Head of Marketing Communications
We are seeking an experienced and confident Head of Marketing Communications to lead engagement, messaging and stakeholder communications for a national organisation with a clearly defined audience and remit.
This is a senior, hands-on role combining strategic leadership with operational delivery. You will be responsible for turning complex subject matter into clear, compelling and practical communication that drives understanding, engagement and measurable value.

The Role

- Develop and deliver a communications and engagement strategy aligned to organisational objectives
- Translate complex information into clear, accessible and actionable messaging
- Plan and deliver a year-round programme of engagement activity, including events, meetings, digital channels and publications
- Build strong, trusted relationships with members, stakeholders, partners and influencers
- Act as a senior representative for the organisation at external meetings and events
- Monitor reach, engagement and impact, using insight to continuously refine approach
- Lead, mentor and develop a small communications team, setting priorities and standards
- Manage budgets and ensure delivery against agreed plans, timelines and quality expectations
