Stories Lead
CurrentI manage Scope's stories team to find new storytellers, maintain existing relationships and work across Scope to support the delivery of story-led content at the heart of its campaigns, fundraising appeals, press and digital communications, print and digital marketing.I interview disabled people, parents and carers, supporting them to share their experience. I oversee the transcription of interviews and editing of those transcripts into templates centrally accessible on Scope's Digital Asset Management Library. I organise and attend photography and film shoots for assets used across a range of projects.I commission storytellers to write about their experience and work closely with the social media team, finding ways to amplify stories through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.I use my project management skills to maintain close communication with storytellers involved at different levels across multiple projects happening simultaneously. I use a range of software, including Microsoft Teams, Sharepoint, Excel, Raiser's Edge and Outlook. I sub-edit copy, transcribe interviews, write-up stories and regularly contribute to concept brainstorms for fundraising appeals.I'm always reviewing and improving processes including consent, safeguarding, and the management of sensitive data.I attend film shoots, interviewing people on location, and when necessary, use my photography and video editing skills to support the design and film teams.I ensure all stories, assets and storytellers are used responsibly across the organisation, and in close collaboration with our storytellers.
