Marketing & Communications Recruitment
Our dedicated recruitment team specialises in sourcing professionals with the creativity, strategic acumen, and passion to elevate your brand and amplify your message. Whether you need marketing managers, communications directors, content creators, or digital strategists, we tap into our expansive network and sector expertise to find talent that will enhance your outreach, foster community engagement, and drive your mission forward.
Where Storytelling Drives Change
At Prospectus, we understand that marketing and communications in the not-for-profit sector requires a fundamentally different approach from commercial marketing. It’s about authentic storytelling that builds trust, transparent communication that maintains accountability, and creative strategies that maximize impact within resource constraints. Our 70-year history in purpose-driven recruitment has taught us how to identify professionals who combine commercial marketing excellence with genuine passion for social change.
Purpose-driven organisations need marketing and communications professionals who can navigate this complex environment while staying true to organisational values. They need storytellers who understand data analytics, brand builders who prioritise inclusivity, and digital strategists who can balance innovation with accessibility. Most importantly, they need professionals who are genuinely motivated by mission and understand that their work contributes directly to positive social change.
Our Expertise
We know that your organisation’s impact is amplified through strategic marketing and communications. We are dedicated to connecting you with top-tier professionals who not only understand your mission but are passionate about contributing their skills to drive positive change. We work in partnership with you, taking the time to really understand your requirements so we can find the right talent to transform not just your visibility, but your entire approach to creating positive social impact.
Whether you’re launching a new cause, scaling your communications capability, or seeking transformational creative leadership, we have expertise in recruiting for permanent, contract and interim roles and can provide a range of flexible services to suit your needs.
