It also provides a coordinating role for all the BBC’s communications from the Corporation’s divisional areas including TV and BBC iPlayer, Radio and BBC Sounds, News and Online.
We are looking for an established communications professional working at the very top of their game. You will be passionate about the BBC, broadcasting and media relations.
