Communications & PR Specialist

What we need A senior internal comms consultant who can move fast, create clarity and engagement, and own delivery end-to-end — not a strategist and not a copywriter. Someone who has run comms campaigns before, not just supported them. Profile • Senior — able to work independently from day one, with light direction • Execution-oriented: a senior doer, not a senior advisor. Comfortable driving projects to completion rather than handing off plans • Fast: works well within a compressed, high-intensity timeline (Sep–Nov) • Multi-format producer: comfortable with short video, testimonials, SharePoint pages, and channel-specific content (e.g. news letters, e-mail, Teams channels) • Comfortable owning stakeholder coordination: gathering testimonials from participants, syncing with vendors and other comms resources, aligning with central comms guidelines • Bias to shipping over perfecting • Track record with campaign or behaviour-change comms, not only informational updates Nice to have: Experience working with a tech org.
