About you

‍

Responsibilities

As Head of Outreach and Communications, you will be responsible for dramatically increasing the number of exceptional teenagers we support. Your work will reach and inspire thousands of the world’s most talented high schoolers.

You will own all aspects of our outreach strategy and its execution, expanding on our existing success and testing new approaches. Working closely with and reporting directly to the CEO, Peter McIntyre, you’ll be a senior member of our executive team helping steer the direction of our organization.

You might do things like:

• Develop partnerships with elite competitions & youth orgs to identify top performers.
• Oversee a £100k+ partnership grantmaking budget.
• Experiment with novel outreach approaches, like collaborating with popular YouTubers.
• Oversee a contract designer, software developer and marketing agency to expand our reach.
• Develop resources and programs to upskill promising candidates for the fellowship.
• Establish KPIs to rigorously evaluate outreach efficacy.
• Lead the development and maintenance of the organization's brand.
• Recruit, develop, and manage a team working towards growing the reach and impact of our programs.

What we look for

You might be a particularly good fit for this role if you:

• Share our passion for empowering people who want to solve the world’s most pressing problems.
• Have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. You convey complex ideas clearly and transparently. You may have significant writing experience (e.g., blogging or publishing articles).
• Enjoy solving difficult problems. You carefully use reason and research the best available evidence to answer mission-critical questions.
• Can build and nurture meaningful professional relationships with a wide range of people.
• Are detail-oriented, organized, and conscientious. You can manage the many demands on your time by prioritizing effectively.

‍

It’s a bonus but not required to have:

• Experience in marketing, communication, business development, or public relations.
• Experience in one of our focus areas (AI safety, biosecurity etc.).
• Experience in research, policy, community building, or (non-profit) entrepreneurship.

‍We know the perfect candidate may not tick every box. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet all criteria, especially if you come from an underrepresented background.

Logistics

• We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Many of our strongest candidates won’t meet every requirement. People from underrepresented backgrounds may be particularly likely to rule out positions that they could be a good match for. So we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and submit an application if you’re interested in our work.
• Location: Non-Trivial's core team is based in London but we are open to a remote position for the right candidate. Some travel to our London office several times per year is expected.
• UK visa support: We welcome international applicants and can provide visa sponsorship for eligible candidates. Effective Ventures (Non-Trivial’s fiscal sponsor) has successfully sponsored multiple visa applications. We can’t guarantee that your application will be successful, but if you’re offered a role we’ll do our best to get you into the UK.
