The job title for this role is Internal Communications Manager, and internal comms will certainly make up at least 70% of your day-to-day work, but this role also requires someone who has the skills and willingness to get involved with social media for an external audience, and case studies and content for the broader external facing company website.
Our client is truly global and opening more offices at a fairly rapid basis and with tens of thousands of employees, taking on an internal communications specialist is a key requirement for the marketing team.
The role:
This is definitely a forward-thinking internal communications role, and they’re keen to utilise all forms of media to really build the message through the company, as well as keeping everyone up to date with important and exciting information. Reporting in the Marketing Director but with very close ties to the HR team, you will be the first internal communications person the company has ever had! It will be your role to source news and updates from all the global offices and you’ll manage a programme of internal events, including quarterly town halls, roadshows and specialist events and you’ll ensure all communications are available to support groups and initiatives which operate throughout the business.
Additionally, you’ll support the business divisions to identify and tell customer stories through engaging case studies, testimonials and focus pieces and you’ll manage the news section of the global website, identifying relevant company news opportunities, creating content and ensuring stakeholder approval. Finally, you’ll take ownership of the company social media channels, such as LinkedIn, ensuring a managed and controlled approach to regular content sharing that ells customer, company and people stories to their community.
What we’re looking for:
So, realistically you’ll have been working within a heavily internal comms focussed for a while, but you’ll also have broader communications skills as well. It’s likely you’ll have knowledge of working within an international, multi-sited organisation which sits within the b2b realm. You’ll be experienced at managing a range of stakeholders to secure buy-in and approval and you’ll just have a passion for content creation across a range of mediums. You’ll have a journalistic approach to sourcing news stories for both internal and external use, and you will have the ability to write in an engaging and high-quality way, appealing to those where English is a second language as well as native English speakers.
You must have social media experience, managing channels and content and some graphic design skills (Canva) would be a real advantage, as would some basic video editing skills. You’ll be capable of working at a fast pace within a growing organisation which is hugely ambitious.
What’s on Offer?
Salary really does depend on experience, but we’re setting a rough ballpark of between £35-45,000. This is a fully office-based role and has superb transport links close to the station. The offices are state of the art with everything you could possibly need for a working environment, and there’s loads of company benefit on offer as well. For more information, please get in touch.
