CanDo is on a mission to enable local humanitarians to provide life-saving healthcare in communities devastated by war. We believe everyone is a humanitarian. Together we channel resources where they have the biggest impact and can save the most lives: on the front lines, in local hands.  Despite being only two years old we have successfully funded health projects and services ranging from secondary care, to psychosocial, hygiene and nutrition, benefiting over 315,000 people in war-torn Syria. Pretty impressive, don’t you think? If you want to be part of a dedicated team busy transforming the way the world supports war-affected communities then this is the role for you. Join us! As our new Marketing Director, you will be an experienced, inspired and inspirational communicator with a proven track record of delivering successful and imaginative marketing and media campaigns, who is excited at the opportunity to support our pioneering model, represent our mission and grow our organisation. Working closely with our founder-CEO and leading our marketing and communications team, you will develop and elevate the CanDo brand, devising campaigns to build our community, drive traffic to our platform, support income generation and get us to a good product/market fit. You will have well-honed skills, a positive attitude and possess the ability to thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced and entrepreneurial organisation as part of a diverse, collaborative and committed team. We have innovation at our heart and encourage every one of our team to take initiative and responsibility, bringing their own personality and creativity to growing CanDo together. We offer great flexibility in working arrangements. We work remotely, so you can work with us from anywhere with good wifi signal and within a 4-hour time zone of GMT. You can organise your working hours to suit you and your other commitments as long as you are available for virtual meetings and are able to travel from time to time for face to face meetings. Who we are CanDo is a start-up social enterprise built on audacious achievements, kick-started by a campaign to build the world’s first crowd-funded hospital and drive the entire provision of medical equipment in convoy all the way from London to the Syrian border. Inadequate resourcing of local humanitarian organisations is preventing millions of people from receiving life-saving aid, causing excessive suffering and unnecessary deaths around the globe. Data and our experience of working with local humanitarians in war-torn Syria led us to realise that while they deliver 75% of the humanitarian work, they receive less than 1% of direct funding. CanDo is mobilising a global community to resource local humanitarians to lead agile, effective, cost-efficient health interventions. Our crowdfunding platform is pioneering people-to-people aid by connecting local humanitarians with global citizens, philanthropists and strategic partners who will support their health projects. Our founder and CEO, Dr Rola Hallam, is regarded as a global thought leader. She is an advocate for the protection of civilians and the upholding of medical neutrality, the localisation of humanitarian aid and women’s rights. Rola is the first Syrian TED fellow and her talk has had over 1m views. We have started a transformative partnership with Google with the support of over 30+ engaged Google volunteers. Our Mindset We believe in working for change with  Optimism, Courage, Connectedness, Pioneering and Openness . Our values shape our relationships with all our stakeholders and how we work as a team.
