Alpha Marketing Manager

For many years, Alpha has hosted the Leadership Conference at the Royal Albert Hall - a global gathering designed to inspire and equip leaders to grow in Christ-like leadership, with the potential to change lives and transform the world. This role will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the Leadership Conference’s annual marketing strategy, with a clear understanding of Alpha’s wider strategic objectives: filling the room with strategic global leaders and using the conference as a platform to serve and equip the global church as part of Alpha’s wider mission.

The role will oversee all marketing activity for the Leadership Conference, including social media, print and event marketing, video briefs, and the project management and delivery of all other marketing requirements. The role will also take responsibility for The Thread podcast, Alpha’s leader-facing podcast. This will include researching speakers, overseeing promotional activity, particularly across social media, growing the podcast’s audience, and ensuring The Thread supports both the Leadership Conference and Alpha’s wider growth objectives.
