  • Are you passionate about communications and crafting impactful messages for a diverse audience?
  • Do you excel at building strong relationships with stakeholders and delivering creative, engaging content?
  • Could you be our next Senior Communications Executive?

What you’ll be doing

As our Senior Communications Executive you will play a key role in delivering our internal and external communications strategy. You’ll be responsible for crafting compelling messages that resonate with a wide range of stakeholders, from senior leaders and colleagues through to journalists and members. Whether it’s developing content for internal campaigns or writing speeches for executives, you’ll ensure that communications are clear, engaging, and aligned with the IET's mission.

You will also manage multiple communication channels, including the intranet and social media, ensuring that both internal and external audiences stay informed and engaged. Your work will involve coordinating with senior stakeholders to transform their messages into impactful copy, contributing to major events, and driving awareness of key initiatives through innovative campaigns. Additionally, you’ll be tasked with building relationships with the media, handling press enquiries, and pitching stories that enhance the IET’s profile.

Alongside content creation, you’ll oversee the reporting and analysis of communication efforts, ensuring continuous improvement. By monitoring performance and engagement metrics, you’ll help the team adapt and refine strategies to enhance the IET’s visibility and reputation. Your ability to juggle multiple projects while maintaining a creative flair will be key to your success in this dynamic role.

What we hope you can bring to the role

We’re looking for someone with a strong background in communications or journalism, who is skilled at transforming complex ideas into accessible and engaging content. You should be adept at communicating with both internal and external audiences, tailoring your style to suit different stakeholders, whether that’s senior executives, employees, or members of the press. Experience in managing multiple communication channels, including digital platforms like intranets and social media, is essential.

You’ll need excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across the organisation and build strong relationships with key influencers, both inside and outside the IET. Your experience in copywriting will be vital, as will your ability to write speeches, news articles, and press releases that capture attention and convey clear messages. The role requires someone who can confidently manage a fast-paced workload, juggle priorities, and adapt to shifting deadlines.

Creativity and problem-solving are also important, as you’ll often need to develop fresh ideas for campaigns and communication strategies. Your strong organisational skills will help you manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining high standards of accuracy and attention to detail. Above all, we’re looking for a team player who can work collaboratively to enhance the IET’s reputation and support its mission to engineer a better world.

  • Craft engaging content for both internal and external communications, including speeches, articles, and digital posts.
  • Translate complex messages from senior leaders into clear and accessible copy for a range of audiences.

  • Collaborate with journalists and media outlets, handling press enquiries and pitching stories to enhance the IET’s profile.
