• Location: Flexible, with regular travel to Salford and other BBC locations

Salary: Competitive salary in line with BBC Senior Leader grading

Few organisations have the recognition, reach and ability to bring people together that BBC Children in Need enjoys. For more than four decades, millions of people, businesses, communities and BBC audiences have come together to raise money that changes the lives of children and young people across the UK.

As BBC Children in Need continues its evolution from an organisation historically associated with one remarkable moment in November into a modern, year-round charity, the opportunity is significant: to grow and diversify income, reach new audiences, deepen relationships with supporters and partners, and use its brand, evidence, stories and unique relationship with the BBC to create even greater impact.

We are seeking a Chief Campaigns & Engagement Officer to help lead that next chapter.

A member of the Executive Team, this is a broad and highly influential role spanning income generation, major partnerships, campaigns, brand, audiences, supporters, engagement and storytelling. Working closely with the Chief Executive, colleagues across Children in Need and the BBC, you will help shape how one of the UK's best-known charitable brands grows its reach, relevance and income.

This is not simply a fundraising leadership role. We are looking for someone who understands how to create sustainable growth: turning strong brands into deeper relationships, developing ambitious partnerships, understanding audiences and what motivates them, and creating propositions people want to engage with.

You might currently be a Commercial Director, Fundraising or Income Generation Director, Partnerships Director, Marketing or Customer Director, or hold a similarly broad growth role. You could come from the commercial, voluntary or public sectors. What matters is the quality of your leadership, your commercial judgement, your ability to bring different disciplines together around a clear strategy, and a track record of turning ideas and opportunity into measurable results.

You will also be an accomplished organisational leader, bringing strategic perspective, curiosity and pace. Comfortable operating at Executive and Board level, you will know how to lead talented specialists without needing to be the technical expert in every discipline.

BBC Children in Need has an extraordinary platform. The challenge for its next Chief Campaigns & Engagement Officer is to help make even more of it.

If you are excited by the opportunity to bring together commercial thinking, creativity, partnerships, audiences and purpose to help more children and young people across the UK thrive, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Closing date: 11:59pm Sunday 11th October 2026
