audience development.

Following recent updates to the RSL's websites and branding, this is an exciting time to join our team and help to diversify the RSL’s growing programme of work, led by principles of experimentation, inclusivity and accessibility.

As well as sharing vital aspects of our work with the public and partners, you will bring a sense of fun to our social media channels, feeling confident to inject personality into developing the tone and voice of the organisation.

This is a busy, varied, fun and rewarding role, where you’ll get to work independently while being supported by the rest of the team.

This job is for you if:

• you have experience in a similar role within an arts or culture context or equivalent, confidently communicating – in person and in writing – with a wide range of stakeholders in a professional, upbeat manner
• you have experience of creating dynamic content for a diverse range of audiences across multiple digital channels
• you have competency in working with Microsoft Office Suite and across social media platforms
• you are able to win support from a wide range of people and collaborate closely with colleagues across programmes
• you are independent and highly organised in managing a complex workload and meeting numerous deadlines
• you are able to evaluate data on audience growth, and report to others in order to inform decision-making and improve engagement
• you have a strong understanding of brand and tone of voice
• you are enthusiastic about the work of the RSL
• you can show a demonstrable commitment to equality of opportunity, accessibility, and inclusion
• you can be collaborative in a small, busy team, working together to achieve the RSL’s objectives
• you are team-oriented but take individual responsibility
• you are proactive and have a positive approach to solving problems
• you are resourceful and embrace challenges and change
• you are flexible and willing to learn
• you have a passion for working in the charity sector, with a particular interest in arts, culture, and heritage organisations
