  • Consolidating fragmented communications approaches into a consistent operating model
  • Partnering with senior stakeholders across marketing, brand and engagement teams

You’ll likely bring:

  • 6-8+ years’ experience in communications, corporate affairs or communications strategy
  • Experience developing organisation-wide communications frameworks and plans
  • Strong capability across both internal and external communications
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
  • Experience managing communications across multiple channels and audience groups
  • Strong writing, planning and campaign development capabilities
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments and deliver outcomes quickly

Why Join?
