  • Oversee, lead and line manage the UK corporate communications and public affairs teams, to achieve business and people objectives;
  • Develop and implement crisis management strategies to alleviate crisis situations and maintain a positive reputation through corporate comms and public affairs;
  • Deliver reliable reputational reporting at a senior level internally, using available benchmarking, insights and KPIs;
  • Confidently represent Just Eat at external events and meetings with relevant stakeholders;
  • Oversee the development of the departmental strategy, budget and allocation of resources.

What will you bring to the table
  • Significant senior level experience within corporate affairs, corporate communications and or public affairs;
  • Demonstrable experience of advising executive level leadership teams on reputational issues, ideally within a high profile corporate or business environment;
  • Politically and media savvy, with significant experience of influencing and building relationships with national and regional media, governments at all levels, and other external bodies;
  • Ability to identify corporate reputational risks and opportunities in commercial business strategies and designing corporate affairs strategies for both;
  • Demonstrable experience of dealing with high profile crisis management issues and developing robust mitigation strategies;
  • Demonstrable experience of leading high performance teams, with the ability to motivate, provide feedback and line manage teams and individuals.
