Project Manager- Mental Health Campaign - Volunteer

As the Volunteer Project Lead
, you won't just be managing a project; you will be building a movement. Working directly with the Charity’s Founders, you will own the strategic roadmap to connect Sport in Mind with professional sports clubs and high‑profile ambassadors.

Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50 in the UK. Traditional support often fails to break through the stigma—but sport changes the game.

Sport in Mind uses physical activity as a non‑clinical, friendly gateway to mental recovery. With over 90% of our participants reporting improved wellbeing, we know our model works.

Now, we are scaling. Our goal is to mobilise mass awareness through a new initiative. To make this a reality, we need a powerhouse, volunteer Project Lead to drive the charge.

A highly experienced leader with a demonstrated ability to deliver high‑profile, high‑impact campaigns. Above all, we are looking for someone who:

• Wants to learn and solve complex problems, applying information logically rather than relying on rote approaches.
• Has a passion for learning, questioning, and continuous skill development.
• Brings strong analytical thinking, creativity, and persistence to new challenges.
• Is comfortable taking responsibility, identifying opportunities, and acting proactively.
• Has a strong bias for action and thrives in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments.
• Is motivated by purpose and believes in the power of sport to transform mental health.

• Project or programme management experience
• Strategic marketing, partnerships, or fundraising exposure
• Stakeholder management and cross‑functional collaboration
• Strong organisational, communication, and analytical skills
• Interest in sport, mental health or social impact

• Strategic Architecture Build and execute the master plan to reach mass audiences by the end of 2026.
• Partnership Development Identify and "open doors" with sports clubs, male‑dominated industries, and media partners.
• Brand Advocacy Pitch the initiative with conviction to influencers and stakeholders to drive broad awareness and trust.
• Execution Leadership Move fluidly from high‑level strategy to "boots on the ground" execution, ensuring every partnership delivers impact.
