The UK is home to a glittering roster of famous people from refugee backgrounds including celebrities, Nobel scientists and sports stars.

If you have a natural storytelling ability and a passion to work on digital communications across the refugee and migration sector, apply to be the IMIX Digital Communications Manager.

We are looking for an experienced media director to support our high performing team to work across the migration space to find case studies, train spokespeople, craft messages /campaign material and talk to journalists.
