We are working with a professional membership organisation who are entering a defining chapter. They are progressing through a significant programme of digital transformation, strengthening its policy and campaigns capability, and preparing for a major brand relaunch alongside a new five-year strategy - one that places engagement, reputation and trust, and clear, confident communication, at its heart.
We are seeking an Interim Director of Communications to provide strategic and operational leadership across its communications function during this pivotal period, as the organisation embeds its new strategy, prepares for its brand relaunch, and establishes the strategic alignment of its newly formed policy and standards unit. You will lead a broad, multidisciplinary function spanning communications, media, policy, campaigns, press, publishing, and marketing, bringing these together under a single, coherent and evidence-based narrative.
