About You

You will ideally have 10+ years' experience in a senior communications role, with a focus on corporate communications and media relations.

A proven ability to develop and implement communications approaches that support business objectives and enhance the company's reputation is essential.

Strong leadership and mentoring skills, as well as the ability to build and navigate relationships at all levels of the organisation, are also required.

Comfort with complexity, uncertainty, and a growth mindset will enable you to continually push performance to new levels.

Communication skills that enable you to connect at all levels of the organisation, adapting your approach and style as necessary for the particular audience, are also essential.

Sensitivity and awareness of different cultures and practices, especially important in a global company, are also required.

An appetite for flexibility to enable sustainable working across time zones, and a willingness to travel domestically and internationally, as required, are also necessary.

Qualifications

A Bachelor's degree in a related field such as journalism, communications, public relations, business, or related disciplines is required.
