Job Description

Marketing Officer - Churchmarketplace (CMP)
Salary: 28,000-30,000 (depending on experience)
Location: Home-based, with the option to work from your local Diocese office
Hours: 25-35 hours per week (negotiable)
Contract: Permanent
Are you a creative and driven marketing professional looking for a role where your ideas can truly make a difference?
We're recruiting on behalf of Churchmarketplace (CMP) - a not-for-profit organisation supporting Catholic schools, parishes, and dioceses across England and Wales with ethical, cost-effective procurement solutions. This is a unique opportunity to join a mission-aligned team and help shape how we communicate with two distinct and influential audiences.
About the Role
As their new Marketing Officer, you'll lead on all aspects of marketing strategy and delivery. You'll be the driving force behind campaigns that promote CMP's services to:

• CEOs and Headteachers across 2,000 Catholic schools - helping them discover smarter procurement solutions.
• COOs and CEOs from 30 Catholic dioceses nationwide - showcasing how CMP can support their operational needs.

Although this is a home-based role, there is also the option to work from your local Diocese office. You'll also join the team for quarterly in-person meetings and occasional travel to conferences and events.
This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced marketing officer to innovate, introduce better ways of working, and make a real impact in a values-led organisation.
What You'll Be Doing

• Leading multi-channel marketing campaigns (email, social media, website, newsletters, events)
• Collaborating with suppliers to tailor messaging and drive engagement
• Managing and updating marketing materials and digital content
• Analysing campaign performance and reporting on impact
• Building relationships with diocesan communication teams and the Catholic Education Service
• Supporting cross-team collaboration and contributing to a culture of continuous improvement

What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone who is:

• Experienced working within the charity/non-profit or education sectors.
• Energetic, personable, and highly organised
• A skilled communicator with excellent writing and presentation abilities
• Experienced in using marketing tools like Canva, Mailchimp, and Coda
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a remote team
• Sympathetic to the mission and ethos of the Catholic Church

A marketing qualification is highly desirable, and while you don't need to be a practicing Catholic, an understanding of the Church's structure and values will be a strong advantage.
Why Join CMP?
You'll be part of a small, passionate team committed to delivering best value and reducing environmental impact in alignment with Catholic social teaching. You'll have the freedom to innovate, the support to grow, and the chance to contribute to a meaningful mission.
