The role
We’re looking for an exceptional storyteller with an eye for a media hook, excellent writing skills, and the ability to spot an opportunity and pitch the idea. This is a newly created role with an exciting and ambitious global remit in an established Communications and Marketing team.
Reporting to the Director of Communications and Marketing, you will be responsible for developing and implementing the Foundation’s media strategy to raise our profile and increase our global impact.

A highly collaborative team player, you will enjoy working alongside a team of communications, marketing, and social media experts, as well as managing relationships with external PR agencies. Our educational programmes have global reach, so we’re looking for someone who has the ability and confidence to work at that level. The ideal candidate will be able to juggle competing priorities, work at pace, and be calm under pressure.
We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers.

About us
The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based educational charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.
Established in 2008 and first known for our product — the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer — the Foundation has developed education programmes, learning experiences, and products that are helping millions of young people learn vital new knowledge and skills
Through Code Club and CoderDojo, we support the world’s largest network of free informal computing clubs for young people. Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources. To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, we conduct academic research, and we use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.
Across all of our work, we work hard to engage young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing or who experience educational disadvantage. We work all over the world, with teams based in the UK, Ireland, North America, and India, and partnerships with mission-aligned organisations in over 40 countries.
We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making. You can read more about our mission, values, and goals in our Annual Review 2022 and our Strategy 2022–2025.
