Purpose of Job

We’re looking for a creative and organised Marketing & Communications Manager to help grow and deepen our audiences, raise awareness of the UPP, and drive engagement across all our communications channels.

This is a hands-on role with responsibility for planning and delivering campaigns, managing our digital and in-venue channels, overseeing press and PR, and creating content that reflects the energy and values of our community cinema.

You’ll be part of a small management team, collaborating with the Head of Programming and Partnerships and Executive Director to deliver joined-up audience development activity and support key business priorities including fundraising, hires, and events. This role would suit someone with experience in arts, film exhibition, or charity marketing, who enjoys combining creative content development with contributing to the strategic direction of an independent, community business.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

You may not have worked in a cinema before, or in an organisation like the UPP. Perhaps you have worked in a marketing department as part of a public venue or attraction, an educational establishment like a university or within a company – which are very transferable contexts.

If you are from a background that is underrepresented in the culture sector (for example you are from a community that experiences racism or you are a disabled person, or you did not go to University or had free school meals as a child), and you would like support to articulate how your experience is transferable to this role, you can book time with us (we will ensure the person you meet is not involved in the recruitment process). They would be pleased to help you think this through. Please request this by emailing Becs Morris, [email protected], we will not ask you to disclose your background.

The closing date for all applications is: Sunday 27 July 2025
We will contact all long-listed candidates by: 5pm on Wednesday 30th July 2025
