Shape the voice of a respected national organisation.
Our client, a national membership organisation representing Local Authority Building Control teams across England and Wales, is evolving. An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Communications Manager to join the organisation on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is far more than a communications delivery role. We are looking for someone who can help shape the future of its communications function, bringing strategic thinking, fresh ideas, and a proactive approach to how the organisation communicates with members, stakeholders, and the wider sector.
Working closely with senior leaders, you’ll have the opportunity to influence organisational messaging, strengthen brand voice, and develop communications that engage a wide range of audiences.
The Role
You’ll lead the day-to-day communications function while developing a more strategic communications approach across the organisation. Managing a small team of Communications Coordinators, you’ll oversee communications across digital channels, website, email, social media, media relations, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring communications are clear, consistent, and aligned with organisational priorities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
A key part of the role will be understanding the different audiences our client supports and translating technical, policy, and industry information into engaging, accessible communications that add value to members and stakeholders. You’ll also work closely with senior leaders to develop communications plans, identify opportunities to strengthen engagement, and continually enhance communications internally and externally.
About You
You’ll be an experienced Communications Manager with previous team leadership experience and the confidence to build strong relationships with senior stakeholders. You’ll also bring:
- Experience developing and delivering communications strategies and plans.
- Excellent copywriting, editing, and storytelling skills.
- Experience managing communications across multiple channels.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills.
- The ability to translate technical or complex information into engaging communications.
- Experience leading, developing, and supporting a communications team.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Just as importantly, you’ll be someone who:
- Brings ideas and enjoys thinking strategically.
- Takes ownership and looks for solutions.
- Has the confidence to advise and influence senior leaders.
- Enjoys understanding different audiences and tailoring communications accordingly.
- Builds credibility quickly and works collaboratively across an organisation.
- Is organised, proactive, and comfortable managing multiple priorities.
Experience within a membership organisation, professional body, public sector, regulatory environment, or built environment would be advantageous, although we welcome applications from candidates with transferable communications experience from other complex organisations.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to shape communications within a respected national organisation where your ideas will genuinely influence how our client engages with members, partners, and stakeholders. The role offers a predominantly home-based working pattern, balanced with travel to meetings, events, and collaboration with colleagues when required.
If you’re looking for a communications leadership role where you can influence strategy, develop people, and make a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
