• Take briefs from stakeholders, challenging when appropriate to deliver measurable and creative communications that meet their outcomes
• Develop (simple) communications plans in support of briefs
• Manage the content on channels, taking ownership of the routine email communications and the structure, scheduling, and narrative of our news centres
• Monitor and provide updates on the measurement of communications
• Build and maintain relationships with communication stakeholders to spot opportunities and strengthen our communications network
• Work with our editorial and planning team:
• to ensure production and delivery runs efficiently against our editorial calendar and themes
• to support with coordination of key editorial and project meetings, including tracking outcomes and actions

Who we're looking for:

You'll be an experienced communications professional who is confident creating high-quality, engaging content.
