• Lead communications for business change programmes (BCP, system migrations, process change), including stakeholder mapping, comms plans, FAQs and feedback loops.
• Design colleague engagement activity (town-halls, leader roadshows, drop-in events) and work across the business to embed messages.
• Act as first-line PR lead for issues that influence internal audiences and the Society’s reputation; draft external statements, social media responses, and media briefings for sign-off in conjunction with our appointed PR agency.
What you will bring:
• At least 2 years’ experience in internal communications, corporate communications, or PR; ideally with some experience in regulated financial services or comparable sectors.
• Proven experience planning and delivering communications and colleague engagement programmes.
• Comfortable drafting clear senior leader copy and media lines under tight deadlines.
