Job Title: Marketing & Business Development Executive

Reports to: Marketing & Communications Director

Hours and Location: Full Time Monday to Friday. 9.00am to 5.30pm. Home based with travel to central London as required,

Salary: £18,000 - £24,000 p.a dependent on experience.

Overview

If you are looking for a marketing and fundraising role where you can use your expertise to help to create significant positive changes in the world then this could be the role for you.

Ethical Goods is a consultancy with social purpose at its heart. We offer a range of services to help organisations develop innovative ideas that aim to change the world and we provide the people that can make these exciting initiatives happen. We help to find the funding and innovation for charities, social or planet focused enterprises. We also help organisations to get ready for philanthropic or commercial investment by investing our own team and funds to create world changing opportunities for people, planet and profit.

An example of one of our past innovations is VaccinAid in which we aimed to ‘Give the World a Shot’ by building a campaign around the concept of "vaccine gratitude" during the pandemic. We took our idea to one of our clients Crowdfunder and to a number of iNGOs as a potential partner. The world's largest vaccine delivery organisation, UNICEF jumped at the chance to be involved. This idea facilitated other partnerships including match funding from the Gates Foundation and growth from UNICEF UK to other parts of the UNICEF family. The creative agency Mother helped deliver an integrated creative campaign ensuring the appeal was visible in vaccine clinics across the UK, resulting in raising well over £10m. So if you like the idea of helping to create change on this scale, read on…

The Marketing and Fundraising Executive role will support across a wide variety of projects and activities. A fundamental part of the role will be to help with the marketing and communications of Ethical Goods, to generate awareness of our work and attract new business. The other part of the role will be working with our diverse client base on their own marketing, fundraising and partnerships activity.

This is an exciting first or second role for a person with some experience in marketing, communications, fundraising and / or account management, in either a voluntary or employee capacity. We are a small but dynamic team so you will be expected to get stuck in from day one, but you will also be given the opportunity to learn and develop your professional and personal skills, as well as be exposed to the huge network of remarkable people that we work with.

As the role is predominantly homebased you will need to be self-motivated and comfortable with conferencing technology such as Google Meet and Zoom for taking part in daily video meetings.

Travel to our shared workspace in London on a weekly basis is encouraged.

Values-Aligned Investing for Faith-Based Charities

Last week we co-hosted another popular and thought provoking event at the RSA.

The event consisted of a fascinating discussion by the following panelists:

Suzie O’Brien, Managing Director of The Bishop Radford Trust
Reuben Coulter, Managing Partner at Ignis Global and Senior Advisor at Faith Driven Investor
Fred Kooij, Chief Investment Officer, Tribe Impact Capital
Carli Baldasare, Head of Charities, Tribe Impact Capital (host)

5 Key takeaways:

1. Can UK charities make investments aligned with their faith or values? Absolutely.

2. The Bishop Radford Trust highlighted the success that a charity can have by applying an impact lens to their portfolio (more on this here).

3. We busted 3 common myths around impact investment for charities:

Myth 1: Impact investing is legally at odds with trustees’ fiduciary duties. Incorrect, UK Charity Commission allows trustees wide discretion in determining investment style (as recently clarified by the Butler-Sloss case).
Myth 2: Impact investing yields concessionary returns. Not true, 90% of surveyed UK impact investors report returns in-line or exceeding targets (according to the Impact Investing Institute). The profile of an impact portfolio can mirror that of a traditional portfolio in key characteristics, such as: performance, yield, liquidity, and risk metrics.
Myth 3: Impact investing comes with higher risk and smaller product selection. Incorrect, you can access impactful investments in both private and public markets which are diversified with global exposure and multiple themes.

4. Only focussing attention on the small percent that you grant for impact misses a big piece of the equation, investing your larger endowment in the right way can create impact in healthcare, environment, social housing and many other critical areas.

5. Gaining consensus with trustees is important when establishing new ways of investing, this is best done via the creation of a responsible investment policy for your charity.
