Volunteer with us: Co-Directors needed

[UPDATE 31/12/2021 – Applications now closed]

We’re searching for three new volunteer directors to join the Outvertising team. As the UK’s advertising LGBTQ+ advocacy group we work to make UK advertising and marketing completely LGBTQ+ inclusive. We do that by providing free resources to drive LGBTQ+ belonging and inclusion in our workplaces, and with free insights and tools to encourage LGBTQ+ inclusion in advertising. Join us and we promise networking, personal and professional development, and friendship. All are welcome to apply – LGBTQ+ and allies alike.

We have three important vacancies to fill:

Co-Director of Communications
From social to newsletters, you'll be jointly responsible for how Outvertising shares our message far and wide. This is a hands-on role.

Co-Director of Insight
You'll push brands and their partners to be more LGBTQ+ inclusive in their advertising by developing Outvertising’s insight tools and resources.

Corporate Secretary
You'll be jointly responsible for administering the regulatory and legal aspects of the organisation, which is a company limited by guarantee.

Revealed: Outvertising's new Council

Today we’re announcing the formation of the Outvertising Council. Led by its Chair, Lord Black of Brentwood (Guy Black), the Council will guide us as we work to make advertising and marketing completely LGBTQ+ inclusive.  Guy was the first out gay Conservative peer to sit in the House of Lords and has campaigned on a range of LGBTQ+ issues including equal marriage, gay conversion therapy and criminalisation of homosexuality in the Commonwealth. He was recognised by Pink News as Peer of the Year for his contribution to LGBTQ+ issues in Parliament. He is Deputy Chairman of the Telegraph Group.

“Outvertising’s aim is to ensure that UK advertising is completely LGBTQ+ inclusive. I see positive signs in our advertising output and in our workplaces, but there is still much work to be done. I look forward to working with the team and with the Council on the challenges ahead.”

— Lord Black

Joining Lord Black are Jane Luca, Director of Public Affairs at ITV; Diana Tickell, CEO of NABS; Pedro Pina, VP and Head of YouTube, EMEA; Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, “Lady Phyll”, Executive Director of the Kaleidoscope Trust and Co-Founder of UK Black Pride; Adah Parris, Chair, Mental Health First Aid England; Bobbi Pickard, CEO of Trans in the City; Sarah Garrett MBE, CEO of SPM Group; and Leng Montgomery, Consultant.
