- Managing many diverse and demanding stakeholders across the business; listening and responding to Internal Communications feedback from across the airport, adapting your strategy accordingly
- Preparing and presenting annual plans to Heathrow’s Executive Team and working with the Director of Communications to deliver the airport’s communications strategy
- Representing the Internal Communications team at senior levels, including regular presentations to Heathrow’s Executive Committee
- Managing Heathrow’s crisis communications capability for internal audiences
- Leading, managing and building the capability of the internal communications teams

**These skills are essential**:

- Proven success delivering senior-level internal communications and engagement experience
- Delivering successful internal communication campaigns in a similarly demanding or comparably sized organisation
- Comfortable multi-channel communicator who likes embracing change and spotting improvements
- A diplomatic and experienced influencer who can work with and across numerous teams, clients, and internal stakeholders comfortably
- Confidence in managing upwards and working with senior stakeholders, including the Executive Team
