PR and communications Director, Internal & Executive Communications The Director, Internal & Executive Communications, is here to make sure everyone in the organisation is on the same page, feeling informed and connected to the bigger mission. Day-to-day, you'll be setting the strategy for how the team talk to the people, from the executive team right down to the frontline staff. This role sits right at the core of the organisation, acting as a critical bridge between the C-suite's vision and the employees' experience. When you do this well, the teams feel truly engaged, they understand big changes, and they're ready to pull in the same direction. Mess it up, and you'll see confusion, cynicism, and a real dip in morale, which can hit productivity and even retention. This can involve navigating complex, often sensitive information and getting it right every single time, especially when things are moving fast. One part of the role is you get to genuinely shape the organisation’s culture and impact how thousands of people feel about coming to work every day. It's a big job, but incredibly fulfilling. View
