• A strategic vision with the ability to translate corporate goals into impactful communication and engagement strategies.

• An experienced individual skilled in overseeing comprehensive projects encompassing brand repositioning, internal communications alignment and investor relations.

• Someone who is bold, creative, and not afraid to take the initiative.

• Hybrid Working Environment: We offer a flexible hybrid working model that includes time spent in our Birmingham head office, working from home for focused, productive work, and visiting clients at their offices. Our head office is spacious and modern, featuring a range of work environments, comfortable seating, a modern kitchen, sit-down and standing desks, and ample opportunities for face-to-face collaboration.
• Vibrant Office Culture: Our culture-building team organises regular staff events to keep our work environment fun and engaging. We offer a good set of benefits, generous holiday entitlement, and well-being support to help everyone perform at their best.
• Balance: We are committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance, ensuring our colleagues  can work effectively and recharge fully.
