Internal Communications Executive

2 weeks ago


Salford, United Kingdom Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Full time

As a key member of Freshfields’ global communications team, the senior executive will work closely with the internal communications manager to develop and implement firmwide internal communications - this includes senior leadership team communications, and regional and practice group communications as required. There is also increasing demand to build engagement on longer-term cultural and change initiatives, such as Diversity & Inclusion and firmwide environmental targets.

The communications team (external and internal) sits within the Marketing & Business Development (MBD) division. MBD is a dynamic and talented global team, operating in a fast-moving environment. Some shape the client strategy and create campaigns that lead our digital presence; others work with journalists, create high-profile events, develop compelling pitches, and research complex business issues. Together, we define the client experience and shape the perception of Freshfields around the globe.

Freshfields is a high-performance culture and while this role involves a large element of support and implementation, all team members are encouraged to proactively contribute to communications strategies and plans, as well as general idea generation. On a more regular basis, the senior executive will be expected to draft internal communications and announcements, develop and support the firm’s internal communications channels and activities, and provide communications counsel and support as needed on key initiatives or issues.

This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, to take the next step in career development and be part of a collaborative and supportive global team.
