This is a senior and highly visible position, working closely with business leaders and senior stakeholders to develop and deliver communications that engage employees, support organisational priorities and strengthen the role of internal communications as a strategic partner to the business.
The successful candidate will combine strong internal communications expertise with excellent stakeholder management skills.

- Identify opportunities to improve channels, content and employee engagement.
- Use insight, data and feedback to evaluate communications and demonstrate impact.
- Contribute to the continued development of the organisation's wider internal communications strategy and capability.
