We welcome applications from candidates with experience in a similar role, as well as ambitious graduates looking to take their first step into communications.

- Working closely with an in-house photographer and videographer to conceptualise and translate campaign ideas

- Drafting messages and / or scripts from the leadership team for presentation to employees in written, video, and / or audio form
- Ensuring internal communications messages are consistent across all mediums and for different departments of the organisation
- Responding to feedback from staff and adjusting communications content accordingly
- Working closely in tandem with the Marketing team to ensure messages are consistent with all external communication
- Maintaining records of campaign engagement and collating insights, analytics, and metrics
