Help develop the internal communications practice, increase its visibility across the company and work with other teams to improve how we communicate with our people
Attend external and internal events as required, travel will be required for this role
Who you are:
You’re organised, self-motivated and proactive – you’re someone who already leads meetings and activities comfortably and can see a project through from ideation to execution
You have worked with C-Suite and senior leadership before and feel confident communicating with that group
You’re a strong internal communicator, you can quickly understand how teams need to collaborate and the most effective comms to facilitate that
You have experience connecting multiple comms streams (we have teams that cross industries, timezones, languages, devices, tech systems)
You love variety, from sound design and music through to datasets and quality assurance, we have lots to work with! You should be excited by the prospect of having multiple projects on the go
You’re happy with hybrid working, you’ll be part of our London studio, joining the team in person and you’ll be excited to visit our studios further afield
