Join us as a Communications & Partnerships ManagerWe're pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for a Communications & Partnerships Manager to join the parkrun Ireland team, based in Dublin. From quiet beginnings, parkrun has grown into a worldwide social movement with community at its beating heart.
Committed to breaking down barriers to participation in regular physical activity, and bringing communities together, we deliver free, weekly, timed events that people of all ages and backgrounds can take part in – as walkers, runners, volunteers and spectators.
Our mission is to create a healthier and happier planet. Now in our 20th year, parkrun events are delivered in over 2,500 locations across 21 countries.
parkrun Ireland was started 12 years ago and now there are over 150 parkrun events around the country taking place every weekend, with more locations being added all of the time.

The role We are looking for a motivated and dynamic individual to join our Irish team. The role holder will be responsible for delivering our communications strategy to engage participants and implementing communication campaigns within the Republic of Ireland, as well as supporting the account management of a variety of sponsors and partners.

The ideal candidate will have fantastic organisational skills, be able to build effective relationships quickly and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
We offer a range of employee benefits including 25 days paid leave (plus Bank Holidays) and a commitment to develop your skills and provide training.
We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups, to enable us to bring diversity of perspective to our thinking and conversation. We pride ourselves on being inclusive and it's important to us that we strive to have a workforce that is diverse in the widest sense. If you share our values and ambitions, and have the skills and experience, then we would be delighted to receive your application.
