As Senior Communications & insights Manager, you will line manage a small team to deliver external communication activities and materials, including press releases, articles and thought leadership pieces.

You will be tasked with the management of a busy press desk and press opportunities, as well as have an appreciation for where social media and other forms of influencing can play a role to land a message with effect.

Our successful candidate will lead on the design and management of a variety of research projects with communications colleagues to provide insight that underpins innovative insight led communications that will support our work in corporate affairs.

About you

You will have proven solid policy and communications experience, having created impactful campaigns to develop buy in across multiple stakeholders.

We would like you to have a passion for, and knowledge of best practice insight techniques for communications and the ability to build momentum around a shared cause.

Our successful candidate will have experience of team management coupled with team player skills with a commitment to collaborate with others to achieve more together, contributing to a high performing and successful working culture.

As Senior Communications & insight Manager, you will have strong written and verbal communication skills, including presentation skills, you will need to transform complicated data into easy-to-understand insights for specific audiences.

You will have experience in working in a fast-paced communications environment, along with experience of bringing learner and stakeholder insight to develop engaging and impactful content.

Strong attention to detail is a must along with having the ability to manage multiple projects with challenging deadlines for different stakeholders.

Whilst not mandatory, it would be a bonus if you have an understanding of the funding environment and policy opportunities.
