Communications Manager

This is a remote role

Acre is proud to be supporting The Copper Mark in their search for a Communications Manager.

As mining and metals become increasingly critical to the global supply chain and the energy transition, responsible production and sustainable development are essential to meeting growing demands.

The Copper Mark is working with companies throughout the metals value chain to enable them to meet the demands for responsible production practices, supporting sustainable development and mitigating environmental degradation to the benefit of local communities, customers, and consumers.
